7. Cleaning and Maintenance
a) Flush the material-conveying parts of the gun thoroughly with thinner or
cleaning fluid.
b) Clean the air nozzle with a paint brush or brush. Do not immerse the noz-
zle in thinner or cleaning fluid.
c) Under no circumstances try to clean clogged orifices using an unsuitable
tool, since the slightest amount of damage adversely affects the spray
pattern. Use nozzle cleaning needles.
d) Slightly grease moving parts.
Notice!
Paint spray gun may be cleaned with solvent or cleaning agents manually
or in a conventional gun washing machine.
The procedures mentioned below will damage the paint spray gun/
system and may lead to expiry of the explosion proofness certificate
as well as total loss of any waranty:
•
Immersing the paint spray gun in solvent or cleaning agents, or for a
period longer than required for the cleaning process as such
•
Failure to remove the paint spray gun from the gun washing machine
after finishing the cleaning process
•
Cleaning the paint spray gun by means of ultrasound cleaning sys-
tems
Warning! Attention!
When using solvents and cleaning agents based on halogenated hydrocar-
bons e.g. 1.1.1-trichlorethylene and methylene chloride, chemical reactions
can occur on the aluminium cup, gun and on galvanized components
(small quantities of water added to 1.1.1-trichlorethyelene produce hy-
drochloric acid). This can cause oxidation of the components; in extreme
cases, the reaction can be explosive.
Therefore only use solvents andcleaning agents for your paint gun which
do not contain the substances named above. You must never use acid,
alkaline solutions / Iye or stripping agents for cleaning.
