Maintenance
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually relieved to prevent the system from starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid
under high pressure can be injected through the skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you:
Dare instructed to relieve the pressure,
Dstop spraying,
Dcheck or service any of the system equipment,
Dor install or clean the spray tip.
Pressure Relief Procedure
1.Lock gun trigger safety.
2.Turn engine ON/OFF switch to OFF.
3.Move pump switch to OFF and turn pressure control knob fully counterclockwise.
4.Unlock trigger safety. Hold metal part of gun firmly to side of grounded metal pail, and trigger gun to relieve pressure.
5.Lock gun trigger safety.
6.Open pressure drain valve. Leave valve open until ready to spray again.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after following the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear tip or hose.
