Shutdown
1. Turn the PUMP MODE to OFF.
2. Adjust the pump air pressure to 0 psi.
3. Disconnect the main air supply.
4. Bleed air from the machine by pushing off-center the valve stem on the bottom of the air
filter.
This also empties the filter of water collected from the air supply
.
5. Remove mix nozzle, purge machine with 3-5 complete strokes. Remove lower portions of
valve body, clean nose assembly and upper spools with solvent and cotton swabs (ensure nose
assembly is clear of product), wipe rods, spools, and seals clean of all material and lubricate
with compatible lubricant. If clean re-assemble and lubricate valve through grease fitting. If
not completely clean, soak in solvent until next production day, clean loosened particles
again, re-assemble and grease.
Water contamination will dramatically shorten, if not end, pneumatic valve life!
