Follow these maintenance steps to extend the life of the applicator and ensure efficient operation:
Several Times Daily
• Inspect the air cap for paint accumulation. Clean as frequently as necessary with a soft bristled brush and a suitable
solvent.
• Clean all insulating surfaces in the system. Remove paint accumulation from the exterior of the applicator with a sol-
vent dampened cloth.
Daily (or at start of each shift)
• Verify that ALL solvent safety containers are grounded!
• Check within 6m (20-ft.) of the point of operation (of the applicator) and remove or ground ALL loose or ungrounded
objects.
• Inspect work holders for accumulated coating materials (and remove such accumulations).
• Check that atomizer assembly is clean and undamaged.
>
NEVER soak or submerge the electrical components of the applicator, i.e., barrel, power module, or handle. Damage
and failure may occur.
>
NEVER remove the fluid nozzle assembly while paint is in the applicator or paint may enter into the air passages.
Clogged or restricted air passages will cause poor atomization and/or electrical shorting. Air passages that are clogged
with conductive material can lead to excessive current output levels and consequent low operating voltage or long-
term electrical damage.
The applicator barrel MUST be tilted front down to remove the fluid nozzle. Failure to do so may allow paint to enter
the air passages, thereby reducing airflow and damaging the applicator barrel/cascade. Applicators may be flushed in
lieu of tilting. However, they must be either flushed or tilted down during nozzle removal!
• Straighten the applicator electrode if necessary.
• Clean the fluid filter, if used.
