Maintenance Procedure
When not cleaned properly, the sprayer nozzles may develop residual chemical build up. This could result in
decreased pressure and spray patterns. To reduce the chance of blockage, spray water through the unit after
each use to rinse out any residual chemical build up that may have occurred. Make sure to spray the water for
at least 30 seconds. Clean the unit with a dry rag. Properly dry the unit and handle area before use.
Changing the Nozzle
Before changing the nozzle, you will need the following items:
•
14mm socket wrench (included)
•
Yellow Teflon tape (not included)
•
Small ruler (not included)
1.
Prior to removing the nozzle, measure the distance at
which the nozzle is from the front of the metal ring. Write that
distance down as you will need it when installing the new nozzle.
2.
Using the included wrench, unscrew the nozzle from
the unit in a counterclockwise manner.
3.
Remove the Teflon tape from the nozzle, it will need to
be reapplied.
4.
Run water through the unit with the nozzle removed to
flush out any foreign particles that may have fallen inside. Aim the
unit towards a sink to prevent having a water mishap.
5.
Before installing the new nozzle, apply the Teflon tape
on the threads. Line up the edge of the tape with the outer edge of the threads.
6.
Roll the tape in the opposite direction of the threads, this will ensure the tape does not unfurl itself
when installing the nozzle in the unit. Pull the tape taut as you roll it to ensure a tight fit. Roll it for 2
turns, then pull on the tape until it is sheared off. Flatten any loose strands.
7.
You can now install the new nozzle in the unit. Start by turning it by hand for a few turns, this will
ensure the nozzle is installed straight. Proceed to tightening it with the nozzle wrench.
8.
After a few turns, stop and measure the depth at which the nozzle is inside the unit. Compare it
with the value measured earlier. If it is not deep enough, proceed to tightening it some more. If it is
too deep, proceed to unscrew the nozzle.
9.
DO NOT
tighten the nozzle all the way in. It is important to respect the distance between the nozzle
and the metal ring
.
Cleaning the Nozzle
If the unit has an irregular mist or leakage from the nozzle, use a fine needle to remove any debris from the
orifice at the tip and flush with water. Insert the needle into the orifice carefully using a back-and-forth motion.
If blockage persists, unscrew the nozzle using the provided wrench and disassemble the nozzle to clean.
