Operation Instructions

Wearing all PPE and observing all safety precautions dictated by the MSDS for your chemical:

1. Fill the tank with the solution to be sprayed.
2. Connect an appropriate compressed air line into the air inlet fitting (AP25).
3. Squeeze the discharge trigger gun (PSG12) to begin spraying.

After Use Instructions

1. Flush the unit with fresh water for 5 minutes.
2. Disconnect the air line from the air fitting (AP25) and relieve any pressure remaining in the system by squeezing the discharge trigger gun (PSG12).
3. Release the discharge trigger gun (PSG12) after all pressure has been relieved from the system.

Maintenance Instructions

To keep your portable unit operating properly, periodically perform the following maintenance procedures:

• Check the air pump (P56/P56K/P56V) for wear and leaks.
• Inspect hoses for leaks or excessive wear. Make sure all hose clamps are in good condition and properly secured.
• Replace filter (AFR25) in regulator (R25) as needed.
• Check the suction tube and screen for debris and clean as needed.
• Drain compressor tank on a regular basis to ensure proper operation of pump.

Troubleshooting Instructions

• Check to ensure that the discharge hose is uncoiled properly and that there are no kinks that could obstruct fluid flow.
• Check the air regulator bowl (ABR25) and air filter (AFR25) for debris such as water, oil, or dust particles. Clean by unthreading the air regulator bowl (ABR25) from the air regulator (R25).
• Check the strainer (STR38-IL) for debris or other blockages, and clean as needed. Replace strainer if damaged. A strainer must be used.
• If air passes through the pump (P56/P56K/P56V) without cycling, the pump needs to be replaced.
• Check for proper air pressure on the air gauge (AG100).
• The air regulator (R25) is factory set at 50 psi (3.4 bar).
• The operating range is 40 to 80 PSI (3 to 5 bar) with 2 CFM (56.6 l/min).

If the unit operates at a reduced pressure

• Check the air compressor supplying the unit. If the pressure is less than 40 psi, turn the unit off until the compressor can catch up.
• If the air supply is 50 psi (3.4 bar) or above, check the air gauge (AG100), which should read near 50 psi (3.4 bar). If the air gauge reads more or less than 50 psi (3.4 bar), adjust the pressure by turning the knob on the top of the air regulator (R25).
