7. Lower the air pressure and pull the siphon
hose from the solvent container and pump
out the remaining solvent. Run the pump
slowly. Do not continue to run the pump
after all the solvent has been expelled.
8. Close the relief ball valve and the air
supply ball valve.
START-UP
1. Prepare the BINKS pump for start-up as
described above, and, if necessary, flush
the pump.
2. Close the high pressure outlet and relief
ball valves.
3. Connect a suitably rated PTFE lined
hose from the MX pump outlet to the
proportioning equipment catalyst /
hardener pump inlet.
4. Immerse the siphon kit into the material
to be used.
5. Place the free end of the relief hose /
tubing into an empty container.
6. Open the relief ball valve.
7. Open the ball valve for the compressed air
supply and use the air pressure regulator
to set the compressed air pressure to
set the compressed air supply to 15 psi
(1 bar). The pump will now draw in the
material, and the material will flow to
the empty container through the relief
hose/ tubing. Make sure that any oil or
flushing solvent is expelled into the empty
container. Close ball valve and move
the relief hose/tubing to the material
container after all contaminants have been
expelled.
8. After placing the relief hose/tubing into
the material container, re-open the ball
valve and run pump slowly to remove
all trapped air. Make sure pump is fully
primed.
9. Close the relief ball valve and check that
all hose connections between the MX
pump and the proportioning equipment
are securely tightened.
10. Open the outlet ball valve and follow
the priming and use instructions for the
proportioning equipment. Adjust outlet
pressure as required for your application.

STARTUP AND OPERATION
NOTE
Before carrying out any coating work, we
recommend a test spray (e.g. on to paper or
wood). Only if the test gives you the desired
result should you start to coat the actual
object.
WORK STOPPAGES
CAUTION
!
If working with 2-K spray material, you
must note the given pot life and follow it
precisely. Within this time, the unit must
be carefully cleaned and rinsed with the
recommended solvent.
There must be no residue left in the
pump, the proportioning equipment or
the gun.
CAUTION
!
When work is stopped, the safety lever of
the gun must be locked.
For work stoppages of between 10 and 30
minutes, please proceed as follows:
WARNING
!
Wear eye protection.
1. Lock the safety lever on the gun.
2. Shut off the compressed air supply by
closing the ball valve.
3. Briefly open the high pressure ball valve,
taking care that the return flow hose is
not pointed at other people or at yourself,
until the pressure has reduced. Then close
the high pressure ball valve again.
4. Clean the outside of the spray nozzle
from spray material residue.
SHUT-DOWN
CAUTION
!
SHUT-DOWN
Once work is completed, the BINKS pump
must be thoroughly cleaned. Under no
circumstances must you allow paint
residue to dry out in the unit. To clean the
pump, use a solvent appropriate to the
spray material.
WARNING
!
Wear eye protection.
1. Close the ball valve for the compressed
air supply.
2. Make sure that the relief hose is still
directed into the spray material tank.
5 / 20
Carefully open the high pressure ball
valve to reduce the pressure in the pump
and in the high pressure filter.
3. Remove the spray tip from the gun.
4. Point the gun into the tank of spray
material and operate the trigger to reduce
any pressure which may still exist in the
fluid hose and in the gun.
5. Lock the safety lever on the gun.
6. Remove the siphon kit from the spray
material.
CLEANING YOUR BINKS PUMP
CAUTION
!
Do not allow spray material or solvent to
soak into the ground.
WARNING
!
Wear eye protection.
1. Clean the pump and the siphon kit from
the outside. Immerse the suction system
in the tank of solvent.
2. Clean the fluid tip/ tip system as described
in the service bulletin of the spray gun.
We recommend to soak the fluid tip in
solvent.
3. Unlock the safety lever of the gun without
fluid tip. Operate the gun. Close the
high pressure ball valve. Set the air inlet
pressure to 1 bar (14.5 psi) and slowly
open the ball valve. Let the solvent run
through the system so that the spraying
material can rinse out.
4. Let the solvent run through the system for
a couple of minutes until the solvent runs
clear through the gun. Close the ball valve
and lock the safety lever of the gun
5. Clean the gun from the outside and check
the filter on the handle (if mounted).
6. Clean the filter element of the high
pressure filter (if applicable).
7. Clean the filter of the siphon kit.
8. We recommend keeping the pump filled
with liquid.
NOTE
If the pump is not to be used for longer
periods of time, we recommend flushing the
system with a light, silicone-free oil.
