SETUP

INSPECTION

• Inspect the shipping carton for signs of damage. It is your responsibility to report damage to the
transport company. Uni-ram Corporation does not accept responsibility for shipping damage
once the machine has left our warehouse. Keep the packaging materials until you are sure the
machine has not been damaged during shipping.

• Remove the machine from the carton by opening the bottom flaps and sliding the carton up over
the machine.

• Make sure the bag of accessories contains the following:

• Manual

• Trigger Lock Springs, 3 pieces (Part No. 120-350, Pkg of 3)

• Air Inlet Cap, 3 pieces (Part No. 100-611)

• Moisture Filter (Part No. 10-220)

• Nozzle Adapters, 1 each of 2 kinds (Part No. 110-430 and 110-430L1P)

(Part number for optional mini adapter is 110-430MJP)

If any item is missing, contact your supplier.

LOCATION

Position in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, heat and open flames.

LEVELING, VENT AND AIR SUPPLY

• Level the machine using the adjustable legs.

• Attach a vent hose (not supplied) to the vent outlet on top of the
machine. The duct system must not be under continuous vacuum.

• Remove the cover on the "Air Input" (right side of machine) and
screw in the Air Filter Assembly.

• Attach an air supply adapter (not supplied) to Air Filter.

The air supply pressure must be at least 85 PSI and
the air must be free from contaminants such as water, dust, rust, tar,
grease etc.

To prevent damage to the Diaphragm Pump an internal Air Pressure
Regulator has been installed to limit the air pressure to precisely 85 PSI. Do not install a sec­ond air pressure regulator or use a pressure set below 85 PSI.

See the section, Daily Maintenance, for proper maintenance of the Air Filter Assembly.

SOLVENT SELECTION

The adhesion quality of automotive paint has dramatically improved in recent years. The choice of sol­vent is critical. Only use good quality solvent that is formulated for your paint and intended for use
with automatic spray guns cleaners.

SOLVENT PAIL SETUP

• Open the door to the base cabinet

• Move the Drain Valve handle to the "closed" (horizontal) position if it is not already there. See
picture on right.

• One 5-Gal (19 L) pail of solvent is required. Place the pail in front of the machine.

• Disconnect the Suction Pipe from the Drain Valve by pushing the gray button and bring pipe
outside of the cabinet.

• Move the pail into the cabinet and re-connect the Suction Pipe to the Drain Valve. Insert suction
pipe into the pail.

GROUND WIRE INSTALLATION

• Three ground wires are provided to discharge static electricity. To work properly, all three must
be installed correctly. Connect the two wires inside the cabinet to the pails, one to each, and the
wire on the outside back of the cabinet to an external grounded object.
