Maintenance and Adjustment
(3)
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.
(4)
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.
Clearing Debris From System
Occasionally, it may become necessary to clear debris
from the system. The VersaTrakr, VersaTrail, and 1600
are equipped with strainers on both the suction (supply
line) and discharge (boom line) side of the pump as well
as tip strainers. The WyngTrakr and Field Sprayers have
a strainer on the suction side and tip strainers.
Wear chemical resistant rubber gloves when
cleaning the system. Failure to do so can cause
sickness or death. Read safety information
provided by chemical manufacturer for proper
handling procedures.
