ESS XT-3 - The Quick Connects; Air Connection; Liquid Connection

ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
Quick connects
There are four sets of quick connects (plug and socket) on the sprayer:
Compressor (air) outlet
Tank (liquid) outlet,
Spray gun air inlet
Spray gun liquid inlet
In all cases, the plug is on the outlet side of the connecon.
Air connecon
The air hose is the larger of the two hoses that make up the blue twin
line hose. The quick connect for the air connecon is on the front panel of the
XT-3 body. The air socket and plug are larger in diameter than the liquid
connecons – it is not possible to connect the air hose to the liquid socket. The
other end of the air hose connects to the air leader of the spraywand (lower
leader). It’s easily recognizable because its plug is larger than the liquid
connector.
Liquid connecon
The liquid line is noceably smaller than the air hose. Its quick connect socket
is also on the front panel of the XT -3 body. It is smaller than the air quick
connect socket – it is not possible to connect the liquid hose to the air socket.
The other end of the liquid hose connects to the liquid leader of the
spraywand (upper leader).
To connect the quick connects at the spray gun leaders:
1. Slide the sleeve of the quick connect socket up.
2. While holding the sleeve up, push the socket onto the quick connect plug.
3. Release the sleeve.
4. Pull on the socket body to ensure that it is properly seated and cannot be
pulled o the plug when the sleeve is down.
To connect the quick connects at the front panel of the XT-3:
1. Push the liquid and air plugs into their respecve sockets unl you feel
them latch.
2. Pull gently to make sure the connector is properly seated.
To disconnect the quick connects at the spray gun leaders:
1. Slide the sleeve on the quick connect socket up.
2. While holding the sleeve up, pull the socket o the quick connect plug.
To disconnect the quick connects at the front panel of the XT-3:
1. Push the sleeve on the quick connect socket towards the sprayer body.
2. While holding the sleeve down, pull the plug out of the quick connect
socket.
