PRESSURE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
This procedure sets the sprayer to 2750 psi (195 bar)
MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE and sets the
overpressurization switch (microswitch) to approxi-
mately 3600 psi (242 bar).
Perform this procedure whenever the pressure con-
trol assembly is removed and reinstalled or replaced,
or a new circuit board is installed.
Improper adjustment can cause the sprayer to over-
pressurize and result in component rupture, fire or ex-
plosion. It may also prevent the sprayer from obtaining
the maximum working pressure, resulting in poor
sprayer performance.
NEVER try to increase the sprayer’s maximum work-
ing pressure of 2750 psi (195 bar) by performing these
adjustments in any other way. Normal operation of the
sprayer at higher pressures may result in component
rupture, fire or explosion. To perform this adjustment,
however, the sprayer pressure must be
temporarily in-
creased above the normal working pressure.
Use a
new 50 ft (15.2 m) spray hose rated for at least
2750 psi (195 bar) MAXIMUM WORKING PRES-
SURE. A used, under–rated hose could develop a
high pressure leak or rupture.
WARNING
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN PERFORMING THIS ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE to reduce the risk of a
fluid injection injury or other serious bodily injury which can result from component rupture, electric shock, fire,
explosion, or moving parts.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, follow the illus-
trated Pressure Relief Procedure warning on
page 24 whenever you are instructed to relieve
pressure.
NOTE: Read the GENERAL REPAIR INFORMATION
on page 24 before doing this procedure.
