SPRAYING

PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT! To avoid possible serious body injury, always follow this
procedure whenever your Sanique sprayer is shut off, when checking it, and
whenever you stop spraying.
1 Engage the gun safety latch.
2 Turn the unit off and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
3 Disengage the gun safety latch and trigger the gun to relieve residual fluid
pressure. Hold metal part of the gun in contact with grounded metal pail.
4 Turn the Priming Valve to the open (priming) position to relieve residual
fluid pressure.
5 Re - engage gun safety latch and close Priming Valve.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1 Keep the displacement pump packing nut/wet cup lubricated with
QLube Piston Lubricant at all times. Add a drop of oil with regular use to the
top of the pump. This helps protect the rod and the packings.
2 Inspect the packing nut daily. If seepage of solution into the packing nut and/
or movement of the piston upward is found (while not spraying), the packing
nut should be tightened enough to stop leakage only, but not any tighter.
Over tightening will damage the packings and reduce the packing life.
