5. General handling of the heating hose
The heating hose is to be handled carefully. Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the hose; the smallest
bending radius is around 20 cm. Hoses measuring less than 15 m in length and with a cross section below
3/8" should not be connected to STORCH airless units from the LP and SL series. Do not run over the hea-
ting hose and protect it from sharp objects and edges.
Risk of injury from a leaking hose. Replace damaged hoses immediately. Never repair a defective hose!
The hose cannot be disconnected from the hose reel or controller housing in the same way as an ordinary
hose. Do not open this screw connection.
Always unroll heating hoses completely.
When working on scaffolding guide the heating hose along the outside of the scaffolding.
6. Interruption of work
During prolonged breaks from work relieve the pressure on the airless unit and switch off the heater.
When using quick-drying or two-component coating material it is essential that the unit is flushed with a
suitable cleaning agent within the processing time/open time of the material, otherwise it could result in
damage to the unit or require significant expense for cleaning.
7. Cleaning the unit
Cleanliness is the best guarantee for trouble-free operation. Under no circumstances should any material
residues be allowed to dry and set in the unit. When the spraying process has been completed flush the unit
using a suitable solvent (with a flash point above 21°C) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
