Standard Primary Filter
Your sprayer is equipped with a primary filtration system. This filter could be in the form of a “Y”
strainer (standard) or a self cleaning filter (optional). The filter is located on the right side of the
sprayer under the sprayer platform. The filter is installed on the pressure side of the pump and has
a 50 mesh screen. Other size mesh screens are available through your local Miller dealer parts
department.
Self Cleaning Filter (Optional)
Refer to the “Maintenance” section of this manual for filter maintenance interval and
procedures
A self cleaning filter is an optional accessory. This filter has a throttling valve located in the front left
hand side of the sprayer. A quick coupler system and hose is mounted to the bottom of the filter
cannister. The unmixed chemical that does not go through the 50 mesh screen is returned to the
product tank through the rear agitation jets, reagitated and sent back through the system.
•
The throttling valve should remain completely open for the self cleaning filter to operate properly.
•
When the cannister is removed from the filter head, the throttling valve MUST be closed.
To clean the filter screen:
