MAINTENANCE
!
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/cas-
cade. Applicators may be flushed in lieu of tilting.
However, they must be either flushed or tilted down
during nozzle removal!
• Clean all insulating surfaces in the system. Remove paint
accumulation from the exterior of the applicator and high
voltage cable with a solvent dampened cloth.
!
† NEVER soak or submerge the electrical compo-
nents of the applicator, i.e., barrel or cable. Damage
and failure may occur.
Daily (or at start of each shift)
• Verify that ALL solvent safety containers are grounded!
• Check within 20 feet of the point of operation (of the
applicator) and remove or ground ALL loose or un-
grounded objects.
• Inspect work holders for accumulated coating materials
(and remove such accumulations).
• Check that the atomizer assembly is clean and
undamaged.
• Straighten the applicator electrode if necessary.
† Standard electrode is "snap back" spray
wire electrode.
• Clean the fluid filter, if used.
• Turn the power supply power ON.
• Run a current/voltage output test.

Electrical Current Output Test
1. Turn the paint and/or solvent supply OFF.
† Paint and/or solvent supply must be turned off
during this test - risk of fire or explosion.
2. Trigger the applicator (high voltage ON).
3. Slowly approach the applicator electrode to any grounded
object and make contact.
4. Monitor the current output reading on the voltage supply
meter as the applicator approaches ground:
Upon ground contact, the power supply should display
at least 140 µA and the green, yellow, and red LED's of
the microamp bar graph meter should all be illuminated.
Figure 7: Microamp Meter Current Output Test Reading
If the reading is outside of the acceptable range (135-
140 microamperes), DO NOT use the applicator until
the problem has been corrected (see "Troubleshooting
Guide" in the "Maintenance" section).
5. Release the trigger (high voltage OFF) and turn the power
supply power OFF.
