Keep your machine in good working order. For general use and
maintenance, hand tools and a pipe wrench may be required.
WIRING CARE
Periodically check the wires for loose connections, cuts or fraying.
Replace power cord if ground prong is damaged.
MATERIAL HOSE CARE
Inspect hose lines for any weaknesses. These lines carry materi-
al at very high pressure, so it is important that they be in good
condition.
•
The stator and rotor are wear parts. They will require re-
placement over time. The length of time between replace-
ment depends on the material pumped and frequency of use.
Any foreign material accidentally run through the pump may
lead to premature replacement.
•
Grease the wheels every six months. There are grease zerts
on the wheel hub.
•
Store the machine in a dry, protected area.
•
Check the air in the tires periodically
•
Do not let material harden in hopper or pump
MATERIAL COMPATABILITY
Not all liquids are suitable or approved for the Kodiak. Call the
factory if you have questions about materials other than drywall
spray mud.
CLEAN-UP
•
Your clean up procedures will be different depending on the
product you are spraying and the time between jobs.
•
Never use petroleum based cleaner on the Kodiak. It will de-
stroy the rubber pump parts.
•
If you are spraying a standard drywall texture mud and there
is no more than a few days between use, you can leave a
mud in the hopper. Wipe down the machine and rinse off the
hose set. It will not hurt the pump or the hopper to leave tex-
ture in it. You may cover the hopper to keep texture from dry-
ing out.
•
If you expect long delays between jobs, then it is best if you
do a more thorough clean-up (see Step 10 on Page 3).
•
Flush soapy water solution through the hopper, pump and
hose set. Use liquid dish soap like Dawn
or Joy
. Remove
the stator tube and rotor and place them in the hopper for
future use and assembly. At this point, your Kodiak can be
stored safely for many months.
•
If you are spraying a material that will harden and is not easily
removed after it sets, then a more thorough procedure will be
necessary after each use. Wipe down the machine and rinse
off the hose set. Use a liquid dish soap like Dawn
or similar.
Remove the stator tube and rotor and place them in the hop-
per for future use and assembly. When reassembling, pour a
liberal amount of dish soap on the rotor and this will make the
reassembly easier.
•
DO NOT SPRAY WATER ON THE CONTROL BOX. THE
CONTROL BOX IS WATER RESISTANT, NOT WATER
PROOF. WATER INSIDE THE BOX WILL CAUSE FAILURE
AND POSSIBLY A SAFETY HAZARD. SEE CONTOL BOX
