SPRAY APPLICATOR
●
Keep the internal workings of the spray applicator clean. The spray applicator should be thoroughly
cleaned after each use. Follow the cleaning instructions on page 9 with reference to the drawings
on page 3
●
Check the needle and fluid tip on a regular basis for excessive wear, and replace as necessary. See the
cleaning instructions for the correct procedure for removing these parts. Replacement needle sets are
available from Earlex Ltd.
●
Keep all moving parts lubricated with a light smear of petroleum jelly.
●
Lubricate the gland washer, after each time you clean it, with a light smear of petroleum jelly.
●
Check there is no leakage from the gland washer. If there is, tighten the gland nut a little to ensure a seal
with the needle. Do not over-tighten this nut, also ensure the gland washer has not dried out. If it has,
lubricate it as above.
TURBINE UNIT
●
Check the condition of the filters that are housed in the front cover. This is easily removed by sliding
it upwards. If clogged, remove and blow out using an airline, or wash out using a mild detergent if
necessary.
●
Keep the outer surface of the air hose free from harmful substances such as petrol, automotive coating
thinners, paint strippers & oil. Prolonged exposure to such substances may cause irreparable damage.
Always check and clean off any excess immediately.
●
Check the condition of the power cord regularly. If there are any cuts or serious abrasions to the outer
sheath, replace it immediately. When the unit is not in use, keep the power cord coiled around the
brackets at the back of the turbine case. When the unit is being used, protect the power cord and any
extension cord from damage that could be caused, for example, by traffic or hazardous substances.
The turbine unit can only be fully serviced by authorised service agents.
