Ensure that the hose material is chemically resistant to the sprayed products.
Ensure that the material hose is suitable for the pressure generated in the device.
Ensure that the following information can be seen on the high-pressure hose:
-
Manufacturer
- Permissible operating overpressure
- Date of manufacture
Make sure that the hoses are laid only in suitable places. In no case, should hoses be laid
in the following places:
– in high-traffic areas,
– on sharp edges,
– on moving parts, or
– on hot surfaces
Make sure that the hoses are never used to pull or move the equipment.
The electrical resistance of the complete high-pressure hose must be less than 1 Mohm.

CLEANING
De-energize the device electrically.
Disconnect the pneumatic supply line.
Relieve the pressure from the device.
Ensure that the fl ash point of the cleaning agent is at least 15 K above the ambient
temperature or that cleaning is undertaken at a cleaning station with technical ventilation.
To clean, use cloths and brushes moistened with solvent. Abrasive agents or objects
must not be used. Ensure that the spray gun is not damaged in any way while cleaning.
Parts of the spray gun must not be sprayed with or immersed in cleaning agent.
Preferably, non-combustible cleaning agents should be used.
The choice of the appropriate cleaning agent for cleaning purposes of the spray gun
depends on which parts of the spray gun have to be cleaned and which product has
to be removed. When cleaning the spray gun only use non-polar cleaning agents to
prevent conductive residues on the surface of the spray gun. Should it however, be
necessary to use a polar cleaning agent, all residues of this cleaning agent have to be
removed by using a non-conductive and non-polar cleaning agent, once the cleaning
is fi nished.
Ensure that no electrical component is cleaned with nor even immersed into solvent.
An explosive gas/air mixture forms in closed tanks.
When cleaning devices with solvents, never spray into a closed tank.
Only use electrically conductive tanks for cleaning liquids.
The tanks must be grounded.
