PREPARATIONS FOR USE
Solvent drums
Take a drum full of clean solvent and an empty drum of the same size. Pour approximately half of the solvent into the empty
drum and place one drum on the left hand side (see item 2 in Picture 1) and the other drum on the right-hand side of the unit (see
item 3 in Picture 1). The left drum contains the circulating solvent for the pre-wash cycle, and the right drum contains the solvent
for rinsing. The contents of the right drum will gradually be used up and transferred to the left drum. When the right-hand side
drum is empty, remove the left-hand drum and repeat the process with a new drum of the same size full of clean solvent
Note: The free volume in the left drum must be larger than the volume of solvent in the right drum, otherwise the left drum
might overflow.
The hoses on either side of the unit are inserted into the drums (see Picture 2). If the openings of the drums are too small (they
must however be over 41 mm in diameter), the adapters used should be replaced with the enclosed smaller ones. If the drum
openings are too large, a special adapter must be made and fitted to seal the drum openings. The opening of the drum must be
well sealed by the adapter.
If tall drums are used, the height of the unit can be adjusted. You do this by bolting the unit’s stand onto the Base Plate tray
through the stand’s alternative lower holes (see Picture 3). In addition the front cover must be moved to their lower alternative
positions. Finally, a cover-plate (DRESTER option 9140) should be fitted (see Picture 3).
Operating instructions
Operating instructions should be formulated on the basis of this manual and translated into the language spoken by the
employees. It should always be available close to the machine.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Empty the spray-gun of any residual paint into a separate spills dish.
First clean the spray-gun with the cleaning brush (see item 7 in Picture 1). As long as foot pedal (see item 5 in Picture 1) is
depressed, circulating solvent will be pumped through the cleaning brush.
Next the spray-gun can be rinsed with clean solvent if required. As long as foot pedal (see item 6 in Picture 1) is depressed, a jet
of clean solvent will be sprayed from the nozzle under the lid.
If necessary, blow out the spray-gun to remove any residual solvent. Connect the spray-gun to the air line on the left side of the
machine (see item 1 in Picture 1), and blow out the spray-gun through the funnel under the lid. By using this funnel, you prevent
the fumes from spreading within the premises.
Finally, all of the spray-gun’s channels can be blown out with the air-gun on the right side of the unit (see item 12 in Picture 1),
which can also be used to dry the spray-gun.
Close the lid after cleaning.
