6. SHUT-DOWN
Once work is completed, the BINKS airless unit must be thoroughly cleaned. Under no
circumstances must you allow paint residue to dry out in the unit. To clean the airless
unit, use a solvent appropriate to the spray material.
Wear eye protection
1. Close the ball valve for the compressed air supply.
2. Make sure that the return pipe is still directed into the spray material tank. Carefully open the
high pressure filter relief valve to reduce the pressure in the spray material pump and in the
high pressure filter.
3. Point the airless gun into the tank of spray material and operate the take-off to reduce any
pressure which may still exist in the spray material line and in the airless gun.
4. Lock the safety lever on the airless gun.
5. Remove the spray material pump or suction system from the spray material.
7. CLEANING YOUR BINKS UNIT
In no case spray material or solvent should soak into the ground or the sewage system
Wear eye protection
1. Clean the pump and the suction system from the outside. Immerse the spray material pump or
the suction system in the tank of solvent.
2. Clean the fluid tip / tip system as described in the service bulletin of the spray gun. We recom-
mend to soak the fluid tip in solvent.
3. Unlock the safety lever of the airless gun without fluid tip but with mounted tip system or tip
guard. Operate the gun. Close the high pressure filter relief valve. Set the incoming air pressure
to max. 2 bars and open slowly the ball valve. Let the solvent runs through the system so that
the spraying material could rinse out.
4. Let the solvent runs through the system for a couple of minutes until the solvent runs clear
through the airless gun. Close the ball valve and lock the safety lever of the gun
5. Clean the airless gun from the outside and check the filter on the handle (if mounted).
6. Clean the filter element of the high pressure filter.
7. Clean the filter on suction pipe.
8. We recommend to keep the equipment filled with liquid.
We recommend to preserve the BINKS airless equipment if it is not used for a longer period of
time. Please rinse the complete system with silicon-free oil as described in section 5.3.
