CLEANING THE UNIT

A clean state is the best method of ensuring operation without
problems. After you have finished spraying, clean the unit.
Under no circumstances should coating material dry and
harden in the unit. The cleaning agent used for cleaning (only
with a flash point above 100ºF (38 °C) must be suitable for the
coating material used.
Warm water improves the cleaning effect in the
i
case of water-dilutable coating materials.
•
Secure the spray gun, refer to the operating manual of the
spray gun.
•
Remove and clean the tip and tip holder.
UNIT WITH SUCTION SYSTEM
1. Set pressure relief valve to
2. Switch the pump ON (Pos. I) using the ON/OFF switch.
3. Remove the suction system from the material container.
The return pipe hose remains over the material container
until barely any coating material comes out.
4. Immerse the suction system into a container filled with a
suitable cleaning agent
5. Turn the pressure control valve back in order to set a
minimal spraying pressure.
6. Set pressure relief valve to
7. Pull the trigger of the spray gun in order to pump the
remaining coating material from the suction hose, high-
pressure hose and the spray gun into an open container (if
appropriate, increase the pressure at the pressure control
valve slowly in order to obtain a higher material flow).
The container must be earthed in case of coating
materials which contain solvents (e.g. by using a
metal container).
Caution! Do not pump or spray in container with
small opening (bunghole)!
See safety regulations.
8. Set pressure relief valve to
9. Pump suitable cleaning agent in the circuit for several
minutes.

(circulation).
The cleaning effect is increased by alternatively
i
opening and closing the spray gun.
10. Set pressure relief valve to
11. Pump the remaining cleaning agent into an open container
until the pump is empty.
12. Set pressure relief valve to
13. Switch the pump OFF using the ON/OFF switch (Pos. 0).
UNIT WITH OPTIONAL HOPPER
1. Set pressure relief valve to
2. Switch the pump ON (Pos. I) using the ON/OFF switch.
3. Turn the pressure control valve back in order to set a
minimal spraying pressure.
4. Set pressure relief valve to
5. Pull the trigger of the spray gun in order to pump the
remaining coating material from the hopper, high-
pressure hose and the spray gun into an open container (if
appropriate, increase the pressure at the pressure control
valve slowly in order to obtain a higher material flow).
The container must be earthed in case of coating
materials which contain solvents (e.g. by using a
metal container).
Caution! Do not pump or spray in container with
small opening (bunghole)!
See safety regulations.
6. Fill up hopper with suitable cleaning agent.
7. Set pressure relief valve to
8. Pump suitable cleaning agent in the circuit for several
minutes.
9. Set pressure relief valve to
10. Pump the remaining cleaning agent from the hopper, high-
pressure hose and the spray gun into an open container
11. Set pressure relief valve to
12. Switch the pump OFF using the ON/OFF switch (Pos. 0).
