1 Description
The waxing gun ECCO 570 R is intended for anti-corrosive treatment inside cavities
of car bodies and has been developed to be used with water based wax.
To prevent irreversible wear to the parts of the gun, the use of corrosive or abrasive
materials should be avoided.
The release mechanism of the quick coupling is designed for one hand operation,
without changing grip.

4 Operators Instructions
High-pressure waxing guns used for spraying of liquids under high
pressure .

Use Ecco genuine parts and accessories only for best function and safety.

Never use higher air- or fluid-pressure than allowed.

Before starting, read through all instructions carefully.

Operating manual

4.1 Security

WARNING
The high velocity flow of material through hoses and nozzles may develop
static electricity. Be sure that the equipment, object being waxed, is
properly grounded to prevent static discharge or sparks. Check the
electrical resistance of the high pressure wax. The operator is normally connected to earth through the waxing gun.

WARNING
As the equipment works under very high pressure the utmost care must be
observed during the work. Bearing this in mind, never aim the spray gun at a
person or towards any part of the body (see Figure 2.1). In the event of
personal injury caused by the spraying pressure, immediate medical attention
is essential. Before carrying out any adjustment or repair, the equipment
must be switched off and the wax pressure relieved. The operator must use
ear- and eye protection (see fig 2.2) and suitable clothing.
If the gun does not work satisfactorily it must on no account be used. Repair
or replace it immediately.

WARNING
Be very careful when removing filter nut, valve nut or hose from the gun.
The pump must be switched off and wax pressure relieved.
A plugged high pressure hose contains fluid under high pressure. Loosen
retaining nut or hose coupling slightly and release pressure slowly before
removing it completely.

WARNING
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbons in coating application equipment
where aluminium or galvanized parts come in contact with the solvent or
coating material. Halogenated hydrocarbons e.g. 1,1,1-thrichloroethane and
methylene chloride react, violently with such parts, causing corrosion and
danger for explosion.

WARNING
Inhalation of wax, dust and solvent is not healthy. Make sure an approved
spraybooth is used. The operator must use personal protection-breathing
mask or fresh air hood.

4.2 Preventive maintenance

4.2.1 Filter check / cleaning / exchange
Important!
Before checking, cleaning or changing filter, make sure that wax pressure is relieved.
1. Check filter:
Use an 8 millimetre hex key to loosen the filter nut, then pull out the nut and filter, see
figure 3. Check the strainer, it shall be free from particles and whole. If necessary
clean the filter, see next item. Check the condition of the o-ring, it must be free from
any damage or wear. If not, change o-ring before reinstalling the filter. To avoid
excessive wear of the o-ring put some silicon free grease on it before assembling.
2. Cleaning filter:
Disassemble the filter, see previous item. Use a brush and solvent to clean the filter
and use compressed air to dry it clean. Check the o-ring like in previous item, before
re-assembling
3. Changing filter:
Disassemble the filter, see check filter. Replace the old filter by pulling it out from the
filter nut, take a new filter and push it into the filter nut. Check the o-ring like in the
previous item, before re-assembling.

4.2.2 Cleaning / Lubrication

1. Coder:
Clean the coder with a dry and clean rag, check the nipple, it shall not be worn or
damaged and must be free from burrs. If necessary replace the nipple for a new one.
2. Quick coupling:
Use a brush moistened with solvent to clean the quick coupling. Blow it dry with
compressed air. Check the quick coupling visually, if it is worn or damaged replace it
for a new one, see chapter 4.3.2, lubricate front part and locking sleeve with
lubrication oil, see figure 4.

3. Hose:
Clean the hose with a moistened rag, use naphtha or similar do not use stronger
solvent like xylen which can damage the rubber of the hose.

4. Quick coupling release mechanism:

Use a brush moistened with solvent to clean the release mechanism, do not use
more solvent then necessary. Dry the parts with a dry rag and compressed air
lubricate all moving parts with grease which has a high quality. Do not use lubricants
which contains silicon. Lubrication points marked in figure 5.

5. Gun overall:
When cleaning the gun use a rag moistened with solvent, finally clean the gun with a
dry and clean rag.

4.3 Curative maintenance

4.3.1 Wax leakage
Quick coupling:
If there is leakage between the gun and the quick coupling, make sure that the thread
of the quick coupling has been applied with glue, loctite 242 or similar.
If wax leak between quick coupling and the nipple, the quick coupling probably needs
to be replaced, see next item.
4.3.2 Replacing quick coupling
Disassembling:
Disassemble the lever (marked 4) in figure 6 by: unscrewing screw (number 2) at the
same time hold the support (number 3) still with a 5mm wrench. When disassembling
the 2 screws marked number 6, take care of the 2 distances (marked 5).
Pull back the lever rod as far as possible and unscrew the quick coupling (marked1)
with a 20mm wrench.
Assembling:
Apply glue, loctite 242 or similar, on the thread of the quick coupling before
assembling. Make sure the distances (5) are inserted in the lever and lubricated
before assembling the screw (6). Put a little glue, loctite 242 or weaker, on screw
number 2 and tighten gently with a hex key. Let the glue dry completely before using
the gun.

4.3.3 Material valve

If wax leak through the evacuation hole marked 7 in figure 7, material valve or piston
is leaking and need new o-rings, see next item.
4.3.4 Replacing o-rings

Disassemble the quick coupling (see chapter 4.3.2)

Disconnect the 7 wires of the coderboard (marked 1 in figure 7) from the
connector inside the handle
Unscrew the 2 screws (marked 2 in figure 7), pull the decoder housing (3) gently
and make sure the wires from the coderboard follows at the same time
Unscrew the valve nut (4) with the valve nut tool and pull out the injector (5) and
the pre orifice (6)
Blow gently with compressed air into the evacuation hole (7) , and at the same
time hold one hand in front of the gun and catch the material valve as it comes
out
Replace the 2 o-rings (8) on the material valve (9) and the one on the piston (10)
To avoid excessive wear, put grease on the o-rings before assembling
Assemble all parts in conversed order

4.3.5 Troubleshooting
Cycle will not start:
Check that the waxing tool is inserted properly in the quick coupling
Check the connection to the cabinet
If the trouble remains:
Check that the sensor is working
Check the gap (marked x in fig. 8) between the sensor and the spring support
The gap must be less than 0,5 mm but more than 0,1 mm, if it needs adjustment
loosen adjust-screw marked 1 (see fig. 8), adjust the gap and tighten the screw.
Press the trigger! If it is correct adjusted it shall now be connection between pole
1 and 2 on the connector marked 2 in fig. 8, check connection with a measuring
instrument.
If gap is correct but still no connection when trigger is pushed, sensor needs to be
replaced
Replace the sensor by unscrewing the adjust-screw, take a small screwdriver and
push in the release device (marked 3 in fig. 8) on the connector and gently pull
out one wire at the time. Assemble the new sensor and connect to the right poles
on the connector (se wiring diagram chapter 5 )
If the trouble still remain:
Check the cable to the cabinet so that there are no broken wires, use a
measuring instrument
