6.3 Cleaning - Routine
The spray gun need not necessarily be dismantled for cleaning if and when the
spray- ing medium is changed in regular intervals or upon termination of work
(depending on the material used).
Note
Clean and lubricate the spray gun frequently in accordance with Chapter
6.2 Cleaning - Complete. This will ensure functional reliability of the spray gun.
The following requirements must be met before the routine cleaning work can be
performed:
1. The material tank must be claen and then be filled with a compatible cleaning
aolution. Material pressure has to be available at the spray gun.
The cleaning solution should not be sprayed.
2. Take the spray gun into operation (see 5.2 Starting the Spray Gun).
3. Do not stop the spray gun until clear cleaning solution emerges from the nozzle.
The material supply of the series PILOT WA 7XX can be manually released so that
it is not necessary to operate the complete spraying system.
All pressures should then be removed from the complete spraying system until the
next operation.
1. Pull back the draw bar of the spray gun. The
material inlet is now open and both material
duct and material nozzle will be cleaned.
2. Do not let go of the drawbar until clear
cleaning solution emerges from the nozzle.
