Vector Solo 65kV Applicator - Maintenance
MAINTENANCE
SUITABLE SOLVENTS FOR
CLEANING VECTOR SOLO
APPLICATORS
When cleaning the applicator, a suitable solvent
for cleaning depends on the part(s) of the appli-
cator to be cleaned and the material that needs
to be removed. Ransburg recommends that all
exterior cleaning be done with non-polar solvents
to prevent a conductive residue on critical com-
ponents. 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 Ransburg distributor
and/or your paint supplier.
The Vector Solo applicator, air hoses, and fluid
hose assemblies should not be submerged or
soaked in solvent. However, the outer surfaces of
these items can be wiped with a suitable cleaning
solvent. The items that cannot be soaked are noted
throughout this manual. All electrical components
cannot be cleaned or soaked in any solvents.
† Use a non-polar solvent wipe as the final
cleaning sequence for cleaning all parts.

† The user MUST read and be familiar
with the safety instructions in this manual.
† If compressed air is used in cleaning,
REMEMBER that high pressure air can be
dangerous and should NEVER be used
against the body. It can blind, deafen, and
may even penetrate the skin. If used for
cleaning equipment, the user should wear
safety glasses.
† ALWAYS turn the on-off lever on the
power module off prior to cleaning and ser-
vicing the equipment.
† Be SURE the power is Off and the sys-
tem is grounded before using solvent to
clean ANY equipment.
† DO NOT operate a faulty applicator!
† When using cleaning solvent, standard
health and safety precautions should apply.
† Any solvent used to clean the fluid pas-
sages must be discharged into a grounded
container. Use of ungrounded or plastic
containers may cause fire or explosion.
† Any solvent used must have a flash
point minimum of 5°C (9°F) above ambient
temperature. It is the end user's responsi-
bility to insure this condition is met.
† Cleaning of the exterior surface of the
applicator should be done with non-polar
solvents. If cleaning requires the use of po-
lar solvents, the applicator should be wiped
down with non-polar 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.
