WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which could result in serious personal
injury.
NOTICE:
Ensure garden hose is disconnected and misting kit is
properly drained when not in use and prior to freezing
temperatures. Water remaining in misting kit during
freezing conditions may freeze and damage misting kit.

MAINTENANCE

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

Irregular mist patterns or leakage may be the result of a
clogged or dirty nozzle.
To clean nozzles:
 Turn the hose faucet completely off and disconnect the
garden hose from the misting kit.
 Remove the nozzles from the misting tube assembly.
 Soak nozzles in nozzle cleaner (not included) to loosen
foreign materials clogging or restricting the nozzle.
 Using a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by back
flushing (running the water through the nozzle backwards
or from the outside to the inside).
 Reconnect the nozzles to the misting tube assembly.
 Reconnect the garden hose to the hose adaptor.
CLEANING THE T-FILTER STRAINER
See Figure 14, page 11.
 Remove the strainer cap.
 Remove the strainer from inside the T-filter.
 Thoroughly clean the strainer with water and a soft brush.
 Replace strainer in T-filter and reinstall cap.
NOTE: Do not operate the misting kit without the strainer
installed.
WARNING:
Ensure all components of misting kit are properly
assembled after maintenance has been performed and
that the system does not leak water. Improper hose
connections and/or leaks can result in a slippery surface
and create a slip and fall hazard.
