Maintaining the Engine
When transporting a sprayer with a gas engine, make sure
the fuel is shut off.
Important Facts Concerning this Sprayer
This gas-powered sprayer contains a clutch that engages
when the sprayer is pumping. The sprayer’s pressure control
system engages and disengages the clutch to control
pressure. To prevent unnecessary wear to the clutch, it is
advisable to adjust the engine speed and pressure setting to
limit the amount of times the clutch engages and disengages.
To reduce clutch wear, refer to the following examples.
Example:
Operating one gun with a .019 tip — reduce the engine speed
by adjusting the throttle to a low or medium setting and
increase pressure only until the heavy ends of the spray
pattern have been eliminated.
Example:
Operating one gun with .023 tip — increase engine speed to a
higher setting and increase pressure until the heavy ends of
the spray pattern have been eliminated.
Example:
Spraying light-bodied materials at low pressure — to reduce
surging at the gun and to decrease clutch wear, reduce the
engine speed to idle and reduce pressure until the desired
spray pattern is achieved.
Routine Engine Maintenance
Daily
• Check and fill the gas tank.
• After the first 20 hours of operation, drain the oil and refill
with clean oil. Check the engine oil level and fill as
necessary.
Weekly
• Remove the cover of the air filter and clean the element.
Replace the element if necessary. If operating in an
unusually dusty environment, check the filter daily and
replace if necessary. (Replacement elements can be
purchased from your local SprayTECH dealer.)
• After each 50 hours of operation: Change the engine oil.
Spark Plug
• Use only a (NKG) BP6ES plug.
• Gap the plug 0.025” – 0.030” (0.7 – 0.8 mm).
• Make sure to use a spark plug wrench when installing and
removing the plug.
NOTE: For detailed engine specifications and
maintenance, refer to the separate engine
manual supplied with this sprayer.
