10 Cleaning
We recommend that operators use rubber gloves and eye protection during work. Also check the
product sheet/supplier user manual for requirements to other protective equipment.
For safety reasons it is important to keep signs and operating handles clean and free from paint.
After finished operation and at colour change it is important that the machine is cleaned thoroughly.
10.1 Components
Brush screens, brushes, supporting rollers, curtain, guides and other components are dismounted and
cleaned under running water. After cleaning the parts are remounted. Brushes are dried prior to mounting.
Note that it is important that the brushes are always stacked/placed on the brush hub (1) during drying so the
hairs (2) are not bent.
10.2 The machine
The machine can be cleaned either with water or another cleaning agent depending on the type of paint
used in the machine.
The suction hose is removed from the bucket of wood protection. The pump is started, the nozzle valves are
opened (always remember to open the top nozzle first), the end plugs on the nozzles are removed, and the
final residue of liquid/paint is pumped into the machine and back in the container. After app. 2 min. the
nozzle valves are closed. Possibly stop the pump and dismantle the detachable side plate.
The nozzle system is empty when air is pressed out of the overpressure valve (air bubbles in the container).
The end plugs are remounted on the nozzle pipes.
The suction hose is placed in a bucket with water (possibly tepid water), and the overpressure hose is placed
in an empty bucket which is placed under the drain. The pump is started and the nozzle valves are opened
(always remember to open the top nozzle first). Stop the pump when only clean water comes out of the
nozzles.
The detachable side plate is dismantled. Close all nozzle valves. A washdown hose is mounted on valve no.
1. The pump is started and the machine is washed by opening valve no. 1. Then the machine is wiped and
finally filter bag, suction filter and overpressure valve is cleaned.
