Your sprayer is manufactured from many different types of plastic material, and although
the liquid you wish to use may be packed in a plastic container, this is no guarantee that it
will not damage the sprayer. If you are in any doubt about any chemical you intend to
spray we recommend that you contact the consumer service department at the address
given the check its suitability.
7. Maintenance
Pressure Release Valve
•
The safety valve is designed to release any excess pressure and to let you release the
pressure after spraying.
•
Do not interfere with the setting of the air pressure safety valve.
Plunger Head
•
The O-Ring should be kept lubricated to slide freely in the barrel and so pump air
efficiently.
•
To apply grease proceeds as follows.
•
Remove the pumps assembly by unscrewing in an anti-clockwise direction.
•
Locate the pump handle into the carrying position and grip the barrel.
•
Unscrew the plunger retaining cap from the pump barrel by rotating the handle.
•
Withdraw the plunger and apply silicone grease to the O-Ring.
•
When re-assembling ensure the O-Ring is not trapped between the outer edge of the
plunger moulding and the inside of the pump barrel.
