Section 5: MAINTENANCE
The user MUST read and be familiar with the safety instructions in this manual.
If compressed air is used in cleaning, REMEMBER that high pressure air can be dangerous and should
NEVER be used against the body. It can blind, deafen, and may even penetrate the
skin. If used for cleaning equipment, the user should wear safety glasses.
ALWAYS turn the control unit's power off prior to cleaning and servicing the equipment.
Be SURE the power is OFF and the system is grounded before using solvent to clean ANY
equipment.
DO NOT operate a faulty applicator!
Use of ungrounded or plastic containers may cause fire or explosion.
Cleaning of the exterior surface of the applicator should be done with non-polar solvents. If
cleaning requires the use of polar solvents, the applicator should be wiped down with non-polar
solvent prior to going back into use. Using polar solvents will leave a semi-conductive film on
the surface of the applicator that will effect efficiency of the applicator and cause damage to the
components.
When cleaning the applicator, a suitable solvent for cleaning depends on the part(s) of the applicator to be cleaned and
the material that needs to be removed. ITW Ransburg recommends that all exterior cleaning be done with non-polar
solvents to prevent a conductive residue on critical components. We also understand that some of these solvents do not
always meet the cleaning needs of some materials. If conductive polar solvents are used to clean the applicator
components, all residue must be removed using a non-conductive non-polar solvent (i.e. high flash Naphtha). If there
are any questions as to what solvents are best for cleaning , contact your local ITW Ransburg distributor and/or your
paint supplier.
The Vector applicator, air hoses, and fluid hose assemblies should not be submerged or soaked in solvent. However,
the outer surfaces of these items can be wiped with a suitable cleaning solvent. The items that cannot be soaked are
noted throughout this manual. All electrical components cannot be cleaned or soaked in any solvents.
