3.
Screw on the bottle cap. With the harness connected
and the injection tee valves closed, pressurize the
bottle with a bike pump to 40 psi.
4.
One at a time, open the injection tee valves over a
rinsate collection container (such as a bucket with lid or
empty injection bottle) to allow cleaning solution to flow
through each tip.
NOTE:
The bottle may need to be re-pressurized during the process.
5.
Once the bottle and harness are empty of cleaning
solution, pressurize the harness with air to flush any
remaining fluid into the waste container. Dispose of
pesticide wastes and rinsate in accordance with the
product label and local, state, and federal regulations.
NOTE:
It is recommended to flush the system with water after the
cleaning solution, particularly before storage.
6.
Thoroughly clean the harness connector, pressure
relief valve, and other components as needed. It
is recommended to remove and soak the harness
connector in cleaning solution after heavy use.

(page 8)
for

7.
Always store the Q-connect system clean and dry.

TROUBLE
SHOOTING
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Product pools in tubing
during injection
application
Competing pressure/resistance
in system
Raise tubing with pooled product above
the level of the surrounding tubing to
allow product to be gravity-fed into the
nearest injection port
Close valves on empty injection tees.
Open one valve to draw product into
injection port
Malfunctioning or worn-out
harness connector
Replace, or bypass with black
push-to-connect tee
Injection tee difficult to
remove from injection
site
Extremely tight seal between
injection site and tip
Turn injection tee handle clockwise
while smoothly pulling backward on the
handle
NOTE:
Turning counterclockwise can strip the handle
threads.
Lightly rock or jiggle tee handle
side-to-side to break the seal
DO NOT TWIST
: twisting back and forth may break the
tip or strip the handle threads.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Basic Maintenance
1. Clean:
run cleaning solution through the unit after use
»
keep pressure relief valve clean to prevent sticking
»
always clean the unit with an isopropyl alcohol-based cleaning solution
1 part 70% isopropyl alcohol to 2 parts water
»
recommended to follow cleaning solution with clean water
2. Soak
major components weekly or after heavy use in an isopropyl alcohol-based
cleaning solution
3. Lubricate
O-rings on pressure relief valve and male barb of harness connector and
X-ring on bottle cap as needed.
See Repair Instructions
4. Dry completely
before extended storage
