8. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8.1 WATER SIDE
Preliminary operations
Before carrying out any washing operations, check
that the stopper in the bottom of the wash basin is in
place.
Also make sure that the non-woven fabric filter is
correctly positioned on the filtering tank.
Manual cleaning with brush
Put the ON/OFF switch in the ON position to dispen-
se water sucked up from the collection tank through
the brush.
Then manually clean the parts.
The machine is supplied with a mobile grid placed on
the washing tank to hold the parts whencarrying out
manual washing using the atomiser brush or air gun
provided.
Use the air gun to dry the washed parts.
Instructions for emptyng the tank
When the washing tank is full of water mixed with
paint, to empty it proceed as follows:
1. Add the coagulant in the percentages indicated by
the supplier of the paint product.
2. Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON and turn the pneu-
matic mixer regulator knob on the front of the machi-
ne clockwise. Air will begin to come out of the mixer
tuve. This Will make the water bubble with a mixing
action.
By continuing to turn the regulator knob clockwise,
the intensity of the air jets and the relative mixing
power will increase.
Adjust mixing intensity carefully; improper use could
cause spurts of liquid/paint.
For this reason, it is advisable to use mínimum intensity
if mixing is performed out with a partially empty tank.
3. When the paint is coagulated, turn off the pneuma-
tic mixer by turning the relevant knob anticlockwise.
4. Remove the stopper from the bottom of the
washing tank.
5. Wait for the washing tank to empty completely.
6. The filtering phase will last a few seconds depen-
ding on the degree of cleanliness of the nonwoven
fabric filter. Wait until all the mixture goes through the
filter. The coagulated paint Will remain in the filter,
while the re-usable clean wáter will be deposited in
the lower collection tank.
7. Replace the stopper in the bottom of the washing
tank.
To prevent spurts, cover the upper tank with the
plastic lid provided with the machine.
8.2 SOLVENT SIDE
Initial washing
1. Dismantle the gun and empty the canister into a
suitable recipient. Raise the lid of the machine.
2. Raise the lid of the tub. Press the trigger of the
spray gun and use the nylon clip to block the trigger
of the spray gun.
3. Insert the blower nozzle into the air inlet of the
spray gun as shown in the diagram.
4. Place the spray gun and relative components on
the washing spray jet system inside the washing tub
taking care to insert the spray gun into the spray
nozzle.
It is advisable to use the automatic wash cycle with
full loads only, otherwise there is a risk that the
nozzles not occupied by the canister or spray gun
may spray solvent directly onto the lid of the tub,
causing leakage of solvent.
Close the lid of the tub. Turn the On/Off switch on the
machine to ON. Turn the dirty-clean lever to vertical
position for recirculation.
