8.- ELIMINATION OF THE AIR
Set the rod of the black pump on the value 3Y (2) and the rod of the red pump on the value 19
(1) (DIAGRAM 8).Draw in the colourant by lifting the pistons (3). Open the valve tap (DIAGRAM
9)push the pistons down to the bottom position forcing the colourant out of the pump and into an
empty container placed under the tap.
Bring the rods back to value "O".
Repeat the same operation with all containers.
DIAGRAM 8
It is advisable to top up the containers before the paint level reaches the minimum suggested
level (about 1/4 of the container capacity).
Thanks to this operation you can avoid the emptying. But if the paint level goes under the
minimum value or if the container should completely empty, the operation to eliminate the air in
the pumps have to be carried out after the top up of the paint (without this precaution, the dosing
of the colourants wouldn' t be constant).
Operate the device using the timer twice a day for ten minutes, so that the paint get completely
homogenized.
We suggest to clean the nozzles of the pump with a needle.
This operation should be carried out every day and, in any case, after a long period of not
working.
To do that, it is possible to extract the nozzle (1) from the valve (DIAGRAM 9). In this way the
complete removal of the paint is assured.
DIAGRAM 9
Position the can support shelf so that the container to be filled is at no more than 10 cm. from the
pump nozzle.
