• An appropriate solvent
• Solvent safety container (grounded)
• Small soft bristled brush
• ITW Ransburg 19749-00 special multi-purpose
wrench from the installation kit.
> To avoid damage to the fluid nozzle,
needle/electrode, the fluid pressure MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST
be released by triggering the applicator prior
to removing the tip.
> 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 fluid/
solvent to enter the air passages, thereby
reducing air flow and damaging the applica-
tor barrel/cascade. Applicators may be
flushed in lieu of removing nozzles. Howev-
er, they MUST
MUST MUST MUST MUST be either flushed prior to, or
tilted down during nozzle removal!
> The control unit power MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST always
be off when removing the nozzles or any
other service to the applicator.
> Using any tool other than the ITW Rans-
burg 19749-00 wrench to remove or rein-
stall the fluid nozzle may distort or damage
it.

For efficient operation, keep the applicator’s
exterior and the high voltage cable clean and free
of paint accumulation and dirt. This prevents the
loss of voltage to ground with a resulting reduction
in electrostatic effect. Solvent accumulation at
the air cap orifices reduces atomization quality
and increases the potential for paint “spits”. Clean
the air cap with a brush and cleaning solvent as
often as needed to ensure good atomization.
> NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER 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 oc-
cur. WRAPPING THE APPLICATOR IN
