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 pressurised 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.

• Check level and condition of ISO lube
• Check the TSL bottle level and condemnation.
• On ‘B’ pump:
  • Check felt washers
  • Check packing nut/wet cup
  • Keep saturated with TSL
  • Add TSL as needed
• Check fluid inlet and filter screens
• Visually check pump throat seals for external leakage and replace as necessary.

• Apply fusion grease after spraying
• Check and clean inlet filters

• Look for exposed wires

Transfer pumps

• Manually lubricate the motor (if not using an air line lubricator)

• Manually lubricate the motor (if not using an air line lubricator)

• Check oil level (hydraulic Reactor)
• Check the TSL bottle level and condemnation.
• Apply Fusion shot grease to A and B circulation valves

Gun

• Check and clean check valves

• Perform a pump stall check to verify internal pump seals
• Check that all fans are operating in the electrical cabinet and motor
• Verify all electrical wiring is firmly secured to breakers and circuit boards
• Check the TSL bottle level and condemnation.

Gun

• Clean exhaust muffler (AP and CS)

Heated hoses

• Look for hose connection leaks
• Check for cracked or broken electrical connectors
• Verify all electrical connections are secure

• Change oil and filter (hydraulic reactor)
  

• Replace seals in the pump and motor as necessary

• Replace the ISO lube
• Check the TSL bottle level and condemnation

• Clean mix chamber inpingement ports
• Check for scratches on side seals and mix chamber when symptoms occur

• Repair sections of the hose and damaged or worn insulation
