Cleaning
6.1 After use of water based products
After daily use or when changing colour, it is
important
that the machine is thoroughly cleaned.
Due to safety it is important that signs and handles are kept clean and free of paint.
NB: Rubber gloves and eye protection must be used during the cleaning of the machine. Please follow
the directions from the supplier of the cleaning products.
6.1.1 All loose parts
Wash down the brush screens, brushes, backpressure rollers, and guide with water, preferably hot
water.
It is recommended a more thorough cleaning of loose parts before re-use or when changing colours.
The procedures for cleaning these parts are described below:
First clean the loose parts are described above.
Soak the parts in a mixture of 50% cleaning solution and 50% water.
It is important that the brushes are always stacked on "hub" of the brush to prevent the hairs being bent
out of shape.
Rinse the parts thoroughly in water before re-use.
6.1.2 The machine
Take the suction pipe out of the bucket of wood protection.
Start the pump. Open the nozzle valves (remember to always open the upper nozzles first). Remove the
end plugs from the nozzles and the last of the fluid will be pumped into the machine and return to the
bucket. Close the nozzle valves after approx. 2 min.
The nozzle system is empty when air is pushed out of the excess pressure valve (seen as air bubbles in
the bucket).
Remount the end plugs onto the nozzle tubes. Replace the bucket with one bucket of 10 l.
(approximately 2,5 gal.) of clean water and one empty bucket.
Place the suction tube into the bucket of water and the excess pressure hose into the empty bucket
underneath the drain.
Start the pump and open the nozzle valves (remember to always open the upper nozzles first).
Close the nozzle valves when clean water starts coming out of the nozzles.
Rinse the machine with clean water and a brush, if necessary.
Finally, clean the filter bag, suction filter and excess pressure valve.
