7. CLEANING
The gun is a precision instrument and it relies on good and frequent maintenance for its correct operation.
If stopped for a long time, lubricate all movable parts, axes and springs with grease.
Never use chemicals.Never use metal brushes, files, points or clips for dismantling.
SHORT BREAKS (LESS THAN 3 HOURS) :
Remove the paint on the air cap, with a brush and solvent. Otherwise leave the equipment as it is.
Removing the paint will prevent the drying and clogging of the holes.
LONG BREAKS (MORE THAN 3 OR 4 HOURS)
Gun
:
Unscrew the aircap. Remove the needle and then remove the fluid nozzle with the wrench provided.
Soak the needle, aircap, fluid nozzle in solvent and brush them carefully, as they are precision parts.
With a brush soaked in solvent, clean the internal part of the gun. Wash and carefully brush the
threaded parts.
Do not soak the gun in solvent
Paint cup
:
If you want to keep the paint in the cup, put a cover on it to prevent its drying. If not, empty out the
paint and replace it with solvent. Clean the inside and outside part of the cup with a brush soaked in
solvent.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING CHART – WHAT TO DO
DISTORTED SPRAY
Slightly unscrew the aircap retaining ring and rotate the aircap by 1/2
turn. If the defect is reversed, one of the lateral air holes is plugged up
or deformed.
Clean the gun aircap with solvent and unclog the air holes with a com-
pressed air. If the defect is not reversed, it means that the fluid nozzle
is damaged.
DISPLACED SPRAY
This comes from a defect in the central jet. Clean the aircap and the
fluid nozzle.
Make sure that :
- the aircap is correctly centered on the nozzle,
- the nozzle is not too big for the needle. When work is done with a
large needle opening, and the needle almost closed, the spray pat-
tern is not even in all directions.
FRAGMENTED PATTERN
The fan air pressure is too high at the holes in the aircap horns.
- Turn the fan air control clockwise (in) to reduce the fan air pressure.
- Increase the paint output.
