5. Electrical sparks of all types create an R.F.
energy (radio frequency) that may radiate through
the air and enter into electronic circuits. The re-
sulting damage is unpredictable.
6. Computer software such as tapes, disks, dis-
kettes, etc., should be removed from inside of
and from the immediately surrounding area of
any enclosures that are to be painted.
7. Lightning or electrostatic voltage sparking into
an A.C. circuit can create "spikes" or electro-mag-
netic pulse (EMP) that can cause unpredictable
damage to electronic hardware.
8. Surge suppressors are available that may
help protect appliances from "spikes" of current
if the suppressor is in the AC line supplying the
appliance.
9. When painting any type of electrical control
panel or console it is generally not known if all
push-button, switches, meters, or pilot lights are
properly grounded. In view of this, it is desirable
to cover all of these items with aluminum foil which
is grounded to the panel or another earth ground.
10. All on-site painting companies should have
adequate liability insurance to protect them in the
event of any real or perceived damage as a result
of their operations.
In view of the above unknown and possible un-
controlled conditions, Ransburg does not recom-
mend the electrostatic spray painting of computer
cabinets, consoles, or painting in close proximity
to these devices.
SHUTDOWN
These steps are to be followed during a shut-
down for short periods such as breaks, lunch,
downtime, etc.

† BEFORE attempting any cleaning or
color change procedures, the high volt-
age and the AC power to the power supply
MUST be turned OFF!

!
† The bell MUST be cleaned if the gun ill
not be operated again within a few minutes.
If two component catalyzed paint is used,
frequent bell cleaning and flushing may be
required. (See "Color Change" in the "Oper-
ation" section.)
1. Place the feed tube in the one o'clock position.
Loosen the set screw on the bell hub. Then hold
the shaft collar with one hand and turn the bell on
the shaft with the other hand as you pull it forward
off the shaft.
2. Clean the bell with a soft brush (nonmetallic)
or cloth and a suitable solvent. The bell MUST
be cleaned if the spraying is to be interrupted for
more than a few minutes.
3. Dry the bell and reinstall it on the shaft. Re-po-
sition the feed tube and contact brush.
!
† DO NOT soak the bell in solvent as
this may deteriorate its black conductive
coating. See Service Instruction "Solvent
Effects on #2 Handgun Bell / Brush Wear"
and "Paint and Solvent Specifications" in
the "Appendix" section of this manual.
END OF SHIFT
These steps are to be followed during a shutdown
for extended periods of time exceeding one hour.
Time may vary according to the applications and
material being used.
1. Release the trigger and allow the bell to rotate
until it is clear of paint. Then turn the gun motor
OFF.
2. Turn the power supply OFF. The power sup-
ply must be "OFF" to perform any cleaning or
maintenance.
