Operating the Sprayer
Keeping all safety and operating measures in mind You are
now ready to begin spraying. By squeezing the trigger
handle you will activate the sprayer to begin “priming” the
pump.
The pump is self priming and will not be damaged by
running dry. Priming time will vary depending on the fluid
viscosity and temperature. Priming should only take a few
seconds, depending on the material. Be certain the fluid
being pumped is compatible with the pump materials,
Viton®, Geolast, EPDM and Polypropylene. For a partial
list of compatible fluids see appendix A. If it is not listed or
you are unsure, contact your chemical supplier. The pump
is intended for continuous or intermittent duty when the
proper operating criteria are met.
NOTE:
“Intermittent Duty”
is defined as; operated and/or
frequently started within a period of time that would cause
the motor to reach its maximum thermal limits. Once the
maximum thermal limit is obtained, a thermal breaker
switch will interrupt operation until the motor cools down to
normal operating temperature, then it will automatically
reset and resume operation.
Pump may cycle on and off at varying intervals depending
on viscosity and temperature of the material being sprayed.
Clean up
C A U T I O N
As with any type of sprayer, this unit will not function
satisfactorily if the unit is not clean. Thoroughly clean the
sprayer after EACH use by completely flushing the unit,
including all hoses and wand. The cleaning agent should be
whatever is recommended by the manufacturer of the material
that you are spraying. Pump the cleaning agent through the
sprayer until all traces of the previously sprayed material has
been removed from the unit.
