Fan

The AU8115MS sprayer is fitted with a robust blower fan which is designed to
withstand ingestion of dirt and debris without damage. The fan and fan casing must
be cleaned after every six months of operation or more frequently if the sprayer is
used in dusty or dirty conditions. This will ensure efficient operation with a minimum
of vibration. To clean the fan, proceed as follows
1.
Remove the four bolts securing the fan cover and guard. Remove the cover
and guard.
2.
Thoroughly clean the fan vanes and back plate of the fan and inside of the
casing, using a stiff brush and compressed air (if available).
3.
If the area behind the fan is contaminated it may be necessary to remove the
fan. This should only be done if absolutely necessary, as this requires
demounting the fan housing.
8.3.

Pump

The pump used in the AU8115MS sprayer incorporates a magnetic coupling
between the motor and the pump rotor. The pump is a centrifugal type with a brass
housing.
If debris should block the pump impeller the pump will stall but the motor will
continue to operate.
If necessary, the pump must be cleaned by disassembling the pump head as shown
in section 10.5.
IMPORTANT:
the sprayer must be thoroughly cleaned and flushed out before
working any part of the pump, pipework or atomiser. Suitable gloves and protective
clothing must always be worn if any part is contaminated with pesticides. Clean all
pesticide deposits with kerosene and soapy water.
