General Repair Information
•
Keep all screws, nuts, washers, gaskets, and electri-
cal fittings removed during repair procedures. These
parts usually are not provided with replacement kits.
•
Test repairs after problems are corrected.
•
If sprayer does not operate properly, review repair
procedure to verify you did it correctly. See
Trouble-
shooting
, page 11.
•
Install motor shroud before operation of sprayer and
replace if damaged. Motor shroud directs cooling air
around motor to prevent overheating. It can reduce
risk of burns, fire or explosion, or cut fingers.
To reduce risk of serious injury, including electric shock:
•
Do not touch moving or electric parts with fingers or
tools while testing repair.
•
Unplug sprayer when power is not required for test-
ing.
•
Install all covers, gaskets, screws and washers
before you operate sprayer.
Flammable materials spilled on hot, bare motor could
cause fire or explosion. To reduce risk of burns, fire or
explosion, do not operate sprayer with cover removed.
NOTICE

•
Use needle nose pliers to disconnect wire.
Never pull on wire, pull on connector.
•
Mate wire connectors properly. Center flat
blade of insulated male connector in female
connector.
•
Route wires carefully to avoid interference
with other connections or pressure control.

trol box.
NOTICE

Doing so could damage pump packings.
•

from water. Openings in the cover allow for air
cooling of the mechanical parts and electronics

sprayer could malfunction or be permanently
damaged.

ing. Never leave water or water-base paint in
sprayer when its not in use in cold weather.
Freezing fluids can seriously damage sprayer.
Store sprayer with Pump Armor to protect
sprayer during storage.
