Bell Cup Removal Tool (65mm Bell Cups
Only) A11247-00 (Optional Accessory)
This tool is meant to aid in the removal of bell
cups that are abnormally tight on the spindle
shaft. Typically, bell cups are easily removed
by hand with the aid of the standard bell cup
wrench (A12061-00). To prevent bell cups
from becoming difficult to remove, care should
be taken to remove wet or old dried paint from
shaft and bell cup taper and threads before
bell cups are assembled to the atomizer.
Before using the bell cup removal tool, clean
the exterior of the bell cup with clean solvent
and dry it. This will improve the tool’s ability to
grip the cups surface.
To install the tool, first engage the bell cup
wrench (A12061-00) to the shaft hex behind
the bell cup. Place the bell cup tool (A12247-
00) over the front of the bell cup and tighten
the knurled portion in a counter-clockwise di-
rection until very tight (left hand thread). (See
“Bell Cup Removal Tool” figure for proper en-
gagement of tool on bell cup.) While holding
the bell cup wrench on the spindle shaft, grasp
the T-handle on the bell cup tool and turn in a
counter-clockwise direction until bell cup is
loosened. If tool rotates or slips, tighten tool
further and retry.

Splash Plate Removal
After removing the bell cup from the applicator,
put it on a plastic or wood surface to prevent
damage to the edge of the cup. Using the
splash plate removal tool (A11388-00), insert
the small end of the tool into the end of the
splash plate assembly. Press the splash plate
out. It may be necessary to tap lightly with a
hammer.
