6) Do: If unit passes this test, release pressure (see Pressure Releasing Instructions), empty tank, and proceed with Filling,
Pressurizing and Spraying Instructions.
7) Do: Inspect all metal parts including the wand, nozzle and fittings for rust, corrosion and pitting. If any of these
conditions are found, replace affected part with original manufacturer's part before using.
