A final step should then be to remove the nozzle caps and clean the
nozzle tips and screens. This can easily be done by placing all three
parts into a small can of soapy water and allowing them to soak for a
few minutes. An old toothbrush can be used for stubborn spots. Rinse
Nozzle Assembly parts with clean water and allow to air dry. Do not
store with pump locked in tank, leave loose.
STEP

All parts of your Pioneer Brite Striper should be cleaned immediately
after each use. We recommend Pioneer P.H.D. Cleaner. A clean,
lint-free rag should be used to wipe dry the inside of the tank.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE WIRE OR ANY OTHER OBJECT TO CLEAN
NOZZLE TIP AS THIS MAY CAUSE TIP ORIFICE TO BECOME
ENLARGED WHICH WILL RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE
WHEN STRIPING.
How To Store:
Cleaning your machine thoroughly cannot be overemphasized. A little
extra effort at the end of each job will save you time and money when it
is time to stripe again. As stated previously, run a tankful of water through
the machine. Be sure to clean out screen inside the Nozzle Assembly.
IMPORTANT: BE SURE TO CLEAN PUMP UNIT IN TANK. IMMERSE
IN CLEANING SOLUTION AND PUMP SEVERAL TIMES. FAILURE
TO DO THIS MAY RESULT IN LEAKS OR MALFUNCTION IN THE UNIT.
Normal Wear:
Warranty will not cover repair where normal use has exhausted the life
of the part. Line stripers, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts
replacement and service to perform well. It should be remembered that
the service life of any equipment is dependent on the care it receives
and the conditions under which it has to operate.
1. Flush machine out thoroughly.
2. Remove hoses and drain.
3. Run engine until gas tank is empty.
4. Wipe the sides and bottom of inside
of tank with a clean dry rag.
5. Lubricate spray valve (shut-off valve).
5. Apply petroleum jelly or similar
substance to pump gasket.
7. Do not store with pump assembly
tight.
