3. Verify that the product return tubing (probe) (Nº9
diagram 1) is secured and inserted into the right tank.
Open the bleeding passage tap (Nº 15 diagram 1).
4. By turning the related controls counter clockwise,
check that the air inlet regulators (Nº5 and 6 in diagram 1)
are depressurised.
5. Connect the equipment (Nº 12 in diagram 1) to the
general air network.
6. Open the air passage tap (Nº 14 in diagram 1).
7. Adjust the control of the pressure regulator (Nº 5 in
diagram 1), turning it clockwise until the pump starts
moving. From that time on there will be a flow of product
through the product return tubing (probe) (Nº 9 diagram
1). Let it flow for 30 seconds to completely purge the air
out of the pump.
8. Close the bleed tap (Nº 15 diagram 1).
9. Adjust the control of the product pressure regulator (Nº
8 in diagram 1), turning it clockwise until the desired
pressure is reached.
10. Aim the gun towards the container and pull the trigger
until product starts coming out of the nozzle without air.
Excessive product pressure causes premature wear of
Short duration
When stopping for a short period of time that does not
pose possible problems with catalysing or hardening of
the product inside the unit and accessories, keep the
product suction probe submerged in the product (if the
unit has a gravity tank there is no need to empty it) and
apply the Depressurisation procedure (Section 10).
The washing machine, the hoses and the rest of the unit
must be cleaned with the appropriate solvent, in order to
remove any remaining product after each use. The useful
service life of the unit largely depends on the effective-
ness of this cleaning process.
The unit must be cleaned:
- Before using it for the first time, in order to eliminate the
traces of maintenance oil that the equipment comes with
from the factory.
- After completing the job.
- When proceeding to apply a different product (of a
different colour or characteristics) to what we are current-
ly using.
Before proceeding to clean the unit you must have
followed each and every one of the steps described in the
section Shut Down when work is finished (Section
12.2).
This implies that the unit and its accessories must be
depressurised and without any product inside.
Always use an appropriate solvent when cleaning the
unit. For water-based products always use water, for
other products always use whatever is recommended by
the manufacturer of the product to be applied.
It is considered that the unit and its accessories are
completely clean when the product sprayed from the
gun, or that flows out of the product outlet, is clean
solvent and is free of the applied product, for which it
must be renewed as many times as necessary.
Once the unit and its accessories are clean, and as a
prior step before finally shutting it down, the Depres-
surisation procedure described previously described
in Section 10 of the Manual must be applied.
the valves and the pump's and the gun's closing mecha-
nisms, as well as an unnecessary expenditure of product
during application. In the event that there is a low fluid
flow level it is advisable to increase the nozzle product
passage rate of the gun before increasing the working
pressure with the equipment's pressure regulator.
12. Adjust, by turning clockwise, the air regulator control
of the gun (Nº 6 diagram 1) until the desired air pressure
is reached to achieve an optimal application of product.
13. Adjust the product regulator of the gun and the
product pressure regulator of the equipment (Nº 8
diagram 1) to control the product flow ejected by the gun.
14. Adjust the regulator of the spread of the gun in order
to obtain the desired spread width.
15. Perform a non-compromised application test.
12. SHUT DOWN
Ending the job
1. Adjust the air pressure inlet regulator of the equipment
gun (Nº 5 in diagram 1) by turning it counter clockwise
until a pressure of 0 bar is reached.
2. Pull the spray gun trigger, holding it until no more
product comes out of the gun.
The unit is now ready to be cleaned.
13. CLEANING
- Clean the absorption filters of the probe or the product
tank and that of the gun.
- Remove any remains of product from the gun, hoses
and the rest of the unit with a cloth soaked in solvent.
- Keep the product gasket areas free of accretions and
foreign particles.
- The product spout is a precision component. Any defor-
mity, especially in the product outlet orifices, may cause
malfunctions in its operation and incorrect or faulty quality
spraying.
If necessary, dip the spot in solvent in order to soften the
remains of product or dirt. Once softened, blow out the
spout with compressed air until any remains of product
and solvent are removed.
- For automatic cleaning of the gun, tools and the acces-
sories used in the mixing and preparation the product to
be applied, we recommend the use of washing machines
in SAGOLA's product range.
13.1 AFTER TRANSFER:
1. Adjust the air pressure inlet regulator of the equipment
(Nº 5 in diagram 1) by turning it clockwise until a pressure
of 2 - 2.5 bar is reached.
2. Remove the absorption probe (diagram DM01/300 Nº
02 and 06 in diagram DM01/400) of the transferred
product container.
3. Wait until product starts coming out of the hose.
4. Open the air passage tap to the pump (Nº 14 in
diagram 1).
5. Adjust the air pressure inlet regulator of the pump (Nº 5
in diagram 1) by turning it counter clockwise.
6. Enter the suction probe into a grounded metal contai-
ner with the appropriate solvent.
