† If a bell cup comes off a rotating
shaft because of motor seizing or any
other reason, the Atomizer and bell
cup must be returned to Ransburg for
inspection and evaluation to determine
if the bell can be used in operation.

TURBINE MAINTENANCE
DO NOT attempt to rebuild the turbine. Any
endeavor to disassemble a turbine during the
warranty period will void the warranty. Contact
your authorized distributor or Ransburg for
turbine rebuilding instructions.
VIBRATION NOISE
If the RMA-303 is vibrating or making an unusually
loud noise, it usually means there is an imbalance
situation. The atomizer bell cup may have dried
paint on it or the bell may be physically damaged,
or there may be paint trapped between the bell
cup and shaft preventing the bell cup from properly
seating. If any of these conditions exist, they MUST
be corrected. Excessive imbalance caused by one
of these conditions may result in bearing damage

† 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. WRAPPING THE APPLICATOR IN
PLASTIC WILL VOID WARRANTY.
† To reduce the risk of fire or explosion,
OSHA and NFPA-33 require that solvents
used for exterior cleaning, including bell
cleaning and soaking, be nonflammable (flash
points higher than 100 o F/37.8 o C). Since
electrostatic equipment is involved, these
solvents should also be non-polar. Examples
of non-flammable, non-polar solvents for
cleaning are: Amyl acetate, methyl amyl ace-
tate, high flash naphtha, and mineral spirits.
† Do not use conductive solvents
such as MEK to clean the external sur-
faces of the RMA-303 without a sec-
ond cleaning with a non-polar solvent.
† When using a rag to hand wipe the
RMA-303, the turbine air should be off, but
leave both the shaping air and bearing air
turned on. Insure that rotation has come to
a complete stop.

and turbine failure. Warranty DOES NOT cover
failure caused by imbalanced loading conditions.
To determine if the bell is dirty or damaged, remove
the bell cup and turn the turbine ON. If the noise
is eliminated, the bell cup is the problem. If the
noise continues, the turbine may be damaged
and should be inspected. Excessive air required
to achieve same speed may indicate a faulty or
contaminated turbine. DO NOT continue to
operate a noisy turbine.
