Secondary strainers are located at each nozzle. To
clean, remove the nozzle cap (tip and gasket come out
with cap). Remove strainer from the nozzle body. Clean
and replace.
Wear chemical resistant rubber gloves,
apron and face protection when cleaning the
system. Failure to do so can cause sickness
or death. Read safety information provided
by chemical manufacturer for proper handling
procedures.
(1)
Turn ball valve off. Remove the strainer’s base and
take out wire mesh screen. Clean and replace. Turn ball
valve on.
(3)
Discard and replace damaged strainers.
It is possible for debris to get past the strainers and clog the
orifice of the tip.
Clean the tips with a TeeJet™ cleaning
brush only. Using wire, pocketknives or wire brushes
can cause damage to the tip, altering spray volume or
pattern.
