Setting the machine up

PLEASE NOTE: It is advised that an air, dirt and water trap filter is fitted (786
as shown on the front page). This will protect the valves and cylinder from dirt
and water contamination.

It is possible to obtain 100/150 gun washes from a 25 litre drum of solvent but this is dependent
upon how much paint material is left in your spray gun pot. We recommend regular changing of the
solvent to ensure absolute cleanliness of your spray gun.

Position machine in a well ventilated area. The extraction outlet will accept 3” (75mm) hose and

1

should be connected to an existing system or taken to the external part of a building and vented via
the atmosphere. Hose and a range of adaptors are available direct from Unic International.

3

Connect the machine to the air supply. All air connections are located on the right hand side of the
machine when viewed from the front.

4

Connect earth wire on rear of machine to suitable earthing point.

Air Supply Pressure: 40 to 90 PSI. 2.75-6.9 bar, 3-kg / cm2.

Thread size: 1/4” BSP

MAINTENANCE CHECK:
Suction Filter:

It is recommended that the Suction Filter be cleared thoroughly every time the cleaning
fluid is replaced.

Please note: If the Suction Filter is damaged or removed, the Pump Warranty is void.
Lubrication:

The air valve is lubricated at the factory and designed to operate without additional
lubrication. If added lubrication is desired, every 500 hours of operation (or monthly)
Remove the hose from the pump air inlet and add two drops of machine oil to the air
inlet.

The Unic range of Gun Cleaning Machines are Category 2 equipment that is suitable for
Apparatus Groups (Gas groups) IIA, IIB and IIC, with a temperature class of T6.
