Checklist
Check the following list daily upon completion of equip-
ment usage.
Flushing
•
Flush before changing fluids, before fluid can dry in
the equipment, at the end of the day, before storing,
and before repairing equipment.
•
Flush at the lowest pressure possible. Check con-
nectors for leaks and tighten as necessary.
•
Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid
being dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.
1. Turn off the turbine air.
2. Switch the fluid supply to a compatible solvent.
3. Trigger the gun to flush the fluid passages clean.
To reduce the risk of an injury, follow the
