Turbodisk Applicator - Maintenance

TURBINE REPAIR AND
REBUILD
Turbine motor must be returned to Ransburg for
rebuilding.
Any attempt to disassemble turbine during warranty
period will void the warranty.
PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
Before any shutdown or maintenance, the fluid system
should be thoroughly flushed. All cleaning should
be done with a minimum of the appropriate clean
solvent and clean, soft, lint free rags or soft brushes
where indicated.
> Personnel working on applicators MUST
always be sure that the high voltage is off,
the fluid system is flushed and off, the rota-
tor has stopped, and that the grounding
hook has been properly secured to the mo-
tor housing.

> Because of the hazard of bearing pen-
etration, solvents should be used sparingly.
They should never be hosed directly onto
the atomizer, motor housing or fiber optic
juncture.

> Do not stop disk rotation by using a rag or
gloved hand.
> Make sure high voltage is off before ap-
proaching applicator.
> Follow proper grounding procedures.

VALVES AND REGULATORS
No maintenance is normally required on the valves or
regulator other than flushing with solvent daily. Visual
inspections should be made on the valves and regula-
tor on a weekly basis. Should the valve or regulator
not function properly, refer to the individual manuals
for troubleshooting and repair procedures.
Daily Maintenance
• Clean the atomizer disk, motor housing, fairing,
and as needed, the peripheral equipment with
nonpolar high flash point solvents.
• To prevent solvent penetration beyond the
slinger, a minimal air pressure of 5 to 10 psi
should be applied to the motor in order to
maintain a positive pressure. The motor should
be run at operating speed for several minutes
after cleaning to keep any solvent that has
accumulated at the seals from penetrating into
the motor housing.
> Positive air pressure must be maintained
to prevent solvent or paint intrusion into the
bearings. Solvent and/or paint will degrade
the grease in the bearings and cause failure.
Warranty will not cover this!
