Cleaning
The biggest single cause for premature failure of the TB500 is as a result of
insufficient or non cleaning of the pump and spray gun. If the following
steps are taken then the unit will provide years of trouble free maintenance
If the unit is to be inactive for any period of time (2 or more days) or at
least once a month the unit should be flushed in the following manner.
Do not use paint strippers as this will harm system. Do not allow the unit
to lay on it’s side while
, as this can allow adhesive to leak out of the bucket.
NOTE : Wet adhesive can be washed off the system using hot water.
Should it be allowed to dry, then an adhesive remover such as TB-AR will
have to be used
5.0 Once a day, at the end of the shift, the nozzle on the spray gun
should be wiped clean of adhesive using TEKBOND TB-AR
adhesive remover. Special care should be taken to ensure that the
small air holes are not blocked as the will effect the atomization of
the adhesive. If they are heavily clogged with adhesive then the
nozzle should be removed and allowed to soak in TB-AR remover.
5.1 Once a month or as needed the system should be flushed. This
is very simple. Remove the pump from the bucket. Wipe the tube
off with a rag soaked in warm water or with TB-AR.
5.2 Place approx. 1 qt of warm water in the cleaning bucket.
5.3 Trigger the gun and allow water to flow into a container until
it flows clear.
5.4 Remove water, and repeat with TBAR or De-natured Alcohol
Then clean fluid nozzle (591-01) and air cap (591-02). If any dirt
appears in orifice' clean with tooth pick; wire will damage nozzle.
