Instructions for Use

BEFORE YOU START

How to Release Pressure
  1. ALWAYS DEPRESSURIZE SPRAYER BEFORE REMOVING ANY PARTS. The pressure may be let out of the sprayer one of the two following ways:
    1. Turn sprayer upside down. Point nozzle down and away from you.
    2. Tip the sprayer upside down and depress the trigger until no pressure is left. If some liquid is left in the sprayer when you attempt this procedure make sure you aim the nozzle at a place were a little bit of liquid can be expelled.

  2. Place top of sprayer away from you. Slowly turn pump handle to the left (counterclockwise) to release pump.

How to Fill
  1. Release pressure as described previously
  2. Remove pump from tank by turning counterclockwise and pulling out of tank.
  3. Prepare spray solution according to manufacturer's mixing instruction. Make sure the liquid you are putting into the sprayer is CLEAN and FREE OF FOREIGN PARTICLES. Do not fill tank over 3/4 full.
  4. Close tank by replacing pump, turning only enough to seat.
How to Pressurize
  1. Lift pump handle all the way up and push it all the way down. Repeat until you have desired pressure in tank. Test pressure by spraying some liquid (squeeze control valve handle). A higher pressure makes a finer spray. It also makes a coarse spray go a greater distance.
  2. As pressure drops during use, add pressure as necessary.
  3. Shake tank occasionally to keep sediment-bearing liquids well mixed.
  4. The Swabby99 Pro Tire Applicator sprayer is now ready to use.

CAUTION: Never point the nozzle sprayer toward yourself or another person. Always point the nozzle of the sprayer away from yourself and toward your intended target before depressing the trigger.


How to Service Tank and Pump Assembly

If sprayer fails to pressurize:
  1. Always be sure there is no pressure in sprayer before servicing.
  2. Remove pump from tank. Inspect cylinder gasket part #151-069 . If soiled, clean cylinder all surfaces of gasket and remove from tank. If worn, replace with part from Maintenance Kit part #250.
  3. Remove plunger from pump cylinder by unthreading pump cap. Pull plunger out of cylinder and inspect plunger cup part # 154-058. If damaged or worn, replace with part from kit. Apply petroleum jelly to plunger cup to reassemble.
  4. Remove check valve from bottom of pump cylinder and clean seating surface. Inspect check valve part # 151-406. If worn, replace with part from kit.
  5. Reassemble sprayer. If tank fails to retain pressure, proceed to the next section and check for leaks.
If sprayer leaks:
  1. Check cylinder gasket: Release pressure and remove pump. Clean gasket and surfaces where it seals. If gasket shows signs of wear, replace with part from kit.
  2. Examine pump cylinder check valve: Release pressure and remove pump. Pull out check valve at bottom of pump cylinder and clean seating surface. If valve shows signs of wear, replace with part from kit.
  3. Examine hose connection to tank: be sure cap nut is secure.
