1. Remove the two screws in front and back.
NOTE
Needle, needle packing and piston must only be
lubricated with grease AGMD-010. Any other grease
can lead to gun failure (needle packing and piston
might swell if improper grease is being used).
Once the gun has been disconnected from the adapter

and has been replaced by a spare gun, the spraying
operation can be continued, and the disconnected gun
can be serviced at a suitable place.
2. Turn gun by 45° counter-clockwise and pull off upward.

For disassembly the following steps have to

be followed:
1. Connect the gun to be serviced onto a test adapter.

Apply cylinder air with 6 bar pressure to the needle,
this retracts the needle toward the springs and
relieves the tip.
! CAUTION
In order to protect the gun head from damages it
is important that pressure air (min. 6 bar) is applied to
the cylinder air during the disassembly of the air cap
and tip.
2. Disassembly with tip wrench AEMD-101.

2. Loosen the retaining ring and remove the air cap.
3. Only exchange the tip by hand or use the tip wrench

AEMD-101. It can be loosened by a light pressure
and a 1/4-turn counter clockwise. (See Pictures).
3 Disassembly with fingers.
1. Apply pressure of 6 bar to the gun.

disassembly. It will be destroyed at disassembly
(see picture). NOTE
An electrical contact must exist between cap
screw and contact wire. Check continuity with a
multimeter.
Cleaning and Examination of Gun Parts
After disassembly clean the gun parts at first and then

check for proper condition.
Cleaning of Parts
NOTE
1. Insert screw driver.
The kind of contamination of the gun parts might
give an indication of the gun failure mode.
For regular cleaning procedures the following tools

are needed:
• Suitable solvent
• Grounded solvent supply
• A brush with soft bristles
• Some pipe-cleaners
Clean the contaminated gun parts with a soft brush and

suitable solvent and blow dry. Clean the air and fluid bores
with a solvent soaked pipe-cleaner.
2. Force flat blade screw driver with light blows of the hammer
into needle packing.
NOTE
Do not soak the gun parts in solvent but wipe
them clean with a brush or a solvent dampened cloth.
For safe and trouble-free operation keep the exterior

surface of the gun clean and free of paint residues and
dirt. This is to prevent current leakage to ground and
reduction of the electrostatic effect. Contamination at the
opening of the air cap will cause a reduction of atomizing
quality. Clean the air cap as often as necessary with a soft
brush and solvent in order to obtain optimum atomization.
3. Unscrew faulty needle packing.

10.3.2 Examination of Parts 2. Insert the contact wire into the bores and secure
with light blows of the hammer.
Prior to assembly of the gun all gun parts must be checked.
Faulty components must be replaced.
! CAUTION
Never install faulty components into the gun
and only use genuine Ransburg spare parts!
Assembly of the EstaQuick AEMD-600
