Pump Non-Return Valve
(situated at bottom of the pump barrel)
•
This stops the compressed air in the container from escaping back into the pump.
•
If it is faulty, the unlocked pump handle will rise when the container is pressurized.
•
To remove the valve, lift the edge of the valve and pull. (take care not to damage the
sealing face of the barrel).
•
To replace place the valve over the centre hole and push down firmly.
Pump Barrel Seal Rings
•
These make an airtight seal between both the pump barrel and adapter.
•
Also, between the adapter and container when both are screwed down tight.
•
To check this, turn the pressurized sprayer upside down and if there is a leak, liquid will be
forced from the joints.
Nozzle Cap
•
Keep this clean and free from obstruction.
•
Also, the two swirl grooves at the end of the lance must be kept clean and free from
sediment to ensure a good spray pattern.
•
The nozzle O-Ring should be kept lubricated with silicone grease.
Lance
•
Keep the trigger clean and free from sediment and chemicals by regularly flushing through
after use.
•
If necessary, remove and clean the shuttle in the trigger.
Outlet and Dip Tube
•
To rewash the outlet or replace the dip tube, unscrew the hose nut and pull the outlet
spigot and dip tube through the outlet body.
Winter Use
•
Drain liquid from all parts after use to prevent damage from freezing.
Annual Maintenance
•
At least once a year thoroughly clean the whole sprayer and apply silicone grease to all
moving parts.
•
Test with water and if any washer or seal has perished it must be replaced.
