Maintenance
To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid,
relieve pressure before cleaning, checking or
servicing the equipment.
NOTE: Before disassembly, make sure all spare parts
are available (new in an unopened package if
delivered), and other parts are thoroughly cleaned.
Suitable lubricant and thread locking compound should
also be available.
Check the applicator for material leakages by visual
inspection.
Listen carefully for air leakages.
Clean the gun thoroughly.
Inspect hoses and cables for excessive wear.
Check the leakage detection hole on the swivel
chamber and all connections.
Check and tighten mounting connections
If possible, run a spray test on a spray test table.
Replace the needle packings.
Inspect needles for wear when replacing needle
packing
Change the sealing rings in the swivel chamber
Preventive Maintenance
Typical wear parts in the SST Switch 3D Gun are the
rotary seals (508) inside the swivel housing, the needle
ball shutoff valves (418), and needle packing (411)
seals.
Due to the different materials that can be used in the
SST Switch 3D Gun, the frequency for preventative
maintenance has to be evaluated for each case of
application.
Based on average usage, Yearly Service Kit, 25U328
is provided for maintenance once a year and Service

Maintenance Table
Task
Inspect the SST Switch 3D Gun, material, and air lines
at least once every two weeks. Inspect for leakage and
other visible damage.
The following tables list recommended maintenance
procedures and frequencies for typical usage. The
maintenance is divided between mechanical and
electrical tasks. A typical application is the SST Switch
3D Gun mounted on a robot dispensing a moderately
abrasive sealant.
If a normal PVC material and supply pressure are used,
replace after 1,000,000 cycles (1 cycle = open and close). If
normal LAASD material and supply pressure are used,
replace after 250,000 cycles.
Replace needles if needle coating has worn through and
base material of needle is exposed.
After 500,000 revolutions
Kit, 25T485 is provided for maintenance once every two
years (see page 38). Both of these kits are can be
purchased through Graco.
1. Dismount and disassemble the SST Switch 3D Gun.
See SST Switch 3D Gun Disassembly starting on
