6 - Maintenance
Occasional maintenance
General info
The maintenance and replacement intervals for the following will depend very much on the conditions under which the
sprayer will be operated and are therefore impossible to specify.
Nozzle tubes and fittings
Poor seals are usually caused by:
• Missing O-rings or gaskets
• Damaged or incorrectly seated O-rings
• Dry or deformed O-rings or gaskets
• Foreign bodies
In case of leaks:
DO NOT overtighten. Disassemble, check condition and position of O-
ring or gasket. Clean, lubricate and reassemble.
The O-ring must be lubricated ALL THE WAY AROUND before fitting on
to the nozzle tube. Use non-mineral lubricant.
For AXIAL connections, a little mechanical leverage may be used.
For RADIAL connections only hand-tighten them.
