  • Page 39: Operation

    Operation 5 Operation The machine must be correctly installed and fully assembled. ➤ Only put the machine into operation if you are equipped with the ➤ prescribed personal protective equipment. Details on this can be found in 2.5.4 ‘Personal protective equipment’ on page 21. The spray material must be available in sufficient quantity.
  • Page 40: Spraying

    Operation Spraying Before spraying, the work steps for commissioning must have been performed (see 5.1 ‘Putting the machine into operation’ on page 39). Put the intake into the spray material. Open the compressed air shut-off valve. Adjust the air inlet pressure such that the pump runs slowly. Unlock the spray gun and trigger it until the spray material runs out clean and free of bubbles.
  • Page 41: Tips For Good Coatings

    Operation Only operate the machine with as ➤ 30-40 cm much air pressure as is required to attain good atomization at the recommended spray distance of approx. 30 - 40 cm. An overly high spray pressure ➤ leads to increased material con- sumption and paint mist.
  • Page 42: Flushing

    Operation Change the spray nozzle before this becomes worn. ➤ Worn nozzles lead to excessively high material consumption and adversely affect the quality of the coating. Flushing Flushing the machine is necessary during initial commissioning ➤ so that the spray material is not adversely affected by the test substance that was used to test the faultless function of the machine in the factory, the machine must be flushed with a cleaning agent.
  • Page 43 Operation Close the compressed air shut-off valve. Hold the relief hose in the collecting vessel. Briefly open the relief valve to relieve the pressure. CAUTION If parts of the machine are clogged (e.g. spray nozzle, material filter for the spray gun, material hose, high pressure filter, suction strainer, etc.), the pressure can not completely escape.
  • Page 44: Operating The Lift Trolley

    Operation Operating the lift trolley The lift trolley (optional) is operated on the rotary switch on the frame (see page 28 no. 17) Stop Down Fig. 22 Operating the lift truck Material change Flush the machine as described in chap. 5.3 ‘Flushing’ on page Let the machine run to empty by taking the intake out of the cleaning agent and triggering the spray gun until air escapes.
  • Page 45: Work Interruption

    Operation CAUTION If parts of the machine are blocked (e.g. spray nozzle, material filter for the spray gun, material hose, high pressure filter, suction screen, etc.), it is not possible to fully relieve the pressure. During disassembly work, residual pressures can escape and cause serious injuries Protect yourself against the sudden emergence of material by ➤...
  • Page 46: Storage

    Operation Close the compressed air shut-off valve. Hold the spray gun sideways against the inner wall of the col- lecting vessel and trigger it again. Hold the relief hose in the collecting vessel and briefly open the relief valve to relieve the pressure. The cleaning agent that is still in the machine remains in the machine until it is restarted so that the machine parts do not stick together.
  • Page 47: Maintenance

    - all other maintenance and repair work must be carried out by WIWA customer service or specially trained personnel. WARNING During maintenance work ignition sources may arise (e.g. due to mechanical sparks, electrostatic discharge, etc.).
