Remove paint accumulation from the exterior
of the applicator and high voltage cable with a
solvent dampened cloth.

> NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER remove the fluid nozzle as-
sembly while paint is in the applicator or
paint may clog the air passages. Clogged
air passages will cause poor atomization
and electrical shorting. Air passages which
are clogged with conductive material may
lead to excessive current output levels and
consequent low operating voltage and long
range electrical damage. Before undertak-
ing any atomizer assembly procedure, see
“Atomizer Assembly Cleaning Procedure”
in the “Maintenance” section.
> The applicator MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST be tilted front down
to remove the air cap and/or fluid nozzle.
Failure to do so may allow paint to enter the
air passages, thereby reducing air flow and
damaging the applicator barrel/cascade.
Applicators may be flushed in lieu of tilting.
However, they must be either flushed or
tilted down!
