SOLUTIONS 1. Hose Length The Easy Spray has been designed to work with a maximum hose length of 48 meters /160 ft. A longer length will render the heating capacity less effective. Under extreme environmental conditions, the hose heating system may be affected and fail to reach the required temperature.
Page 37
Service Manual 5. Hose Heating Components With the general switch turned off, make sure the hose connectors and the electrical connections between the hoses and the unit are correct and well fixed. If the connections are correct and the hoses do not heat up, check section by section to locate the connection that is failing.
Page 38
Manual de Servicio WARNING! Before resolving any kind of defect, make sure all of the pushbuttons are off, that the general switch is in shutdown position and that the unit is disconnected from the power supply source. Never handle the inside of the control panel with the unit connected to the power supply.

Service Manual To determine whether the unbalance is caused as a result of an obstruction or as a consequence of a problem in the pumping system, project with the gun, observe the pressure indicated on the corresponding pressure gage to the missing component and compare it with the pressure indicated by the gage to the other component: if the pressure of the missing component is higher, the unbalance is the result of an obstruction, if the pressure is lower, the unbalance is the consequence of a problem in the pumping system.
Manual de Servicio MAINTENANCE To achieve maximum output from the Easy Spray unit, certain daily or regular maintenance operations are needed. To prevent all possible body harm caused by incorrect handling of the raw materials and solvents used in the process, carefully read the safety information provided by your supplier.
Service Manual Heaters WARNING! Before performing any maintenance work, make sure all of the pushbuttons are off, that the general switch is in shutdown position and that the unit is disconnected from the main power supply source. Never handle the inside of the control panel with the unit connected to the power supply.
Manual de Servicio Proportioning Pumps WARNING! Before resolving any kind of defect, make sure all of the pushbuttons are off, that the general switch is in shutdown position and that the unit is disconnected from the power supply source. Never handle the inside of the control panel with the unit connected to the power supply.
Service Manual Inlet supply filters The filter bodies have a filter screen that prevents solid particles from entering the unit. Inspect the filters each day as part of the machine start-up, and clean them. Replace the filter screen if necessary. Isocyanate is a product that crystallizes with ambient moisture or freezing.
Manual de Servicio Isocyanate pump lubrication system Each day, inspect the lubrication cup of the Isocyanate pump and check the state of the DOTP plasticizing oil. Replace the oil when it shows changes in color or signs of solidification. The DOTP oil solidifies as a result of the absorption of moisture and the maintenance interval will depend on the working conditions.
