ENGINE OPERATION AND SERVICE
•
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.
•
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 warranty on gasoline engines is limited to the original
manufacturer.
