11. Cleaning
Always refer to the health and safety instructions before carrying out any work on the spray gun
(
see § 2 page 8
).
11.1. Cleaning the product circuit
• Disconnect the
GNM 6080
control module.
• Install a bucket of solvent in place of the paint container.
• Open the recirculation valve to clean the pump.
• Close the recirculation valve and hold down the trigger until clean solvent comes out of the spray
gun nozzle/tip.
11.2. Cleaning the spray gun
The spray gun must be cleaned immediately after use and at the end of the day, as with all paint guns.
The cleaning procedure described below should be followed carefully:
WARNING : It is formally forbidden to plunge the NANOGUN-MV into solvent.
WARNING : Use an appropriate solvent: non-greasy, non-chlorinated and with a high resistivity.
•
Step 1
: Disconnect the
GNM 6080
control module.
•
Step 2
: Depressurise the spray gun air circuit.
•
Step 3
: Dump the spray gun paint circuit and rinse with an appropriate solvent (
see § 2.4 page 10
).
•
Step 4
: Depressurise the spray gun paint circuit.
•
Step 5
: Dry the spray gun air cap with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
•
Step 6
: Unscrew the spray gun air cap ring and remove the air cap (
see § 10.4 page 33
).
•
Step 7
: Clean the air cap with a solvent-dampened brush and then wipe dry.
•
Step 8
: Reassemble the air cap and ring.
•
Step 9
: Dry the compressed air spray gun (facing downwards) before restarting the
GNM 6080
control module.
WARNING : Never disassemble the needle assembly when the paint hose contains paint or
solvent.
WARNING : Never soak or immerse the spray gun in solvent.
When cleaning the nozzle/tip, always point the spray nozzle/tip towards the ground
to prevent solvent or paint from flowing into the barrel ducts.
WARNING : After cleaning, the ducts and supply hose must be dried with compressed air to
remove all traces of solvent.
11.3. Waste disposal
Waste generated by use of the apparatus (spent solvent, unused paint, residue, dirty cloths, paint booth
slurry, water-wash spray booth run-off, used dry filters, ventilation air etc.) must be removed, transported
and disposed of in strict compliance with the applicable local regulations.
