2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION

The SM24/1A is a compact unit suitable for small to medium sized body shop use. The tank is robustly manufactured and delivers sufficient

solvent to clean one gun and pot in each washing cycle. The air supply is automatically cut off when the lid is opened.

NOTE: The air supply for the SM23/2 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 air valve (20) is closed before connecting the air supply.

4.2. An air pressure of 1.5-3.5 bar (20-50psi), and an available air volume of 1cfm will be required to operate the unit.

!WARNING! Ensure air supply is clean and does not exceed 5 bar(70psi). 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”BSP.

3. ASSEMBLY

Note: Item numbers in brackets are those in the attached Parts Diagram. Instructions should be read in conjunction with this diagram.

3.1. Attach legs to cabinet with screws (63) and nuts (65) provided and fit drain valve (66) to base of tank (2).

!WARNING! Ensure you follow the safety instructions. Wear approved safety gloves, goggles, mask, and suitable clothing.

!WARNING! Before using the washer always touch a suitable earthing point to dissipate any electrostatic charge you may have.

5.1. PREPARING TANK & ITEMS FOR CLEANING

5.1.1. Ensure tank drain valve (66) is closed and then pour solvent into tank (2). To aid future sludge removal approximately 2 litres of water may be

added, either before or after the solvent. Ensure final level is at least 1 inch (25mm) above pump suction strainer (59).

5.1.2. Confirm air valve (20) is closed and air supply pressure is regulated to not more than 3.5 bar (50psi). Turn on air supply.

5.1.3. Partially open air valve (20) and allow pump to run slowly for approx. 2 minutes to purge fluid used for manufacturer’s tests.

Note: Lid (1) must be closed for pump to operate.

5.1.4. 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.

5.1.5. To open the spray gun for cleaning, Squeeze trigger and fit trigger lock (56) as shown in fig.1.

5.1.6. Gun cleaning nozzle (8) may be fitted directly to manifold (6) without items (9) and (10) - ‘short nozzle’, or with items (9) and (10) - ‘long nozzle’.

Place the spray gun into the washer as follows:

a) Suction gun - fit suction stem over short nozzle.

b) Gravity gun - fit paint inlet over long nozzle.

c) Pressure gun - 2 litre - fit paint inlet over short nozzle.

- exceeding 2 litre - fit paint inlet over long nozzle.

Place pot over nozzle ‘A’ (fig.2 - Screen (11) omitted for clarity).

5.2. CLEANING

5.2.1. Ensure washer lid is closed and then fully open pump air valve (20).

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 45 seconds, at which time pump should be turned off by closing air valve (20).

Do not operate pump for longer than 2 minutes at any one time as this will reduce seal life.

5.2.3. Open lid and remove cleaned equipment.

NOTE: If, during cleaning, lid is opened, cleaning process will automatically stop. Close lid for cleaning to continue. DO NOT store guns in tank.

6. SOLVENT CHANGE & MAINTENANCE

!WARNING! It is operator’s responsibility to ensure that there is no uncontrolled discharge of any fluids used with this unit and that

appropriate arrangements have been made for correct disposal of waste in accordance with government/local authority regulations.

!WARNING! Disconnect the air supply from the unit before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.

!WARNING! Wear approved safety gloves, goggles, mask and suitable clothing.

6.1. SOLVENT REPLACEMENT

The number of guns the solvent can clean will depend upon the amount of residual paint which is left in spray equipment. We recommend however

that the solvent is changed on a regular basis to provide optimum cleaning performance and that paint sludge is removed weekly, as detailed below.

6.1.1. Sludge removal

a) No water added - Drain 2 litres of solvent/sludge from drain valve (66). Close valve and add clean solvent to tank to

bring level up to at least 25mm above strainer.

b) Water added - Drain water until it becomes discoloured, close drain valve. Change to ‘dirty solvent’ receptacle, re-open

drain valve and drain 2 litres of solvent/sludge. Close valve, replace water in tank and then add clean solvent to

bring level up to at least 25mm above strainer.

6.1.2. Solvent change

Completely drain dirty solvent as in 6.1.1. Clean inside of tank (2) and strainer (59) before refilling with clean solvent.

Store the used solvent in accordance with regulations.

Wipe up any spillage immediately.

6.2. MAINTENANCE

6.2.1. Weekly, remove pump upper cap (45) and add grease.

6.2.2. Regularly check that opening the washer lid automatically stops the spray.

6.2.3. Regularly check and top up the oil in the air supply oiler.

6.2.4. Keep the outside of the unit clean.
