Pressure Relief Procedure
Trapped pressure can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury from
splashing or moving parts.
1. Engage the trigger lock.
2. Shutoff the pump:
a. For air-powered pumps, close the bleed-type
master air valve.
b.For hydraulic-powered pumps, close the supply
line shutoff valve first, then close the return line
shutoff valve.
3. Disengage the trigger lock.
4. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a grounded
metal pail. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
5. Engage the trigger lock.
6. Open all fluid drain valves in the system, having a
waste container ready to catch drainage. Leave
drain valve(s) open until you are ready to spray
again.
Disassembly
Lay out all the removed parts in sequence, to ease reassembly.
Packing Repair Kits are available. For the best
results, use all the new parts in the kit. Kit parts are
marked with an asterisk, for example (3*). These
kits can also be used to convert the lower to different packing materials. See pages 14-17.
