Operating a cleaning gun, such as a Tornador or similar pneumatic tool, involves several steps to ensure effective and efficient use. Here’s a general guide on how to operate a cleaning gun:

Preparing the Cleaning Gun

1. Connect Air Supply:

   • Attach the air hose from your air compressor to the cleaning gun. Use the appropriate quick connector or adapter that matches the gun’s fittings.
   • Ensure the connection is secure to prevent air leaks.

2. Fill the Liquid Reservoir:

   • Depending on the model, fill the liquid reservoir of the cleaning gun with the recommended cleaning solution or a mixture of water and detergent as specified by the manufacturer.
   • Avoid overfilling to prevent spills during operation.

Operating the Cleaning Gun

3. Adjust Air Pressure:

   • Adjust the air pressure on your compressor to the recommended range for the cleaning gun (typically between 60-90 PSI for Tornador guns).
   • Use an air regulator to fine-tune the pressure as needed for different cleaning tasks.

4. Activate the Gun:

   • Hold the cleaning gun securely and point it away from yourself and others.
   • Activate the trigger or switch on the cleaning gun to start the airflow and mixing action of the cleaning solution with air.

5. Directing the Spray:

   • Direct the spray onto the surface to be cleaned, maintaining a consistent distance to optimize cleaning efficiency.
   • Move the cleaning gun in a sweeping motion over the surface, ensuring thorough coverage.

6. Agitate if Necessary:

   • For stubborn dirt or stains, some models may allow for agitation using brush attachments or specialized nozzles.
   • Follow manufacturer instructions for using attachments or switching between cleaning modes if applicable.

After Use

7. Rinse and Wipe:

   • After cleaning, rinse the surface with clean water if required to remove any residual cleaning solution.
   • Use a clean cloth or towel to wipe the surface dry, ensuring a streak-free finish.

8. Maintenance:

   • Disconnect the cleaning gun from the air supply.
   • Clean the gun and attachments thoroughly according to manufacturer guidelines to remove any residue or buildup.
   • Store the cleaning gun in a dry and secure place to prevent damage and ensure longevity.

Safety Tips

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses, when operating a cleaning gun to protect against splashes or debris.
• Maintain stable footing and avoid overreaching to ensure control and prevent accidents.
• Follow all safety precautions and operational guidelines provided by the manufacturer for safe and effective use of your specific cleaning gun model.

By following these steps and safety tips, you can operate a cleaning gun efficiently while achieving optimal cleaning results for various surfaces and application.
