What maintenance is needed on my Reactor, and when?

The operating conditions of your particular system determine how often maintenance is required. By using our preventive maintenance schedule, you know what maintenance your machine needs on at least a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis.

IMPORTANT: Relieve pressure before maintenance.

All Reactor equipment remains pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury such as skin injection from pressurized fluid, splashing fluid, and moving parts, follow the pressure relief procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.

Pressure Relief Procedure:

Before performing any maintenance procedures, follow these steps.

1. Stop the pumps.
2. Turn off all heat zones.
3. Turn off the air supply to the feed pumps and agitator.
4. Relieve the pressure in the gun and perform the gun shutdown procedure (as explained in the gun manual).
5. Engage the gun piston safety lock.
6. Close the gun fluid inlet valves A and B.
7. Route the fluid to waste containers or supply tanks. Turn the pressure relief/spray valves to pressure relief/circulation
8. Close pump inlet supply valves.
9. When the gauges drop to 0, you can start your daily, weekly, monthly, or annual maintenance.

Daily Maintenace

Proportioner

• Check level and condition of ISO lube
