1) Immerse only the front end of the gun until solvent just covers the fluid

connection.

2) Use a bristle brush and solvent to wash off accumulated paint.

3) Do Not submerge the entire spray gun in solvent because:

a) The lubricant in the leather packings will dissolve and the packings will dry

out.

b) The lubricant at wear surfaces will dissolve causing harder operation and

faster wear.

c) Residue from dirty solvent may clog the narrow air passages in the gun.

4) Wipe down the outside of the gun with a solvent dampened cloth.

5) Lubricate the gun daily. Use a light machine oil on:

a) fluid needle packing.

b) Air valve packing.

c) Fan control packing.

d) Trigger pivot point.

Coat the fluid control spring with vaseline.

6) Caution: Never use lubricants containing silicone. This material may cause

contamination, leading to finish defects.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT

Before attempting to service or carry out any maintenance or repairs on your

Indy air compressor, always ensure that the unit is disconnected from the main

electrical supply, i.e. mains plug removed, also ensure that all air has been expelled

from the cylinder head.

NOTE: After the first 5 hours operation, check that all nuts and bolts are tight,

paying special care to the compressor head and crankcase.

To keep your Indy compressor working efficiently, periodic servicing is necessary,

follow the service schedules below.

Monthly:

Remove and clean the air intake filter element (37) (this should be carried

out more frequently if the compressor is used in dusty atmospheres).

With SPONGE ELEMENTS gently blow clean with compressed air or wash

in solution of household detergent.

Rinse and dry thoroughly before re-fitting.

Remember that a dirty filter prevents adequate aspiration and adversely

affects the efficiency of your compressor.

WARNING:

Never operate the compressor without the air intake filter fitted.

YEARLY or 1000 HRS:

Replace the air intake element.

EVERY 2 YEARS or 2000 HRS:

Check and clean the intake and delivery valves.

WARNING:

When components are removed for servicing always take the

opportunity to fit

new seals.

In the event of an air leak, follow the procedure below:-

a) Load the compressor to the maximum pressure.

b) Un-plug the compressor from the main electrical supply.

c) Using a brush and soapy water, wet all ‘’screwed’’ connections. (Take

care not to wet any electrical component).

d) Any leaks will show up through the formation of bubbles.

NEVER UNSCREW A COMPRESSOR CONNECTION WHILE THE MACHINE IS UNDER

PRESSURE. ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN ALL AIR IS EXPELLED BEFORE DOING SO .
