Daily Cleaning - Storch Airless SL 1600 HD Handbuch

Maintaining the spray nozzle and
nozzle holder
To reduce the risk of fluid injection or splas-
hing in the eyes or skin, do not hold a hand,
body or rag in front of the nozzle when clea-
ning or checking a clogged nozzle. Point the
gun toward the ground or into a waste con-
tainer when checking to see if the nozzle has
been cleared.
Do not wipe fluid buildup off the gun or spray
tip until the pressure has been relieved.

Daily cleaning

1. Relieve the pressure.
2. Regularly clean the front of the nozzle duri-
ng operation to reduce material buildup. Cle-
an the nozzle and nozzle holder at the end of
each working day. Use a solvent-soaked brush
to clean the spray nozzle.
If the nozzle clogs up while spraying
1. Stop spraying immediately.
2. Engage the gun trigger lock. Turn the reversible nozzle
backwards by 180°.
3. Disengage the trigger lock. Direct the gun into the pail
or onto the ground and pull the trigger to remove the blo-
ckage.

the spray gun and the flushing pails and work
with the lowest possible pressure level.

sure relief procedure.
