Filter Maintenance; Annual Maintenance - Apollo Sprayers PRECISION-6 Instruction Manual

8.2 Filter Maintenance

Visually check your filters when you remove your pre-filters for cleaning. Check for accumulated material in the filter element. If
you suspect they may be dirty, or if you can see material building up, don't take a chance, remove the filter and hold it up to
the light.
To remove your filters, remove two dome nuts (1) and pull filter plate (2) off. Filter plate can hang up on the threads so make
sure you pull it off straight. Remove filter (3). If filter is stuck to the side of the case, gently tap them with your hand.
To check your filters, hold them up to a light, similar to your car air intake filter. If you cannot see light through more than
50% of the filter, clean or replace filter element. To clean the air filter you can purchase a filter cleaner from your local auto
parts store. Spray the cleaner on both sides of the filter and let it sit for a few minutes. Then use your garden hose to wash
the filters from the inside out. Do not use a pressure nozzle as this could damage the filter element. Thoroughly dry the filter
element before reinstalling it on the turbine. To reinstall the filters, reverse the instructions above. Make sure that you line the
filter up with the filter plate first, this will help to keep it straight when replacing the dome nuts.

8.3 Annual Maintenance

Check carbon brushes at least once a year or every 150 hours, whichever comes first. To check your carbon
brushes consult with an authorized Apollo repair facility.
