NEVER LEAVE THE UNIT UNDER PRESSURE WHEN NOT SPRAYING (ENGINE TURNED OFF). RELIEVE PRESSURE BY TRIGGERING GUN. NEVER STORE THE UNIT WITH PAINT OR WATER IN THE PUMP SYSTEM, EVEN OVERNIGHT.
NEVER attempt to start the engine when the unit is under pressure. Relieve pressure and follow instructions in "Setting up to spray"
Avoid operating the unit while tilted. Keeping it level assures greater operating efficiency. Always follow flushing and cleaning instructions exactly.
In hot weather, locate unit in shade.
Regularly check the level of H.E.R.O. LVO hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic tank. It should be kept near full, top up as needed with only genuine H.E.R.O. LVO hydraulic fluid.
Crankshaft eccentric bearing should be greased at regular intervals consistent with hours of use. Use
A minimum 50’ and a maximum of 300’ of airless spray hose may be used.
NOTE: 50’ x 3/8” paint hose ( part # 117 ) should be used for every 50’ x 1/4” paint hose ( part # 114 ) over 100’.
100’ total length of paint hose = 2 of 50’ x 1/4” paint hose.
150’ total length of paint hose = 2 of 50’ x 1/4” paint hose and 1 of 50’ x 3/8 paint hose. 200’ total length of paint hose = 2 of 50’ x 1/4” paint hose and 2 of 50’ x 3/8 paint hose.
250’ total length of paint hose = 3 of 50’ x 1/4” paint hose and 2 of 50’ x 3/8 paint hose. 300’ total length of paint hose = 3 of 50’ x 1/4” paint hose and 3 of 50’ x 3/8 paint hose.
Product viscosity, altitude ( feet above sea level ) and vertical reach can effect pump performance and special accessories may be required. Product viscosity may have to be further reduced at higher elevations. The larger diameter 3/8” paint hose should be used.
Check drive belts ( part# 66/100 ) tension frequently. The belt will stretch with use, and should be adjusted after 20 hours of operation and again after 50 hours. Periodic checks after 50 hours should be made. Failure of the drive belt is not covered by the equipment warranty, so proper maintenance of the belt is important.
Regularly check fittings, bolts, nuts and connections for damage. Tighten, adjust or replace as required.
Check crankshaft alignment often. An out of alignment crankshaft will cause the damage to the eccentric bearing.
GAS ENGINE
Check the engine oil level daily. Top up only with the manufacturer’s recommended oil. Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.
Check the engine air cleaner daily. NEVER operate without an air cleaner.
Use only UNLEADED or lowleaded gasoline.
The engine requires regular operation and should not be stored for prolonged periods without operating. Run for a minimum 15 minutes each week while in storage.
Remove gas before storing.
Have the engine professionally serviced by an approved service technician on a regular bases as recommended by the manufacturer ( Honda ).
DO NOT adjust engine operating speed ( RPM ). The engine is factory set for optimum performance.
DO NOT use engine RPM to control spray performance, always adjust pressure with “Pressure Control”
