Relief Procedure
To
reduce the risk
of serious bodily injury
, including
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, injury from
moving parts or electric shock, always follow this
procedure when shutting off the system, when
checking
or servicing any part of the spray system,
when
installing, cleaning or changing fluid nozzles,
and
whenever you stop spraying.
1. T
urn the ES ON–OFF V
alve lever to OFF
.
2. T
urn of
f the air and fluid supply to the gun.
3. Trigger the gun into a grounded metal waste
container
to relieve fluid pressure.
4. Open the pump drain valve, having a waste
container
ready to catch the drainage.
5. Leave
the pump drain valve open until you are
ready
to spray again.
Filter the Fluid
Filter the fluid to remove coarse particles and sediment
which
could clog the spray nozzle.

Operating Checklist
Check the following list daily, before starting to operate
the system, to help ensure you of safe, efficient
operation.
1. Be sure all operators are properly trained to
safely operate an electrostatic air spray
system.
2. Be
sure all operators are trained how to prop
-
erly
and completely relieve system pressure.
3. Be sure the system is thoroughly grounded.
See FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD on
page
5, and
Check the Electrical Grounding
on
page 8.
4. Be
sure the operator and all persons entering
the
spray area are properly grounded by
wear
-
ing shoes with conductive soles or personal
grounding
straps.
5. Operator
must not wear gloves which
insulate
the hand from the spray gun. If worn, gloves
must be conductive or modified as shown in
Fig
3.
6. Be sure ventilation fans are operating
properly.
7. Be
sure the workpiece hangers
are clean and
grounded. Contact points must be sharp
points
or knife edges.
8. Be sure all refuse is removed from the spray
booth.
9. Be sure all flammable liquids in spray booth
are
in approved, grounded containers.
10. Be sure all conductive objects within 20 ft
(6 m)
of the gun are electrically grounded and
the floor of the spray area is electrically con-
ductive
and grounded.
Spraying Operation
This gun has a built–in lead and lag operation. The gun
begins emitting air before the fluid is discharged. When
you
release the trigger
, the fluid
stops before the air flow
stops.
This helps prevent fluid buildup on the air cap.
When
spraying, the ES indicator lights (BB) should glow
,
indicating
the electrostatic charge. See Fig 2.
