MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Spray Gun Cleaning
Suction Feed Clean Up:
Turn off air supply. Disconnect cup from lid. Raise tube out of
material and pull trigger to allow remaining material to drain
back into the cup. Then empty the cup of material. Clean the
cup, lid and tube. Add some thinner to cup.
Reassemble - Turn on air supply and spray with proper
cleaning solvent. Repeat with clean solvent if necessary.
Remove solvent, disconnect gun, remove air cap and clean.
Wipe gun and cup with cleaning solvent dampened rag.
Pressure Feed Clean Up:
First, turn off air supply to material source (cup, tank or pump).
Release material pressure from the system by opening relief
valve or pulling trigger on gun.
On a pressure cup or tank, material in hoses may be drained
back. Lid must be loose and all air pressure off. Keep gun
higher than container and pull trigger. Allow material to drain
back into the container. Pour off remaining material.
A hose cleaner can be used to clean inside of fluid hose, gun
and fluid tube in cup or tank. Connect fluid hose to hose
cleaner,. Open air valve at hose cleaner. Pull trigger on gun and
slowly open cleaning solvent valve on hose cleaner. Flush until
clean. Shut off mixing valve when solvent and air discharge is
clear. Allow air to dry passages and then shut air valve at hose
cleaner. Repeat with hose to cup or tank connected to hose
cleaner. Lid on cup or tank should be set to one side of the shell
or on a waste container.
Note - This cannot be done with a pump. Pump must be run
with proper solvent to clean.
Clean inside of container and lid. Wipe down gun with cleaning
solvent dampened rag, then lubricate. Use SSL-10 spray gun
lube.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Without a hose cleaner, remove excess material from cup or
tank and clean. Set up cup, tank or pump to operate with clean
cleaning solvent. Turn off atomisation air to gun. Trigger gun
into waste container. Continue flushing until cleaning solvent is
clear. Blow air through hose to dry. Wipe hose and gun with
cleaning solvent dampened rag and lubricate gun.
Cleaning the Air Cap:
Remove the air cap and, if dirtied with dry paint, let it soak in
clean solvent. Later, brush and wipe off the air cap. If any holes
in the cap are clogged, probe them with a whittled match-stick
or tooth pick. Don' t ream the air cap holes with wire, nails or
metal tools. This may damage the hole and result in imperfect
spray patterns.
Note - Never soak the entire gun in cleaning solvent. This will
dry out the packing and remove lubrication.
Lubrication:
Daily, or after each use if intermittent, place a drop of SSL-10
gun lube on the points shown. Springs behind the fluid needle
and air valve should have a light coat of petroleum jelly.
