SETUP
INSPECTION
•Report any transport damage immediately to the carrier and your vendor. Initiate a freight claim with
the carrier. The manufacturer is not responsible for freight damage.
• Accessories:
• Manual • Coag-Kleen FP, flocculant granules (WF Model only)
• Air Blow Gun • Aqua-Kleen Cleaner
• Whip LIne Coupler
PLACEMENT AND AIR SUPPLY
• Mount the unit to a wall (hardware not included) in a Spray Booth or another convenient location in
the shop.
• Remove the cover on the "Air Input" (right side of machine) and attach an air supply adapter (not sup-
plied).
• Remove the Air Blow Gun from the acessories bag and place it onto the bracket on the right side of
the unit. Connect the air supply tube (blue) to the Air Blow Gun Fitting by inserting the tube. To dis-
connect the tube, push down on the collar and pull the tube out.
UM80W, WF and WA (Water) Models
• Attach the Whip Line Coupler to the orange line on the left side of machine and to your spray gun using
a a quick connect fitting (not supplied) on the Spray Gun.
UM80S (Solvent) Model

the collar and pull the tube out.
CAUTION
• The air supply must be free from contaminants such as water, dust, rust, tar, grease etc.
• To prevent damage to the Diaphragm Pump an internal Air Pressure Regulator has been installed to
limit the air pressure. The pressure must be maintained at 60 PSI for waterborne units and 85 PSI for
the UM80S. Do not install a second air pressure regulator.
PAIL SETUP and ADDITION OF UNI-RAM AQUA-KLEEN
Aqua-Kleen is a state-of-the-art cleaning additive with an enhanced corrosion inhibitor for optimal protec-
tion of spray guns.

• Insert the suction tubes (thin) into this container.
• Insert the drain tube (thick) into the other, empty, container.
• Place both containers under the unit.
UM80WF
• Move the Drain Valve handle located under the cleaning tank to the "closed" (horizontal) position if it
is not already there.
• Move the pail outside the unit. Remove the two filters. Pour half of a bottle of Uni-ram Aqua Kleen
into the pail and add tap water until the combined liquid level reaches the bottom of the filter holder.
Replace filters.
• Insert the manual wash suction tubes into the pail between the Filter Holder and the wall of the pail.
Move the pail into the cabinet.
UM80S
One 5-litre bottle-type container is included with the unit.
• Fill the pail with clean solvent and insert the suction tubes (thin) and drain tube (thick) into it.
• Place the pail under the unit.
• Replace the dirty solvent with clean solvent when needed.
CLEANING SELECTOR KNOB
Position the long arm of the selector knob in the verticle position and pointing down. This is the off
position. When flow through the nozzle is required point the long arm of the selector arm to the right.
When flow through the brush is required point the long arm of the selector arm to the left.
CLEANING SPRAY GUNS
UM80W / WF/ A
•Connect the spray gun to the whip air line or leave the spray gun connected to the main air supply
line.
• Interior Cleaning - To clean the paint channel, press the opening of the paint channel against the
Cleaning Nozzle, turn the long arm of the Selector Knob to the right and then squeeze the trigger.
Hold the gun in this position for about 15 seconds while moving the gun up and down on the nozzle
several times to improve the cleaning of the paint channel opening. When finished, turn the Selector
Knob to the CLOSED position (long arm of the Selector Knob is pointing down) then remove the gun.

