MAINTENANCE
† The user MUST read and be familiar
with the safety instructions in this manual.
† If compressed air is used in cleaning,
REMEMBER that high pressure air can be
dangerous and should NEVER be used
against the body . It can blind, deafen, and
may even penetrate the skin. If used for
cleaning equipment, the user should wear
safety glasses.
† ALWAYS turn the power supply off prior
to cleaning and servicing the equipment.
† Be SURE the power is OFF and the
system is grounded before using solvent to
clean ANY equipment.
† DO NOT operate a faulty applicator!
† When using cleaning solvent, standard
health and safety precautions should apply.
† Any solvent used to clean the fluid pas-
sages must be discharged into a grounded
container. Use of ungrounded or plastic
containers may cause fire or explosion.
† Cleaning of the exterior surface of the
applicator should be done with non-polar
solvents. If cleaning requires the use of po-
lar solvents, the applicator should be wiped
down with non-polar solvent prior to going
back into use. Using polar solvents will
leave a semi-conductive film on the surface
of the applicator that will effect efficiency
of the applicator and cause damage to the
components.

SUITABLE SOLVENTS
FOR CLEANING VECTOR
R90/70 APPLICATORS
When cleaning the Vector applicators, a suitable
solvent for cleaning depends on the part(s) of the
applicator to be cleaned and the material that needs
to be removed. Ransburg recommends that all
exterior cleaning be done with non-polar solvents
to prevent a conductive residue on critical com-
ponents. We also understand that some of these
solvents do not always meet the cleaning needs
of some materials. If conductive polar solvents
are used to clean the applicator components, all
residue must be removed using a non-conductive
non-polar solvent (i.e. high flash Naphtha). If there
are any questions as to what solvents are best for
cleaning, contact your local Ransburg distributor
and/or your paint supplier.
The Vector applicator, air hoses, fluid hose, and
high voltage cable assemblies should not be
submerged or soaked in solvent. However, the
outer surfaces of these items can be wiped with a
suitable cleaning solvent. The items that cannot
be soaked are noted throughout this manual. All
electrical components cannot be soaked in any
solvents.
