PRESSURE
CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
This
procedure sets the sprayer to 2750 psi (195 bar)
MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE and sets the
overpressurization switch (microswitch) to approxi-
mately
3600 psi (242 bar).
Perform this procedure whenever the pressure con-
trol
assembly is removed and reinstalled or replaced,
or
a new circuit board is installed.
Improper adjustment can cause the sprayer to over-
pressurize
and result in component rupture, fire or ex
-
plosion.
It may also prevent the sprayer from obtaining
the maximum working pressure, resulting in poor
sprayer
performance.
NEVER
try to
increase the sprayer
s maximum work
-
ing
pressure of 2750 psi (195 bar) by performing these
adjustments
in any other way
. Normal operation of the
sprayer
at higher pressures may
result in component
rupture,
fire or explosion. T
o perform this adjustment,
however,
the sprayer pressure must
be
temporarily
in
-
creased
above the normal working pressure.
Use
a
new
50 ft (15.2 m) spray hose rated for at least
2750 psi (195 bar) MAXIMUM WORKING PRES-
SURE. A used, under–rated hose could develop a
high
pressure leak or rupture.
WARNING
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN PERFORMING THIS ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE to reduce the risk of a
fluid injection injury or other serious bodily injury which can result from component rupture, electric shock, fire,
explosion,
or moving parts.
