Vector Solo AA90 Applicators - Maintenance
Ransburg
22 AH-08-04.2
ROUTINE SCHEDULE
Follow these maintenance steps to extend the
life of the applicator and ensure efficient opera-
tion:
Several Times Daily
• Inspect the air cap for paint accumulation.
Clean as frequently as necessary with a soft
bristled brush and a suitable solvent.
• Clean all insulating surfaces in the system.
Remove paint accumulation from the exterior
of the applicator with a solvent dampened
cloth.
Daily (or at start of each shift)
• Verify that ALL solvent safety containers are
grounded!
• Check within 6m (20-ft.) of the point of opera-
tion (of the applicator) and remove or ground
ALL loose or ungrounded objects.
• Inspect work holders for accumulated coat-
ing materials (and remove such accumula-
tions).
• Check that atomizer assembly is clean and
undamaged.
† NEVER soak or submerge the electrical
components of the applicator, i.e., barrel,
power module, or handle. Damage and fail-
ure may occur.
† NEVER remove the fluid nozzle assem-
bly while paint is in the applicator or paint
may enter into the air passages. Clogged or
restricted air passages will cause poor atom-
ization and/or electrical shorting. Air passag-
es that are clogged with conductive material
can lead to excessive current output levels
and consequent low operating voltage or
long-term electrical damage. Before under-
taking any atomizer maintenance procedure.
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/cascade. Applicators may be flushed
in lieu of tilting. However, they must be either
flushed or tilted down during nozzle removal!
• Straighten the applicator electrode if necessary.
• Clean the fluid filter, if used.
Electrical Output Test
1. Turn the paint and/or solvent supply OFF.
† Standard electrode is "snap back"
spray wire electrode.
NOTE
† Paint and/or solvent supply must be turned
off during this test-risk of fire or explosion.
2. Flush the applicator (see "Flushing Procedure"
in the "Operation" section).
3. Follow instructions for use of the 76634-00 meter.
