Conair Water/Spray Tanks Replacing Gaskets, Lubricating Tank Components, Cleaning Tank Spray Bars

To replace an end gasket:

1 Remove the retaining rings. Loosen the wing nuts and lift off the ring that holds the gasket in place.

2 Remove the damaged gasket and slide a new gasket over the studs. No sealant is required.

3 Reassemble. Slip the retaining ring over the studs to cover the gasket. Tighten the wing nuts.

REPLACING GASKETS

Normal operation of the WT/ST tank creates many wet sur- faces. We recommend generous monthly lubrication of any threaded or sliding components involved in positioning the tank. Those components include the positioning mechanisms such as the up/down vertical support shafts, side-to-side cross thread, and the linear actuator. You may need to lubricate more often than monthly.

1 Lubricate the vertical support shaft and grease fittings. Apply bearing compound to the fit- tings until it overflows. Apply a coating of the compound to the shafts as well.

2 Lubricate the side-to-side cross thread grease fittings. Apply bearing compound to the fittings until it overflows. Apply a coating of the compound to the thread as well.

The tank, spray bars and optional recirculation reservoir should be thoroughly to remove particles that can accumulate.

1	Drain the tank and reservoir.
2	Wipe surfaces thoroughly to remove particles.

3 Remove the spray bars. Twist each spray bar coun- terclockwise and pull it out.

4 Clean the spray bars. Flush each bar with a compressed air line or water hose. Use a soft brush to remove any particles clogging the small holes.
