Engine Operation and Service
1. Clean and oil air filter pad on gasoline engine every 25
hours or once weekly. Do not permit the air intake screen
around the fly wheel of the gas engine to load up with
paint or trash. Clean it regularly. The service life and
efficiency of the gas engine model depends upon keeping
the gasoline engine running properly. Change the oil
in the engine every 100 hours. Failure to observe this
may result in engine overheating. Consult the engine
manufacturer's service manual provided.
2. To conserve fuel, service life, and efficiency of the
sprayer, always operate the gasoline engine at the
lowest RPM at which it runs smoothly without laboring
and delivers the amount required for the particular
painting operation. Higher RPM does not produce higher
working pressure. The gasoline engine is connected to
the hydraulic pump by a pulley combination designed to
produce full paint delivery at maximum RPM.
3. The warranty on gasoline engines or electric motors is
limited to the original manufacturer.
