Vector R Series Cascade Applicators - Maintenance
Ransburg
32
ROUTINE SCHEDULE
Follow these maintenance steps to extend the
life of the applicator and ensure efficient op-
er-ation:
Several Times Daily
• Turn the control unit power to OFF!
• 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 and low voltage cable with a
solvent dampened cloth.
Daily (or at start of each shift)
• Verify that ALL solvent safety containers
are grounded!
• Check within 20 feet of the point of operation
(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,
hook, or cable. Damage and failure may
occur.
C A U T I O N !
† 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
atomization and/or electrical shorting. Air
passages that are clogged with conduc-
tive material can lead to excessive current
output levels and consequent low operat-
ing voltage or long-term electrical damage.
Before undertaking any atomizer mainte-
nance procedure, see "Applicator Assem-
bly Cleaning Procedure" in the "Mainte-
nance" section.
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!
C A U T I O N !
• Straighten the applicator electrode if neces-
sary.
• Clean the fluid filter, if used.
• Turn the control unit power ON.
• Run a current/voltage output test.
Electrical Current 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 ex-
plosion.
