Operation Without Tap Water Connection; The Coagulation Process; Changing The FI Lter - DRESTER Boxer quattro Combo DB44C Manual De Operación

OPERATION WITHOUT TAP-WATER CONNECTION
If tap water is not available at the site of the gun-cleaner, you
have the option to use recycled water (obtained from the fi lter-
ing process) for the rinse-gun as well as the cleaning brush
In that case the machine should be reconnected as follows:
Disconnect the hose for the rinse-gun (item 1 illustration 9)
from the valve-panel, remove the red plug from the cross-
junction on the pump (item 2 illustration 9) and fi t the hose in
its place.
The wash-brush as well as the rinse-gun in the sink will now
both operate with recycled water by pressing foot-valve 10B
illustration 2.
When using the rinse-gun, the valve on the wash-brush (item 6
illustration 7B) must be closed.

THE COAGULATION PROCESS

1. EMPTYING THE FILTRATE CONTAINER
When the water level reaches the level of the working platform
(item 4 illustration 7B), it is time to perform the coagulation
process. The fi ltrate container (item 7 illustration 2) must howe-
ver fi rst be completely drained of its remaining content.
Remove the front panel (item 5 illustration 1) by lifting it up-
and-out.
Turn the lever (item 9 illustration 2) to open position, turn the
lever on the cleaning-brush in the sink to a closed position and
start the draining by opening the valve for the pump (item 8
illustration 2). The pump will now completely drain the fi ltrate
container through the drain hose and into the regular drain-
water system.
You will be able to tell when the fi ltrate container is empty,
since the pump will start to run faster. Then close the valve for
the pump as well as for the drain hose.
2. COAGULATION
N.B.: IT IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL THAT THE COAGULATION PROCESS IS
CARRIED OUT WITH THE GREATEST CARE, SO THAT LARGE FLOCKS
OF COAGULATED PAINT ARE FORMED. OTHERWISE THE FILTERS WILL
IMMEDIATELY BECOME OBSTRUCTED, AND CANNOT BE RE-USED.
A: Remove the working platform (item 4 illustration 7B).
B: Open the valve for the water agitator (item 5 illustration
7B).
C: Add the coagulation powder as recommended by the paint
manufacturer.
D: Stir the powder with a stick for a moment to avoid that it
sinks down to the bottom in lumps.
8
D: Allow the agitator to run for a few minutes.
E: Stop the agitator occasionally for around 30 seconds since
this improves the coagulation process. The total coagula-
tion time is around 3-4 min, depending on the amount of
powder, the level of contamination, etc.
When this is done, close the valve for the agitator.
3. FILTRATION
Open the drain-valve (item 10 illustration 2) and drain the
wash-basin completely into the fi lter (item 11 illustration 2).
Clean the inside of the wash-basin thoroughly with the clean-
ing brush (i.e. with recycled water), so that any remains of
residual fl ocks are completely drained into the fi lter.
When this is done, close the drain-valve
CHANGING THE FILTER
N.B.: MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE ORIGINAL DRESTER FILTERS,
NR. 8701 (MAIN FILTER), AND NR. 8702 (PRIMARY FILTER).
THESE FILTERS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND APPROVED BY THE
PAINT MANUFACTURERS.
The primary fi lter (item 2 illustration 11) collects most of the
coagulated sludge, while the main fi lter (item 1 illustration 11)
collects the fi ner paint particles.
Remove the sludge from the primary fi lter after each coagula-
tion process. (Once it is completely dry, the sludge is easy to
remove from the fi lter). By doing so the primary fi lter can be
re-used up to 10 times.
The main fi lter will gradually become blocked after trapping the
fi ner paint particles. In general, the main fi lter can be used for
up to 5 coagulation processes. The main fi lter must however be
changed every 1-2 months, otherwise there is a risk that mould
will develop.
N.B.: THE COAGULATION SLUDGE MUST BE HANDLED IN ACCORD-
ANCE WITH REGULATIONS FROM THE APPROPIATE AUTHORITY.
INFORMATION FROM THE PAINT SUPPLIER MAY BE NECESSARY.
