INTRODUCTION

Built-in timer allows the tank to be used without supervision. Safety switch that automatically shuts the machine down when the lid is opened during cleaning. Unit can be used to clean spray guns with solvents or water. Diaphragm pump provides a long lifespan and consistent performance. Drain valve at the bottom of the tank makes it easy to remove used cleaning solutions.

SPECIFICATION

ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Item numbers in brackets are those in the attached parts diagram. Instructions should be read in conjunction with reference to the attached parts list.
Attach legs to cabinet with screws (60), hex nuts (61) and provided and fit drain valve (62) to base of tank (2).

PREPARATION

AIR SUPPLY

Ensure that the air pressure valve (63) is closed before connecting the air supply.
An air pressure of 2.8~4.2 kg/cm², and an available air volume of 0.06~0.11 m³/min will be required to operate the unit.
WARNING! Ensure air supply is clean and does not exceed 4.2 kg/cm². Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear and may be dangerous, causing possible damage and personal injury. Air supply must be equipped with regulator, filter/separator and oiler.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 meters). The minimum hose internal diameter should be l0mm and fittings must have the same internal dimension.
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.
The air inlet connection is l/4” NPT

OPERATION

PREPARING TANK AND ITEMS FOR CLEANING

Before opening the lid of tank to insert the spray gun, earth the metal body of the spray gun to bear metal contact on the cleaning machine to discharge any static electricity.
Ensure tank drain ball valve (62) is closed and then pour solvent into tank (2). To aid future sludge removal approximately 2 litres of water may be added, either before or after the solvent. Ensure final level is at least 25mm (1 inch) above pump suction strainer (59)
Confirm air regulator valve (20) is closed and air supply pressure is regulated to not more than 4.2 kg/cm². Turn on air supply.
Partially open air regulator valve (20) and allow pump to run slowly for approx. 2 minutes to purge fluid used for manufacturer’s tests.
Check the spray gun to be cleaned, empty and store any excess paint for future use. For best results clean immediately after use, having removed as much residual paint as possible.
To clean spray guns to squeeze trigger and fit trigger lock with the steel hook loop (56-1) (56-2) as shown in fig 2.
Two gun supports are provided, one short (see fig.3.A) and another long (see fig.3.B.) Use whichever support suits the configuration of the gun to be cleaned. In general, guns which have top entry paint inlets (e.g. gravity feed) can be put on either support provided they do not foul on the underside of the lid. Guns which have bottom entry paint inlets (e.g. suction feed) will usually go onto the longer support. If required gun cleaning nozzle (8) may be fitted directly to manifold (6) without item (8) and (9) thus providing two short nozzles.
For pressure fed guns up to 2 litres capacity place the siphon stem of the pot cover over the short support and position the gun and hose son the screen platform. Over this capacity disconnect the gun from the lines and place on the long support.
Place pots over nozzles ‘C’, shown in fig.3.Screen (11) removed for clarity.

CLEANING

Ensure washer lid is closed and then fully open pump air regulator valve (20).
Select cleaning cycle setting as per selector knob see fig.4.
Setting 1: 1 min. 45 secs Setting 2: 2 min. 20 secs. Setting 3: 3 min. 45 secs. Setting 4: 5 mins. Setting 5: 6 mins. 30 secs.
Setting 6: 8 mins 45 secs.
The pump will now operate and expel an atomized spray through the nozzles in the cleaning tank.
Cleaning will be complete after 60 seconds, at which time pump should be turned off by closing air regulator valve (20).
Open lid and remove cleaned equipment.
NOTE: If, during cleaning, lid is opened, cleaning process will automatically stop. Close lid to continue, DO NOT store guns in tank.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! It is operator’s responsibility to ensure that there is no uncontrolled discharge of any fluids used with this unit and that appropriate arrangements have been made for correct disposal of waste in accordance with government/local authority regulations.
WARNING! Disconnect the air supply from the unit before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
WARNING! Wear approved safety gloves, goggles, respirator and suitable clothing.
SOLVENT REPLACEMENT
The number of guns the solvent can clean will depend upon the amount of residual paint, which is left in spray equipment. We recommend however that the solvent is changed on a regular basis to provide optimum cleaning performance and that paint sludge is removed weekly, as detailed below.
SLUDGE REMOVAL
No water added: Drain 2L of solvent/sludge from drain valve (62). Close valve (62). Close valve and add (b) clean solvent to tank to bring level up to at least 25mm above strainer.
Water added: Drain water until it becomes discoloured, close drain valve. Change to ‘dirty solvent’ receptacle, re open drain valve and drain 2 litres of solvent/sludge. Close valve, replace water in tank and then add clean solvent to bring level up to at least 25mm above strainer.
SOLVENT CHANGE
Completely drain dirty solvent. Clean inside of tank (2) and strainer (59) before refilling with clean solvent wipe up any spillage immediately.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Regularly check that opening the washer lid automatically stops the spray.
Regularly check and add air tool oil to air stop valve (66) on monthly basis.
Keep the outside of the unit clean.
Inject lubricant into air inlet every three months.
Use a hexagonal screwdriver in tool bag to open the circular cap of the pump and inject lubricant into it (fig.5).
