Air Spiral Hose; Maintenance And Care; Air Pressure And Air Volume; Storing - Westfalia 376962 Instruction Manual

Use the air spiral hose to connect the compressed air tool with the
compressed air supply.
Connect the quick coupling connector (5b) with the air supply and connect the
air tool connection (5a) with the compressed air tool.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure proper functionality and a long lifetime, diligent lubrication and
maintenance is essential.
For operating pneumatic tools clean air is required. Corrosion residues, dust
and dirt from the pneumatic pipes reduce the efficiency of the tool and will
cause technical problems.
If necessary clean the units and the accessory with a moist cloth.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals as benzene or thinner, which
may dissolve plastic parts.
Do not allow liquids to enter the tools and never immerse them into liquids.
Water in the compressed air inlet can damage the machine. Therefore it is
recommended to drain the air lines and the compressor in regular intervals!
Also clean the air filters in regular intervals.

Air Pressure and Air Volume

Operate the air tools with the pressure stated in the technical data using a
compressor with an air suction capacity of at least 200 l/min. When using
higher pressure than the max. permitted pressure for operating the air tool, its
self life will be reduced drastically. The ideal capacity is provided by
compressors with a suction capacity of 300–400 l/min.
Only use air hoses with an inner diameter of at least 9 mm. When setting up
the air pressure, always keep in mind that the pressure will decrease approx.
0.6 bar when using a 10 m long hose with an inner diameter of 9 mm.

Storing

If you do not use the paint spray gun for a longer period of time, lubricate the
complete spray gun from inside and outside with a little thin-fluid, acid-free oil.
Before next use, fill the paint container with a little thinner and blow it with
compressed air through the spray gun in order to remove the oil.
Store all parts of the set in a dust and dirt-free location.
