NOTE: The air supply for the SM233 must be equipped with a
regulator, filter/separator and oiler in order to ensure safe
operation and to prolong the life of the product. These items are
not supplied and must be purchased separately.
Consult your local Sealey dealer for a suitable product.
For recommended hook-up, see diagram below.
4.1.Ensure that the pump air valve and air inlet ball valve are closed
before connecting the air supply. See fig.3.
4.2.An air pressure of 40-60psi, and an available air volume of
2 - 4cfm will be required to operate the unit.
!WARNING! Ensure air supply is clean and does not exceed
60psi. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will
shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be
dangerous, causing possible damage and personal injury.
4.3.Drain the air supply tank daily. Water in the air line will damage
the unit.
4.4.Clean the air supply filter weekly.
4.5.Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually
long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose internal
diameter should be 10mm and fittings must have the same
internal dimension.
4.6.Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for
wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.7.The air inlet connection is 1/4”NPT.
4. AIR SUPPLY
HOOK-UP
3. ASSEMBLY
Refer to fig.4.
3.1.Attach legs to the cabinet with the screws, washers and nuts
provided . Fit drain valve to base of tank.
Fully enclosed, corrosion resistant tank suitable for containing
water and detergent necessary for cleaning spray guns using
water-based paint. Powerful and reliable diaphragm pump system
washes up to two guns simultaneously. Semi automatic operation.
!WARNING! Ensure you follow the safety instructions.
Wear approved safety gloves, goggles, mask, and
suitable clothing.

5.1. PREPARING TANK & ITEMS FOR CLEANING (See fig.3)
5.1.2. Ensure tank drain valve is closed and then pour solvent into
tank. Ensure final level is at least 25mm above pump suction
strainer.
5.1.3. Confirm that the pump air valve is closed and air supply
pressure is regulated to not more than 60psi. Turn on air
supply at air inlet ball valve.
5.1.4. Partially open pump air valve and allow pump to run slowly for
approx. 2 minutes to purge fluid used for manufacturer’s tests.
Note: Always operate with lid closed.
5.1.5. Check the spray gun to be cleaned, empty and store any
excess paint for future use. For best results clean immediately
after use, having removed as much residual paint as possible.
5.1.6. To open the spray gun for cleaning, squeeze trigger and fit
trigger lock as shown in fig.2.
5.1.7. Two gun supports are provided, one short (see fig.1A) and one
long (see fig.1B). Use whichever support suits the configuration
of the gun to be cleaned. In general, guns which have top
entry paint inlets (e.g gravity feed) can be put on either support
provided they do not foul on the underside of the lid. Guns
which have bottom entry paint inlets (e.g suction feed) will
usually go onto the longer support. If required the extension on
the long support can be removed to give two short supports.
5.1.8. For pressure fed guns up to 2ltr capacity place the syphon stem
of the pot cover over the short support and position the gun
and hoses on the screen platform. Over this capacity disconnect
the gun from the lines and place on the long support.
5.1.9. Place pots over nozzles ‘C’ (fig.1 - Mesh screen omitted for clarity).
5.2. CLEANING
5.2.1. Ensure washer lid is closed and then fully open pump air valve.
The pump will now operate and expel an atomized spray through
the nozzles in the cleaning tank.
5.2.2. Cleaning will be complete after 60 seconds, at which time pump
should be turned off by closing the pump air valve. Do not operate
pump for longer than 2 minutes at any one time as this will
reduce seal life.
5.2.3 When cleaning is complete turn the air inlet ball valve off.
5.2.4. Open lid and remove cleaned equipment.
NOTE:If, during cleaning, lid is inadvertently opened, the cleaning
process will automatically stop. Close lid for cleaning to continue.
DO NOT store guns in tank.
