When using METACAP Bottom Cup Sets, clean the cup (acc. to the
structural drawing of the bottom cup sets 1/78 and 1//81) by means of
a brush. Dismount the gasket sheet (see structural drawing of bottom
cup set 1/77) by pulling it out of the holding device (see structural
drawing of bottom cup set 1/79). Clean both the gasket sheet and the
holding device by means of a brush.
—
Fill in the corresponding solvent (filling height: half-full).
4. Adjust the nozzle cap (1/2) to circular spray beam, then use the nozzle
cap adjusting ring to tighten it, so that there is no remaining annular gap
between the nozzle cap and the nozzle.
5. Now spray with the solvent suitable for the coating material to be used.
Never spray directly in the ambient area, because this will cause
needless dangers through the release of solvents.
—
Always use the METACAP SRG spray gun cleaning device or the
injection orifice of a spray gun cleaning device. Repeat this
procedure until the spray gun is clean. The number of the rinsing
cycles depends on the coating material and on the corresponding
type of solvent.
6. Switch off the air and material supply and release the residual pressure.
7. Now, clean the outside of the spray gun by means of a cleaning cloth, if
necessary.
