Shutting down
Job
The unit is to be cleaned and taken out of service after
work is completed.
Prerequisite
Required:
1 open container with at least 5 liters (1.3 gal.)
of cleaning material (the solvent must corre-
spond to the coating material and be recom-
mended by the material manufacturer),
called container
"A"
below.
1 empty, open container for the solvent/coating
material mixture, called container
"B"
below.
1 material container, called container
"C"
below.
Procedure
1. Turn off and depressurize the unit
➤
Close the air tap lock.
➤
Turn the air regulator control knob counterclockwise as
far as possible. The pressure gauge must read 0 bar
(psi).
➤
Close the spray gun and apply the safety catch.
➤
Hold the drain hose into container "
B
" and secure it
against slipping.
➤
Briefly open the drain valve on the high-pressure filter
to depressurize.
2. Tip dismount and clean
➤
Dismount the standard tip and clean it thoroughly.
We recommend storing the tip (standard or
reversible) in the solvent recommended by the
coatings manufacturer. This will avoid residu-
al paint from drying and clogging the tip.
3. Clean the high-pressure pump
➤
Remove the suction pipe from container "
C
".
➤
Wipe residual paint on the suction pipe and strainer
into the container.
➤
Place the suction pipe with strainer into container "
A
".
Funnel-mounted version:
➤
Pump the remaining material out of the funnel and/
or fill the material back into the original container
➤
Fill the funnel with solvent.
➤
Open the air tap lock.
➤
Slowly turn the air regulator control knob clockwise
until 1-2 bar (15-30 psi) operating pressure is reached.
➤
Hold the drain hose into container "
B
" and secure it
agianst slipping.
➤
Open the drain valve on the high-pressure filter until
clean solvent exits the hose.
➤
Close the valve tightly
Hold the spray gun against the inner wall of
container "
B
".
➤
Trigger the gun until clean solvent is emitted. Be sure
to maintain contact with the inner wall of the container.
➤
Close the spray gun and apply the safety catch.
➤
Lift the unit out of container "
A
".
Funnel-mounted versions:
➤
Pump solvent from the funnel until it is empty.
➤
Again, hold the drain hose into container "
B
" and secu-
re it agianst slipping.
➤
Open the drain valve on the high-pressure filter until
the pump runs dry.
➤
Turn the control knob counterclockwise until it turns
freely. The pressure must read 0 bar/psi on the pres-
sure gauge.
To avoid unnecessary loss of material still in
the hose, we recommend spraying the coating
back into container "C" until solvent emerges
from the gun.
If working with plural component materials,
the pot life must be observed. All system com-
ponents that come into contact with the mixed
material must be cleaned with the appropriate
solvent within the pot life given by the coa-
tings manufactuerer.
Observe:
➤
Warm temperatures reduce the pot life.
➤
Allow the solvent to circulate for a while.
➤
No paint residue may remain in the pump
or high-pressure filter.
4. Removing the filter insert
➤
Remove the element from the high-pressure filter ac
-
cording to the instructions found in Chapter 9.3.
➤
Wipe the inside of the high-pressure filter completely
clean.
➤
Close the high-pressure filter with only the nut moun
-
ted inside (without the filter element!).
If taken out of service for a long period
➤
Clean the unit as described.
➤
Do not, however, completely empty the pump of sol-
vent.
➤
As soon as clean solvent exits the spray gun and high-
pressure filter, reduce the pressure to 0 bar/psi.
➤
Hold the spray gun against the inner wall of container
"
B
" and tigger briefly.
➤
To depressurize the high-pressure filter:
➤
Hold the drain hose securely into container "
B
"
➤
Briefly open the drain valve
➤
The solvent that is left in the material pump is to re-
main until the next time the pump is used.
➤
When restarting the pump, be sure to flush the system
thoroughly.
