spray gun is open or closed, therefore a device is needed to control the direction of flow, either allowing the flow to go through the open spray gun, or redirecting (by-passing) the flow back to the inbound side of the pump when the spray gun is closed. Without an unloading or regulating valve, dangerously high pressures will be produced when the spray gun is closed because the water being forced out of the pump has no place to go.

PULLEY SELECTION There are many typed of belts and pulleys available, the following is a basic guide. Manufacturer’s representatives should be consulted concerning your specific requirements. DETERMINING SPRAY TIP SIZE As stated earlier in this manual, the output pressure is determined by forcing the output volume of water through a certain size orifice or spray tip.

SELECTING REMAINING COMPONENTS If your motor/engine will be operated at a speed other than 1725 RPM, the pump pulley diameter can be calculated using the following formula. RPM Ratio X Motor Pulley Diameter X UPSTREAM OR INLET SIDE COMPONENTS Pump Pulley Diameter Inlet Filter - A very important component to increase system life and avoid operating problems.

DOWNSTREAM OR OUTLET SIDE COMPONENTS PSI, to activate the chemical flow. A double nozzle holder, rollover nozzle, and a double lance are a few accessories that allow mounting a low pressure spray tip, as well as the standard high pressure spray tip. An adjustable nozzle allows a large orifice to be opened around the high pressure spray tip.

INSTALLING YOUR COMPONENTS the crankcase (and crankcase bearing) to avoid an excessive side load on the rotating parts. Be sure that the pulleys are properly aligned to avoid excessive belt and pulley wear and belt noise. Do not overtighten the belts to avoid an excessive side load on the rotating parts. Refer to manufacturer’s printed literature and install all components according to manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid serious bodily injury or property damage and to insure proper system operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Pulsation Low Pressure REMEDY CAUSE Faulty pulsation dampener. Check precharge; if low, recharge it or install a new one. Worn nozzle. Replace nozzle, of proper size. Belt slippage. Tighten or replace; use correct belt. Air leak in inlet plumbing. Disassemble, reseal and reassemble. Relief valve studk, partially plugged or improperly adjusted valve seat worn. Clean, adjust relief valve; check for worn and dirty valve seats. Kit available.
