Stainless-steel tank
The TrG-5 has a 5-gallon (18.9 liter) stainless steel tank. when the com-
pressor is operating and the tank pressure gauge is set between 12-15
PsI, the liquid in the tank is continuously agitated. This helps prevent
separation and settling of the chemical mixture.
There is a pressure release valve lever on the tank lid that allows the
operator to release pressure in the tank before opening. when the
lever is horizontal, the tank is pressurized; when the lever is vertical,
the tank is not pressurized and can be safely opened. when the TrG-5
is running, you will hear a small amount of air escaping from the tank
lid even when the lid is fastened and latched. This is due to agitation
and is normal.
ESS recommends the use of
NUTRA-SOL cleaner which
can be purchased from ESS.
Order s/n#1566.
To open the tank:
1. slowly open the Pressure release valve by turning it
counter-clockwise (left). This depressurizes the tank.
2. Pull the tank lid’s latch up.
3. Holding on to the latch, rotate the tank lid 90° clockwise.
4. Pull out the tank lid. notice the direction of the tank lid in
relationship to the tank opening.
To close the tank:
1. slide the lid into the tank opening, using the same direction
as when it was removed.
2. rotate the lid 90° counterclockwise.
3. while pulling the lid up to seal it against the tank opening,
push down on the lid latch until it is parallel with the
tank lid and seals tightly.
4. Close the Pressure release valve by turning it clockwise.
Note: Do not operate the sprayer when the tank lid is not securely
closed. Tank agitation is powerful and liquid may splash out if the lid is
not sealed.
The tank should be thoroughly cleaned immediately after each use
by triple-rinsing the tank; a commercially available tank cleaner like
nutra-sol may be used and is recommended when the TrG-5 is used to
spray wettable powders on a regular basis.
