MAINTENANCE
The user
MUST
read and be familiar with the
safety instructions
in this manual.
If compressed air is used in cleaning,
REMEMBER
that high pressure air can be dangerous and should
NEVER
be used against the body
.
It can blind, deafen,
and may even penetrate the skin. If used for cleaning
equipment, the user should wear safety glasses.
ALWAYS
turn the control unit's power off prior to
cleaning and servicing the equipment.
Be
SURE
the power is
OFF
and the system
is grounded before using solvent to clean
ANY
equipment.
DO NOT
operate a faulty applicator!
When using cleaning solvent, standard health
and safety precautions should apply.
Any solvent used to clean the fluid passages
must be discharged into a grounded container. Use
of ungrounded or plastic containers may cause fire
or explosion.
Cleaning of the exterior surface of the applicator
should be done with non-polar solvents. If cleaning
requires the use of polar solvents, the applicator
should be wiped down with non-polar solvent prior to
going back into use. Using polar solvents will leave a
semi-conductive film on the surface of the applicator
that will effect efficiency of the applicator and cause
damage to the components.
SUITABLE SOLVENTS FOR
CLEANING VECTOR R90/70
APPLICATORS
When cleaning the applicator, a suitable solvent for cleaning
depends on the part(s) of the applicator to be cleaned and
the material that needs to be removed. Ransburg recom-
mends that all exterior cleaning be done with non-polar
solvents to prevent a conductive residue on critical com-
ponents. We also understand that some of these solvents
do not always meet the cleaning needs of some materials.
If conductive polar solvents are used to clean the appli-
cator components, all residue must be removed using a
non-conductive non-polar solvent (i.e. high flash Naphtha).
If there are any questions as to what solvents are best for
cleaning , contact your local Ransburg distributor and/or
your paint supplier.
The Vector applicator, air hoses, fluid hose, and high voltage
cable assemblies should not be submerged or soaked in
solvent. However, the outer surfaces of these items can
be wiped with a suitable cleaning solvent. The items that
cannot be soaked are noted throughout this manual. All
electrical components cannot be cleaned or soaked in
any solvents.
