Preface Warning instructions 1.2.1 Warning instructions on the unit Warning signs and symbols which have been placed on the machine are there to inform of possible dangers and must be observed. Warning signs and symbols may not be removed from the machine. Damaged and illegible warning signs and symbols are to be replaced immediately.
Preface Danger caused by attachments and spare parts If you use original attachments and original spare parts from Wilhelm Wagner GmbH & Co. KG, the compatibility with our equipment is guaranteed. It is, however, essential that the safety regulations of the attachments and spare parts are observed. You can find these safety regulations in the user’s handbook located with the spare parts lists.
Safety Safety Description of symbols The signs and symbols used in this manual have the following meaning: NOTE Marks a section of text which is especially relevant to safety. Special attention should be paid to this section and it‘s contents strictly observed! WARNING Marks a situation which could be dangerous.
Safety Sources of danger Always remember, plural component systems operate at very high pressure levels and unauthorized usage could lead to life-threatening injuries. Observe and adhere to all instructions found in the user‘s handbooks for optional acces- sories. Pay close attention to the chapter “Safety” found in the separate user’s manuals. Pay attention to the following notes: Danger when spraying Never point the spray gun* towards yourself, other people or other living creatures!

Safety Danger to the unit A change of the mixing ratio may have the consequence of the change of the pres- ➤ sure ratio and a required change of the maximum allowed compressed air pressure. The installed safety valve must be changed. In this case you get from exchangeable nameplate with the new now valid data of the 2K-unit.
Safety If you use thinner in the material hoses (e.g. for the complete cleaning) all connected ➤ material heaters must be turned off. Complete cleaning may only be done when the unit has cooled. DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Smoking, open flames or any other possible ignition sources are not allowed any- ➤...
Safety Protective equipment All units are delivered with the following protective equipment: Safety valve (picture 2.4) The safety valve prevents the maximum admissible entry air pressure from being ex- ceeded. In the event that the fixed maximum entry air pressure setting is surpassed, the safety valve blows open.
Safety Check list for inspecting the protection features when the unit is in a depressur- ized state Inspect the safety valve leading or seal for damage. ➤ Inspect the safety valve for visible damage. ➤ Inspect the grounding cable for damage. ➤...
Safety Behavior in case of emergency Leaks If leaks occur in the system, it must be shut down immediately and the entire system has to be depressurized: Interrupt the compressed air supply with the main tap lock and the pressure regulator. ➤...
About the machine About the machine Use of the machine DUOMIX allows application of environmentally friendly coatings on to surfaces with a minimum of solvent. This 2K-unit has been designed to meet the special requirements (paint to be sprayed, mixing ratio, volumes etc.). The precise dosing is given by the fixed mixing ratio.
About the machine Machine surroundings Emissions It is possible for solvent vapors to occur, depending on the materials used. Therefore, please ensure the workplace is sufficiently ventilated in order to avoid damage to health and property. Always observe the processing information given by the material manufac- turer.
About the machine Installation site DUOMIX can be installed inside or outside of spraying chamber and spray booth. An outside installation is preferable to avoid pollution. Safety measures at installation site: The system must have a fixed position and sufficient space to ensure safe operating. ➤...

Assembly and Setting up Check maximum pressure Please check the permissible maximum pressure for the material hose and spray gun*. It must be greater than or equal to the maximum operational pressure for the system, which is shown on the type plate on the high pressure pump or on the machine card. Compare the maximum operating pressure of the safety valve with the information on the machine card or the type plate.
Commissioning Commissioning To avoid unnecessary work interruption, take absolute care that the containers/drums are not running dry thereby causing the pump to suck air. If this does happen, the system switches off automatically. In this case, bleed the system Base component thoroughly and start again from the beginning.