• Clean the Cap by rubbing it on the Flat Brush mounted on the inside of the tank.
• Exterior Cleaning - Clean the exterior of the gun with the Flow-through brush. Activate the flow of liq-
uid through the Brush by turning the long arm of the Selector Knob to the left to the Brush position.
When finished, turn it to the closed position.
UM80S
The S model does not have a whip line. Follow the procedure above starting with Interior Cleaning
UM80W / WF / A
• Dry Spray Gun: Use the Air Blow Gun to dry the outside of the spray gun. To dry the paint channel,
squeeze the trigger of the spray gun.
• Flow Control: To adjust the flow of water through the Nozzle, use the control on the right side. The
controls are pre-set at the factory - change only if necessary. To increase the flow, loosen the nut,
then turn the knob to the left. To reduce the flow loosen the nut, turn the knob to the right.
UM80S
• Dry Spray Gun: Use the Air Blow Gun to dry the paint channel and the outside of the spray gun.
• Flow Control: The "S" model has a flow control for the Nozzle and Brush on the right side of the unit.
The controls are pre-set at the factory - change only if necessary. To increase the flow, loosen the
nut, then turn the knob to the left. To reduce the flow loosen the nut, turn the knob to the right.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE GUNS ARE COMPLETELY DRY AFTER USE
FLOCCULATION (WF Model Only)
The dirty water from cleaning accumulates in the flocculation reservoir during use. When the Wash Pail is
empty follow these steps to treat the water for re-use:
• Remove the Screen at the bottom of the work area and sprinkle 1 full scoop of the flocculant,
COAG-KLEEN, evenly over the dirty water. Replace the screen and turn the Flocculation Timer
fully to the 5 minute position. When the Timer is finished wait one minute and then turn the timer a
second time to the one minute mark. Note: As the flocculation proceeds, the water should become
clear. The debris consisting of paint absorbed into the flocculant will collect in the filters during the
next step.
• To allow the water-flocculant mixture to flow into filters, open the Flocculation Drain valve.
• Clean the tank with the Brush.
• Close the Flocculation Drain valve (horizontal position).
• Ensure that the Air Agitator in the bottom of the tank lies flat.
• Leave the two filters containing the debris in place until the next day to allow for them to dry
throughly. When the debris is dry, it should have an "oatmeal like" consistency. The debris can now
be disposed of according to local environmental regulations.
• If the filtered water is not clean, see the Troubleshooting section.
• The treated water can be reused until it becomes "silky" to the touch and then it should be dis-
posed of according to local environmental regulations. When adding fresh water, refill until the
water reaches the bottom of the filter holder.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
PROCEDURE 1
Blocked Fluid Passage In Diaphagm Pump
If the pump sounds like it is working but liquid does not flow, clear the
fluid passage as follows:
• Remove suction tube from the pail and blow air at 60 PSI into the
INLET Sovent Hose (see diagram). Start the pump. This procedure
may have to be repeated several times. If this procedure does not
help, blow some water into the suction hose using a spray gun, wait
one minute and start the pump. This procedure may have to be
repeated several times. If this procedure does not work, the pump
must be replaced.
If you need to replace the pump call your local dealer. The warranty on
the diaphragm pump is two years from date of purchase.
This procedure will also clear a blockage in the fluid line for the wash gun.
PROCEDURE 2
Blocked Air Passage In Diaphragm Pump
If there is a steady hissing sound and the pump is not cycling, the spool
valve has stalled due to a blocked air passage. Follow the procedure
below to clear the blockage.
• Connect a blow gun to an 60 PSI source. Locate the blue hose that
extends from the air exhaust port of the diaphragm pump. Use a
blow gun to blow air into the open end of this hose. Start pump. If
the procedure is successful, the pump will start working. The proce-
dure may have to be repeated several times. If this procedure does
not work, replace the pump.
• Cause: Contaminants in the air supply (water, oil, solid particles etc)
• Preventative Action: If necessary, install an Airline (Moisture) Filter.
PROCEDURE 3
Blocked Passage in Air Line
The components in the air line are the 1) diaphragm pump, 2) air valve and 3)regulator.
To troubleshoot a component:
1) Disconnect the air line to the first component using the quick disconnect.
2) Start the pump and check for presence of positive air pressure in the air line. If there is ample posi-
tive air pressure, replace the component.
If air pressure is absent, there is a faulty component down stream. Reconnect the air line and check
the operation of the next component downstream by following steps 1 and 2 above.
