Maintenance & Troubleshooting

CLEANING THE NOZZLE or FILTER
  1. ALWAYS DEPRESSURIZE CANISTER BEFORE REMOVING ANY PARTS.
  2. Remove Nozzle from Nozzle Body leaving Nozzle Body in Brush.
  3. Rinse both Nozzle and Filter with cleaner.
  4. Make sure the Nozzle orifice and the Filter are clean and clear of all dirt before putting it back together.
  5. Put Nozzle and Filter in and reassemble. Tighten.
  6. If Nozzle still does not spray correctly it may need to be replaced.

PROBLEM:     TRIGGER WILL NOT SHUT OFF QUICKLY

Reason/Solution

A)     The Filter is clogged. (if the filter is clogged it will not allow the pressure to escape rapidly, thus resulting in a lingering effect, with the air pressure taking an extended time to dissipate, causing the product to continue to spray, even after the trigger is released.) Clean and replace.
B)     The Nozzle may be partially blocked. Clean and replace.

PROBLEM:     APPLICATOR WILL NOT SPRAY AT ALL

Reason/Solution

A)     Canister is completely full of liquid. Only fill sprayer 2/3 full (32 ounces).
B)     No air pressure. Pressurize.
C)     Nozzle completely clogged. Clean or replace nozzle. (See Cleaning the Nozzle above)


PROBLEM:     PIN STREAM ONLY

Reason/Solution

A)     Liquid too thick. Thin until sprayable. Consult your liquid supplier for correct thinning procedures.
B)     Too little air pressure. Must have a minimum of 40 psi.


PROBLEM:     FILLER CAP WON'T ACCEPT AIR

Reason/Solution

A)     Dirty or damaged filler cap. Replace.
B)     #121 valve core is swollen. Replace.


PROBLEM:     LEAKS FROM TOP OF FILLER CAP

Reason/Solution

A)     Filler cap has been damaged. Replace.
B)     #121 is loose. Tighten.
C)     #121 is worn. Replace.
