STORAGE

Before storing the ELECTRAFAN 12 for long periods clean the fan guard with a
small brush to remove any deposits and wipe the metal components with an oily rag
to help combat corrosion.
Store the sprayer in a clean dry place away from direct sunlight. The battery should
be recharged and stored in a cool dry place.

TO CLEAN ATOMISER ASSEMBLY

Always disconnect the sprayer from the battery before servicing.
Hold the fan by inserting a pencil or similar between the guard rings near the name-
plate. Remove the atomiser spindle nut by turning clockwise when facing the atom-
iser assembly (left hand thread). If the nut is tight loosen using pliers. Pull off the
atomiser assembly, soak in paraffin, preferably overnight, then drain and dry.
Alternatively, dismantle the atomiser assembly by releasing the 3 clamp screws and
nuts. Clean carefully. When re-assembling be certain to replace the two spacer
washers on each screw before re-fitting the stainless steel rear collector disc.
Check that the bearing cover is in place, then place the atomiser assembly on the
shaft, followed by the atomiser spindle nut (left hand thread). To tighten hold the fan
as above, turn the nut anti-clockwise until finger tight, then rotate the atomiser assem-
bly anti-clockwise. Do not overtighten.

TO CLEAN FEED NOZZLE

Remove the atomiser assembly as above. Remove the bearing cover from the shaft.
To do this it may be necessary to tilt the bearing cover so that there is clearance be-
tween the outer diameter of the bearing cover and the feed nozzle.
