1.2 APPLICATION.
The Spray-gun washer was designed and built exclusively to wash spray-guns or small-sized pieces, using clean water or special
water-based solvents. The Spray-gun washer can be used only to wash parts that have been soiled with paint. Pieces must be
made of metal, preferably steel or anti-static material, and must have a weight that does not exceed 10 kg. Ensure that the pH of
the water-based solvent ranges between 6.5 and 12 when used instead of water to wash parts. The fluid solvent mixture should not
contain inflammable components; if such components are present, the concentration must not exceed 8%.
PROHIBITED USES OF THE SPRAY-GUN WASHER:
All washing operations of objects or products that are not included in this manual, or of objects approved (spray-gun and small com-
ponents) but with solvents with specifications other than those indicated in this manual, are expressly forbidden:
WARNING
The Spray-gun washer must be used exclusively for the purpose for which it was designed and built. All
other uses not covered by this manual are to be considered inappropriate and are strictly forbidden.
ANEST IWATA EUROPE declines any and all responsibility for damage to persons, animals and pro-
perty deriving from improper use of the Spray-gun washer or from failure to observe the instructions in
this manual.
The Spray-gun washer has been designed and built by ANEST IWATA EUROPE in order to guarantee a high level of protection,
efficient operations and conformity with the working parameters provided for devices group II, category 2 in explosive atmosphe-
res caused by gas, vapour or mist in compliance with Directive 94/9/CE (ATEX).
The Spray-gun washer is fitted with protection systems that guarantee the required level of protection also when recurring trou-
bles or working faults of the appliance itself are expected.
Thanks to such a design and manufacture, the Spray-gun washer can be used in environments where the atmosphere is poten-
tially explosive which are classified according to the following risk areas (Directive 1999/92/CE).
•ZONE 1: Area in which, during normal working activities, an occasional explosive atmosphere is to be expected which consists
of a composition of air and flammable substances in form of gases, vapours or mists.
The device can always be used in areas where there is a lower risk of explosion, such as in zone 2.
Since the Spray-gun washer was built to wash spray-guns using clean water or water-based solvents devoid of inflammable com-
ponents, there are no restrictions with respect to the installation of other machines near the Spray-gun washer.

4.2 INSTALLATION.
In order to install the Spray-gun washer correctly, it is useful to bear in mind that the of inlet air speed into the suction hood, indi-
cated in table <1.5 TECHNICAL DATA> is influenced by the length and shape of the fume exhaust pipe. An extremely long or cur-
ved pipe, with section reductions or long horizontal sections will inevitably cause a drop in air flow to the exhaust stack, with conse-
quently greater concentrations of vapour in the washing area. Therefore, follow instructions carefully.
Comply with the following instructions when installing the Spray-gun washer:
•Insert the discharge hose (pos. 16, fig. 1) into the hole on top of the Spray-gun washer and put it in upright position for at least
1 meter; connect it to the outside of the workshop. If the outlet hole is over 2 metres away, it is recommended that you use a
12 cm diameter galvanized iron pipe (no plastic) with the elbow as distant as possible from the Spray-gun washer
(see figure AS).
Example: if the outlet hose is 5 metres long, at least 3-4 metres should be vertical, and 2-1 metres horizontal. Avoid putting 1
metre vertical and 4 metres horizontal.
•Connect the gun feeding hose (pos. 4 fig.1) to the fitting (pos. 10 fig.1).
•Connect the brush with the hose to the fitting (pos. 22C fig. 1).
•Connect the filtered air feeding hose to the fitting (pos. 12 fig.1), through at least an 8 mm hole. It is recommended that you use
a fast-on air inlet fitting, to facilitate periodical lubrication (3-4 times yearly) with oil for nebulizers.
•Connect the external ground cable (pos. 74 fig.1) to the workshop system.
•Install the flow regulator valve (pos.23R fig. 1) to the water inlet valve (pos. 23C fig.1) and connect it to the water mains.

6. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE.
The following instructions must be read and fully understood before starting to work with the Spray-gun washer. With the Spray-
gun washer, it is possible to wash the spray guns in several ways:
1) Automatic water washing of the gun and accessories.
2) Manual water washing of the gun and accessories
6.1 PREPARATION FOR USE OF THE SPRAY-GUN WASHER.
•Pour approximately 10 litres of water in the sink (pos.2 fig.1), approx. 30 litres in the container (pos.W53 fig.1) and
insert the two hoses (pos.23-24 fig.1) in that same container.
•Adjust the fresh water flow by means of the valve (pos.23R fig.1).
•Check the automatic washing of the diaphragm pump (pos.32 fig.1) and , if necessary adjust it by means of the
screw (pos.56 fig.PA) positioned on the pump. The pump must make 60 ÷ 70 strokes/min.
6.2 AUTOMATIC WASHING OF THE GUN AND ACECSSORIES.
Remove the gun cover. Empty the residual content into an external container and dismantle the gun cup. With one hand open the
swing hatch (pos.5C fig.1), put the cup upside down on support (F), put the cup cover inside facing down on support (H), put dosing
stirrers and the gun filter on support (S) and position the containers on support (G).
Pull the spray gun trigger by means of hook (P) and insert the cone plug (Q) in the air inlet hole (see fig. PQ1-PQ2-PQ3) and insert
the spray gun into the support (Z).
Once you have completed these operations, close the door (pos. 5C fig.1) and enable the diaphragm pump, setting the timer on its
maximum position (pos. 14 fig. 1). At the end of the wash cycle the pump will stop automatically.

