MAINTENANCE
In addition to the above Warning, which relates
to potential safety hazards, the following infor-
mation must be observed to prevent damage to
the equipment.
CLEANING PROCEDURES
O-RINGS
All o-rings in this atomizer are solvent proof ex-
cept the ones on the air bearing spindle. These
o-rings must not be soaked in solvent; if these
are exposed or soaked in solvent, they must
be replaced. These o-rings are engineered to
provide a fit between the air bearing spindle and
it's mating parts to reduce or eliminate harmonic
resonance (vibration).
Some o-rings are encapsulated. These o-rings
have a limited amount of stretch and will not return
to their original diameters if over stretched. These
o-rings are subject to being distorted more easily
than rubber o-rings, so it is important that they
be sufficiently lubricated when mating parts are
installed onto them. They also will take a square
set over time and should be replaced periodically
if mating parts are removed repeatedly or if a new
mating part is installed onto them.
Any o-ring that is cracked, nicked, or distorted
must be replaced.
A suitable lubricant is food grade petroleum jell or
A11545-00 Petrolatum Jell.
>
DO NOT immerse the RMA-303 tur-
bine in solvent or other liquids. Turbine
components will be damaged and warranty
will be voided.
>
Bearing air must be on during all clean-
ing procedures to protect the air bearing
components.

Electrical shock and fire hazards can
exist during maintenance. Micro-Pak
supply must be turned off before enter-
ing the spray area and performing any
maintenance procedures on the atomizer.
Spray booth fans should re-main on while
cleaning with solvents.
>
Never touch the atomizer bell while it is
spinning. The front edge of the bell can
easily cut into human skin or cut through
gloves and other materials. Be sure the
atomizer bell has stopped spin-ning before
attempting to touch it. Approximate time
for the bell to stop spinning after turning
off turbine drive air is three minutes.
>
Insure high voltage is off during any
manual cleaning procedure.
