When cleaning the REA-90 applicator, a suitable
solvent for cleaning depends on the part(s) of the
applicator to be cleaned and the material that
needs to be removed. ITW Ransburg recommends
that all exterior cleaning be done with non-polar
solvents to prevent a conductive residue on critical
components. We also understand that some of
these solvents do not always meet the cleaning
needs of some materials. If conductive polar
solvents are used to clean the applicator
components, all residue must be removed using a
non-conductive non-polar solvent (i.e. high flash
naphtha). If there are any questions as to what
solvents are best for cleaning , contact your local
ITW Ransburg distributor and/or your paint
supplier.
The REA-90 applicator, air hoses, fluid hose, and
low voltage cable assemblies should not be
submerged or soaked in solvent. However, the
outer surfaces of these items can be wiped with a
suitable solvent. When the applicator is
disassembled into individual components, some
of these items may be soaked in a suitable cleaning
solvent. The items that cannot be soaked are
noted throughout this manual. All o-ring and
electrical components cannot

Cleaning of the exterior surface of the
applicator should be done with non-polar
solvents. If cleaning requires the use of
polar solvents, the applicator should be
wiped down with nonpolar solvent prior to
going back into use. Using polar solvents
will leave a semi-conductive film on the
surface of the applicator that will effect
efficiency of the applicator and cause
damage to the components.