6.3 MANUAL WASHING OF THE GUN AND ACECSSORIES.
Once the automatic washing has been completed, open the swing hatch (pos.5C fig.1), take the washed pieces out on the grill top
(pos.6C fig.1). Continue with the final washing of the pieces with the nebulizer (pos. 22 fig. 1) enabled by the lever (pos. 18 fig. 1),
the small pump (pos. 21 fig. 1) enabled by the lever (pos. 19 fig. 1) and the brush (pos. 36 fig. 1) enabled by the lever (pos. 18C fig.
1) connected to the water mains of the company. Pull the spray gun trigger to be washed and blow with the gun (pos. 4 fig. 1) insi-
de the duct where the paint is conveyed. Externally, blow all over the spray-gun for the final drying cycle. At the end of each washing,
dry washed parts with a cloth.
6.4 COLOUR TESTS.
•Connect the spray gun to the air hose (pos.4 fig.1).
•With one hand open the swing hatch (pos. 5C fig.1).
•Put the sheet to be sprayed on the back of the grill top (pos. 6C fig.1).
•Open the valve (pos.17 fig.1) to exhaust vapours.
•Make the colour test by discontinuously spraying the paint.
WARNING
ENSURE that dirty paint water inside the sink (pos. 2 fig.1) does not exceed the
level of the grill top (pos. 6C fig.1).
7. SEPARATING THE PAINT FROM WATER.
Follow the instructions below:
•Remove the grill top (pos. 6C fig.1) from the sink, remove the hose (pos. 29S fig.1) with the filter (pos. 29F fig. 1) from the water
and place it next to the support (pos.G fig.3); pour the coagulating powder in the dirty paint water and stir manually with a stirrer
until the powder has been absorbed.
•Open and adjust the air flow regulator (pos. 1 fig.1), and avoid water overflowing from the sink. After 8÷10 minutes of stirring,
stop the flow and ensure that the paint is well coagulated. If this is not the case, repeat the procedure.
•Open again the regulator (pos. 1 fig.1) and, while water and coagulated paint are in motion, open the discharge valve (pos. 30
fig.1) and let all the content out in the prefilter bag (pos. 50 fig.1): proceed slowly to avoid any overflows.
•Open entirely the water regulating valve (pos. 23R fig.1), open the valve (pos. 18C fig.1) and use the brush (pos. 36 fig.1) to rinse
the washing sink (pos. 2 fig.1).
•After filtering water, put the prefilter with the sludge in an external container ready to have it collected by a water disposal com-
pany. The water in the container (pos. 53 fig.1) can be reused.
•Before starting to operate the Spray-gun washer, use the brush (pos. 36 fig.1) to pour approx. 10 litres of water in the washing
sink (pos. 2 fig.1) and approx. 30 litres in the container (pos. 53 fig1).
•Put filter (pos. 29F fig. 1) inside the washing sink (pos. 2 fig. 1).
•Re-position the grill top (pos. 6C fig.1).
N.B. : For an ideal coagulation, do not add water and paint with other products (ex. solvents, detergents, additives, etc) in
the washing sink (pos.2 fig.1)

9.1 OPERATION.
Incoming compressed air flows through filter (1), feeds valve (2) and ball valves (3-4), flow regulator (5), timer (6), throttling valve
(8) and blowing gun (24). When open, valve (2) feeds blowing nozzle (9). When open, valve (3), because of the Venturi effect, ena-
bles the small pump (10). When open, valve (4), because of the Venturi effect, enables atomiser (11); both suck clean water from
container (12). When running water is connected to fitting (13); valve (25) has been adjusted and valve (14) is open, water runs from
brush (15). Once the timer has been loaded, valve (6) feeds continuous motor (16) which generates the strokes to the diaphragm
pump (17) that sucks water from tank (18) and sprays it to the automatic washing (18). When flow regulator (5) is open, this feeds
mixer (20). When ball valve (21) opens, it discharges water and the coagulating powder into container (12).
