Pressure Control Adjustment

WARNING

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN PERFORMING THIS ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE to reduce the risk of a fluid injection injury or other serious bodily injury, which can result from component rupture, electric shock, fire, explosion or moving parts.

This procedure sets the sprayer to 2750 psi (190 bar)

MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE.

Perform this procedure whenever the microswitch or pressure control assembly is reinstalled or replaced.

Improper calibration can cause the sprayer to over- pressurize, resulting in component rupture, fire or explosion. It may also prevent the sprayer from obtaining the maximum working pressure, resulting in poor sprayer performance.

NEVER attempt to increase the sprayer's maximum working pressure by performing these adjustments in any other way. Normal operation of the sprayer at higher pressures may result in component rupture, fire or explosion. To perform this adjustment, howev- er, the sprayer pressure must be temporarily in- creased above the normal working pressure.

Use a new 50 foot (15.2 m) spray hose, rated for at least 3000 psi (210 bar) MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE, when performing this procedure. A used, under±rated hose could develop a high pres- sure leak or rupture.
