4. Turn power OFF and clean dust and
dirt from motor, tank, air lines and
pump cooling fins.
NOTE: The air filter located in the filter
slot in the pump head must be checked
and cleaned periodically, more often if
used under very dusty conditions or
when a great deal of fog from spraying is
allowed to circulate near unit.
IMPORTANT: Unit should be located as
far from spraying area as hose will allow
to prevent over-spray from clogging filter.
