INTRODUCTION
Uni-ram holds many patents on designs used in its innovative products. Every machine is tested
for compliance with Quality Assurance standards. Follow the directions in this manual under Setup,
Operation and Maintenance in order to operate this machine safely and effectively. Not following these
instruction can lead to malfunction or damage to the machine. Follow directions under the section
below, Cautions and Warnings and on labels attached to the machine. Ensure that the manual is read-
ily available to the operator at all times. If you have any questions about the operation of this machine,
call your distributor or a Uni-ram Service Engineer:
North America: Uni-ram Technical Service 1-800-417- 9133
Other Continents: Contact Your Supplier

SETUP
INSPECTION AND ASSEMBLY
• Report any transport damage immediately to the carrier and your vendor. Initiate a freight claim with
the carrier. The manufacturer is not responsible for freight damage.
• Remove the machine from the carton by opening the bottom flaps and sliding the carton up over the
machine.
• Make sure the bag of accessories contains the following:
• Manual
• Kit-Plug, Guns w. Trigger Lock Springs, 2 pieces (Part No. 140-2340)
• Nozzle Adapters:
110-430 Push-on, conventional systems only
110-430PPS Push-on, disposable cup or conventional systems

Note: Adapter #780-3530 is installed for use with disposable cup system only
If any item is missing, contact your supplier.
GROUND WIRE INSTALLATION
• For safety, two ground wires are provided to discharge static electricity. One is already installed be-
tween the the body and the Suction Pipe.The other must be attached at one end to the outside of the
body (the screw near the Air Input is recommended) and, at the other end, to an external grounded
object (see page 4).

DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT UNLESS BOTH GROUND WIRES ARE SECURELY CONNECTED

LOCATION
Position in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, heat and open flames.
LEVELING, MOISTURE FILTER AND AIR SUPPLY
• Level the machine using the adjustable feet.
• Remove the cover on the "Air Input" (right side of machine) and, to ensure that the air supply is clean
and dry, attach an Airline Filter (not supplied).
• Attach an air supply adapter (not supplied) to the Airline Filter.
The air supply pressure must be at least 85 PSI and
the air must be free from contaminants such as water, dust, rust, tar, grease etc.
To prevent damage to the Diaphragm Pump an internal Air Pressure Regulator has been installed to
limit the air pressure to precisely 85 PSI. Do not install a second air pressure regulator or use a pres-
sure set below 85 PSI.
See the section, Daily Maintenance, for proper maintenance of the Air Filter Assembly.
SOLVENT SELECTION
The adhesion quality of automotive paint has dramatically improved in recent years. The choice of sol-

 MANUAL - UG110 SERIES GUN CLEANERS REVISED 2020-06

vent is critical. Only use good quality solvent that is formulated for your paint and intended for use with
automatic spray guns cleaners.

SOLVENT PAIL SETUP

• Close the Drain Valve under the unit (handle in horizontal position) if it is not already closed.
• Place a 5-Gal (19 L) pail of solvent under the unit and insert the Suction Tube and the Drain Tube.
• Open the Drain Valve (handle in vertical position).

OPERATION
PRE - CLEAN
• Disconnect the spray gun from the air hose. Pour paint from the cup (when present) into a 5 gallon
pail (not supplied).
• Rinse cup with solvent and pour into the same 5 gallon pail for later disposal or recycling.
CLEANING SPRAY GUNS AND CUPS
• Loosen the air cap of the spray gun two full turns.
• Lock the trigger in the open position with the Trigger Lock Spring.
• Plug air inlet of spray gun with cap to prevent solvent from entering passage. Caps are supplied in the
accessory kit.
• Place spray guns facing corner jets. Placement depends on type of spray gun (see below). Place cups
onto the low spray jets and cup holders.
• Close the lid and turn the “Auto Wash Timer” knob clockwise to start cleaning. The cleaning cycle
takes about 60 seconds

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
Note: Pumps shown are 4" Pumps; follow same procedures for 2" Pumps.

PROCEDURE 1
Blocked Fluid Passage In Diaphagm Pump
If the pump sounds like it is working but liquid does not flow, clear
the fluid passage as follows:
• Remove suction tube from the pail and blow air at 60 PSI into
the INLET Sovent Hose (see diagram). Step on foot pedal.
This procedure may have to be repeated several times. If this
procedure does not help, blow some water into the suction
hose using a spray gun, wait one minute and step on foot
pedal. This procedure may have to be repeated several times.
If this procedure does not work, the pump must be replaced.
If you need to replace the pump call your local dealer. The warranty
on the diaphragm pump is two years from date of purchase.

This procedure will also clear a blockage in the fluid line for
the wash gun.

PROCEDURE 2
Blocked Air Passage In Diaphragm Pump
If there is a steady hissing sound and the pump is not cycling, the
spool valve has stalled due to a blocked air passage. Follow the pro-
cedure below to clear the blockage.

• Connect a blow gun to an 60 PSI source. Locate the blue hose

that extends from the air exhaust port of the diaphragm pump.
Use a blow gun to blow air into the open end of this hose. Turn
timer. If the procedure is successful, the pump will start work-
ing. The procedure may have to be repeated several times. If
this procedure does not work, replace the pump.
• Cause: Contaminants in the air supply (water, oil, solid par-
ticles etc)
• Preventative Action: If necessary, install an Airline (Moisture) Filter.

PROCEDURE 3
Blocked Passage in Air Line
The components in the air line are the diaphragm pump, air valve and regulator.

To troubleshoot a component:
1) Disconnect the air line to the component using the quick disconnect.
2) Step on foot pedal and check for presence of positive air pressure in the air line. If there is ample
positive air pressure, replace the component.

If air pressure is absent, there is a faulty component upstream. Reconnect the air line and check the
operation of the next component upstream by following steps 1 and 2 above.
