MOVING PARTS HAZARD

o reduce the risk of serious injury, includ- ing electric shock, DO NOT touch any

moving parts or electrical parts with your fingers or a tool while inspecting the repair.

Shut off the sprayer and unplug it as soon as you complete the inspection.

Reinstall all covers, gaskets, screws and washers before operating the sprayer.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of a pressure control malfunc- tion, be sure to properly mate connectors, and never pull on a wire to disconnect it. Pulling on a wire could loosen the connector from the wire.

1.When disconnecting wires in the junction box assembly, use needle nose pliers to separate mat- ing connectors.

2.When reconnecting the wires, be sure the flat blade of the insulated male connector is centered in the wrap–around blade of the female connector.

CAUTION

Improper wire routing can result in poor sprayer performance or damage to the pressure control.

3.Route wires carefully through the drive housing and motor. Avoid pinching the wires between the junction box and the motor or pressure control.

4.Keep all screws, nuts, washers, gaskets, and electrical fittings removed during repair proce- dures. These parts are not normally provided with replacement assemblies.

5.Test your repair before regular operation to be sure the problem is corrected.

6.If the sprayer does not operate properly, verify that everything was done correctly. Also refer to the Troubleshooting Guide, pages 14–18, to help identify other possible problems and solutions.
