3. How to Handle and Operate

Preparation and Check - Spraying

CAUTION

This power sprayer does not contain oil. Before use, be sure to supply oil.

• Fill with the oil (SAE 10W-30 or equivalent) to the red circle on the center of the pump rear oil gauge or to the red circle on the center of the pump side oil gauge.
• Refill about 3 to 5 drops of oil (SAE 10W-30 or equivalent) to three holes (oil refill port) on the front of the crankcase.

CAUTION

Before attaching the suction hose and bypass hose, check the packing. Particularly for the suction hose, vibration and insufficient water intake on this machine may be caused, resulting in the reduced pump life.

• Attach the strainer as a standard accessory. (If a non-standard part is being used, please contact MARUYAMA service dealer.)

• When starting, perform test run with fresh water to make sure that the power sprayer is not faulty.

CAUTION

If the power sprayer is faulty, stop it immediately. See Troubleshooting and Actions for Power Sprayer on Pages 18 and 19.

• When putting the hose in the chemical tank, set the water intake pump head within 3 meters.

CAUTION

Moving of the water intake hose and extra water hose is dangerous, so fasten them with the attached band securely.

Make sure that the strainer is securely in the water source.

• As shown in the figure, move the pressure control valve handle up to the "Start" position.

• Align the "0" scale on the grip with the pressure indicator position.

CAUTION

Note that starting in the pressurized state may damage the piston packing because water intake cannot be performed and idling occurs.

• Close the discharge ball valve.

CAUTION

If water intake is started without the valve closed, the conditioner may suddenly come out of the valve or nozzle may move fast. Be sure to close the valve.

• At the start and during operation, be sure to keep the belt cover attached.

WARNING

Since the rotary part may result in injury to personnel, be sure to attach the belt cover. If the belt cover cannot be attached, be sure to take special considerations e.g. provide a fence around the working machine.

• Rotate the pressure control valve handle to the "Pressurize" position.

CAUTION

• Rotate the pressure control valve handle fully. If the handle is in a midway and operation is started, the internal seat will be damaged.
• Make sure that water intake is in progress. If water intake is not performed (idling is kept) for at least one minute after the start, the piston packing will be damaged. Again, see Troubleshooting and Actions on Pages 17 and 18 and repeat the operation.

CAUTION

If the pressure is suddenly increased during two-person operation, a strong reaction force is given to the spray apparatus and it is dangerous. Open the valve after a sign is given in advance from spray operator.

Stop

• When stopping the pump, return the grip to "0", and the handle to the "Start" position. A compression spring is used for pressure adjustment. If a positive pressure remains in the hose, the pressurized liquid may come out when removing the pipe.

4. Cleaning, Maintenance, and Storage

• After the operation, remove any fluid, drain the chemical solution remaining in the tank, then perform cleaning. Future problems with pump start can be prevented by normal regular cleaning.

CAUTION

For disposal of water after washing this machine, special care must be take so that chemical disasters will not occur same as the conditioner.

For the chemical handling method, read the instruction manual of the chemical carefully.

• Remove the nozzle from the hose, lift the water intake strainer from water, and run this machine at a low speed with the valve opened to drain water (Grip: "0", Handle: "Start").

CAUTION

ldling must be less than one minute for machine protection.

• If the water intake hose and extra water hose are left connected, the packing may be damaged and leaks may occur. Be sure to remove and store them.

• Store the regulator control spring with no load applied. To maintain the correct pressure indication, return the grip to "0", and the handle to the "Start" position.

• To prevent damages due to freezing in winter season, remove water completely before storage. Specifically, loosen the drain plug shown in the figure, drain water from the inside of the machine, and perform cleaning, maintenance, and storage.

CAUTION

Remove oil after oil cools down.

• Before replacing oil, make sure that this machine has stopped.

• For the first time replacement, replace oil after 50 hours have elapsed. Then, replace every 100 hours. Since oil degrades, replace oil at least once a year (SAE 10W-30 or equivalent) even if the 50 or 100 hours mark has not passed.
