Weekly Maintenance

eekly Maintenance

(Prior to Start or End of Production Week)

• Monitor rotational speed of all bells at the
speed control (should be within approximately
5% of target speed).

• Monitor high voltage output indicated on the
display of the control unit or at the meter of the
power supply (should be within approximately
5% of target output).

• Check paint flow on all bells at minimum and
maximum specified settings by taking beakered
readings.

• Check solvent flow by opening solvent valve
and taking a beakered reading (should be within
approximately 10% of target flow rate).

• Remove protective wrap from outer housing
and discard. Clean any paint on outer surface
of front and rear housing with soft cloth damp-
ened with solvent. (See "Warning" under "Daily
Maintenance" on avoiding the use of cleaning
solvent containing d-Limonene.)

• Inspect the feed tube tip and clean any paint
build up that has occurred on the feed tube tip.
Using a pen light, determine if there is build up
of paint in the motor shaft and/or around the
paint feed tube. If so, remove the motor assem-
bly following the disassembly procedures and
clean out the inside diameter of the motor shaft

Maximum flow rate should not exceed

500 cc/minute.

!!!!!

It may be necessary to remove the

bell cups for cleaning more frequently
than weekly. (See "Caution" under "Daily
Maintenance".)

NOTE

Do not use reclaim solvent containing

d-Limonene to soak bell cups.

!!!!!

Normally the wrap will not need re-

placement daily and could last about one
week. See "Weekly Maintenance" in the
"Maintenance" section.

• Check the amount of paint build up on the
outer protective wrap. If excessive, replace
wrap as required.

NOTE

The protective disposable wrap is for

one time use only. Do not wash and re-
use the wrap.

NOTE

• Check the high voltage connection by remov-
ing the cable assembly from the resistor block.
Examine the tip of the banana plug for any con-
taminants or corrosion. Clean or replace the
plug as required. Prior to reinstalling the cable
assembly, start at the rear of the banana plug
and cover about 6 inches of high voltage cable
with a thin film of dielectric grease. Insert the
high voltage cable until the banana plug seats
into the connector within the resistor block. The
blind depth inside the resistor block is approxi-
mately 7-5/8 inch. Ensure that the high voltage
cable is properly seated, tighten the strain relief,
and reinstall the connector cover. In an oscilla-
tion or reciprocator type application, always en-
sure adequate cable slack between the applica-
tor and the power supply termination point.

• Remove the front shroud and check for any
signs of solvent or paint leakage. Clean as re-
quired.

• Check position of high voltage tube where it
enters the motor housing. Make sure the o-ring
is not exposed. If so, push the tube in place.

• Remove bell cup and soak in solvent (MEK
and Xylene blend) for 1 to 2 hours. Remove
from cleaning solution and blow dry before re-
placing.
