Preventive Maintenance

Schedule

The operating conditions of your system determine how often maintenance is required. Establish a preventive maintenance schedule by recording when and what kind of maintenance is needed, and then determine a regular schedule for checking your system.

Pressure Relief Procedure

Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpect- edly, which could result in serious injury from skin injection or moving parts.

Do not lift or move motor while pressurized.

1.Engage the trigger lock.

2.Close the bleed-type master valve.

3.Disengage the trigger lock.

4.Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a grounded metal pail. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.

5.Engage the trigger lock.

6.Open all fluid drain valves in the system, having a waste container ready to catch drainage. Leave drain valve(s) open until you are ready to spray again.

7.If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or that pressure has not been fully relieved after follow- ing the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Clear hose or tip obstruction.
