ESS XT-3 - Liquid Filter Assembly; To Disassemble, Clean, and Reassemble the Liquid Filter Assembly

ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
To disassemble, clean and reassemble the liquid lter
(see labeled drawing above):
1. Using a 13/16” wrench on the cap (Item 8) and an 11/16” wrench on the 1/8”
NPT body (Item 12), unthread them. Note: When you disassemble the liquid
lter assembly, noce how the parts t together in order to reassemble them
properly. Be careful not to lose any parts, parcularly the ow disk (Item 10)
which is inside the cap. The sprayer will not funcon correctly without the ow
disk.
2. Remove the strainer (Item 11) from the 1/8” NPT body.
3. If the 1/8” NPT body contains residue, clean it with compressed air or clean
water.
4. Clean the strainer with compressed air or clean water. If residue sll remains in
the 50 mesh screen, disassemble the strainer. Unscrew the top brass part from
the boom brass part. The 50 mesh screen slides o the brass body and can be
cleaned with compressed air or clean water. If residue sll remains, soak the 50
mesh screen and screw the top brass part back on the lower brass part.
5. If the ow disk is sll in the cap, remove it. Check the aperture of the ow disk
for blockage. If there is any, clean it with compressed air or water. Replace the
ow disk so that the numbers on the disk face the strainer.
6. Replace the strainer in the 1/8” NPT body.
7. Rethread the 1/8” NPT body and the cap.
You may have to clean the liquid
lter more
frequently if the XT-3 is
being used to spray high-parcle
density soluons.
Liquid lter assembly
The liquid lter assembly is located outside the base of the spraywand.
It is composed of these parts: a 1/8” NPT body (Item 12), a strainer (Item 11), a
ow disk (Item 10), an adapter (Item 9) and a cap (Item 8). The strainer is the
acve ltering element in the volume of liquid that ows through the line. There is
an extra ow disk and an extra strainer in the XT-3 Parts Kit in case the
originals are lost or damaged.
