the pump cartridge. Rotate each knob 90 to release
pump.

Flip pump cartridge over. Insert the squeeze tubing
by inserting one of the barbed  ttings back into the
slot in the pump housing, making sure that the clip
end of the tie-wrap on the tubing is facing towards the
centerline of the pump housing.

Insert the other barbed  tting into the slot on the other side of the pump.

Hold both barbed  ttings down in the pump housing while turning the roller assembly
1 full rotation to seat the tube.

Carefully feed the tubing around the roller assembly in
the pump. Manually turning the roller assembly in the
direction the tubing is being inserted will make inserting
the tube easier.

Handle and Base Plate Mounting Bracket Assembly (continued)

Replace the pump cartridge assembly on the

17

mounting plate by aligning the toothed drive gear
with the roller assembly and sliding down into
position. Turn the release knobs until the arrows on the
knobs are parallel with the long side of the mounting
plate. Press the release knobs down into the mounting
plate until they “click”.

Test that the pump is functioning properly. Lower the bail (C) located on the upper handle (B).

Pull the unit backwards at a normal walking speed to make sure the pump is moving and that there is no
clicking noise. If the pump is moving and there is no clicking noise proceed to the Base Plate and Base
Plate Shaft Assembly section.

If the pump is not moving or there is a clicking noise follow the steps below.

Raise bail (C) on the upper handle (B).

Loosen the upper cable adjustment
locking nut with a pliers and back the
locking nut about ¼”. (Figure 11) Then
use the pliers to back out the cable
adjustment screw. (Figure 12)

Figure 18

Verify that the base plate is aligned properly by measuring from the base plate eye bolt to the front wheel.

6

If the two sides are not the same distance to the wheel simply loosen one eyebolt, re-measure

9

until the two sides are the same distance from the front wheels and re-tighten eyebolt nuts.

attach base plate springs (I) to the adjustable base
plate eye bolts. (Figure 18)

Now, remove the retaining clip and unthread the nut on the cleanup tool frame (Y).

7

Take the cleanup tool frame nut and slide onto the cleanup tool handle (BB). Then, insert the cleanup tool

Applying Finish with TrailBlazer

* Only do steps 1-6 if the applicator pad has not already been saturated with  nish*

Disconnect long connector feed line (V) from the pump inlet.

TrailBlazer

Hold the free end of the long connector feed line (V) behind the manifold (X) and slowly open the

Pull the TrailBlazer back and forth a few
times until the initial pool of  nish is
absorbed and  nish is  owing out of the
manifold (X). (Figure 28)

Once the system is primed and the pad is
wet pull the TrailBlazer in the direction you
wish to  nish. (Figure 29)

About 10 feet (3m) before the end of the pass, raise the bail (C) to keep excess  nish from being

8

applied as the TrailBlazer is turned for the next pass.

Lower the bail (C) and continue applying  nish.

Repeat steps 7 and 8 until the entire area is coated with  nish.

About 10 feet (3m) before the last pass is  nished close the white tap on the BIB and keep the bail
lowered to empty the feed lines and manifold.

Once the  nal 10 feet are  nished raise the bail (C).

Between coats place the base plate cover
(T) over the base plate (G). (Figure 30)

The base plate cover will keep the

Changing Filters

Overtime the  lter media inside the  lter housing can become clogged. If your TrailBlazer seems to not be
allowing enough  nish out of the manifold it is possible that the  lter is clogged.
Follow these steps to replace the internal  lter media.

Disconnect  lter from tubing.

Remove end caps of  lter and pull
used  lter foam from tube. Discard
used foam.

Insert new  lter foam into tube.
Inserting the tapered end  rst makes
insertion easier.

Reattach end caps.
