Ransburg REA Automatic Applicators 77359, 76110, 77140 - Manual (Page 26)

For efficient operation, keep the applicator’s exte-
rior and the voltage cable clean and free of paint
accumulation and dirt. This prevents the loss of
voltage to ground with a resulting reduction in
electrostatic effect. Paint accumulation at the air
cap orifices reduces atomization quality and in-
creases the potential for paint spits. Clean the air
cap with a brush and solvent as often as needed
to ensure good atomization.
5. Clean the removed parts with a soft brush
and suitable solvent.
ATOMIZER ASSEMBLY
CLEANING PROCEDURE
Routine Cleaning Equipment
Needed
• An appropriate non-polar (non-conductive)
solvent.
• A solvent safety container (grounded).
• A small soft-bristled brush.
• The Ransburg 19749-00 special Multi-
Purpose Wrench from the Installation Kit.
> To avoid damage to the fluid nozzle, nee-
dle/electrode, the paint pressure MUST be
released by triggering the applicator prior to
removing the tip.
> The applicator
MUST be tilted front down
to remove the air cap and/or fluid nozzle.
Failure to do so may allow paint to enter the
air passages, thereby reducing air flow and
damaging the applicator barrel/cascade. Ap-
plicators may be flushed in lieu of removing
nozzles. However, they must be either flushed
prior to, or tilted down during nozzle removal!
> The control unit power
MUST always be
off when removing the nozzles or any other
service to the applicator.
> Using any tool other than the Ransburg
19749-00 wrench to remove or reinstall
the fluid nozzle may distort or damage it.

NEVER wrap the applicator in plastic to keep
it clean. A surface charge may build-up on the
plastic surface and discharge to the nearest
grounded object. Efficiency of the applicator
will also be reduced and damage or failure of
the applicator components may occur. WRAP-
PING THE APPLICATOR IN PLASTIC WILL
VOID WARRANTY.
W A R N I N G
!
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the control unit power OFF.
2. Release the trigger.
3. Turn the paint flow OFF.
4. See “Disassmbly Procedure” in the ”Mainte-
nance” section.
>
Any damage to the gun may result in UN-
SAFE operating.
!
W A R N I N G
> Metal tools and wire brushes must
NEVER
be used. NEVER use a cleaning tool that
is harder than the plastic parts. If a deposit
cannot be removed with solvent and a rag or
soft brush, soak the part in the solvent ONLY
until the deposit can be removed! NEVER
SOAK THE APPLICATOR BODY, BARREL,
OR TRANSFORMER!
