ESS XT-3 - Tank

ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
Tank
The XT -3 has a 3-gallon (11.4 liter) stainless steel tank. When the compressor is
operang and the tank pressure gauge is set between 12-15 psi, the liquid in the tank
is connuously agitated. This helps prevent separaon and seling of the chemical.
There is a pressure release valve on the tank lid that allows the operator to release
tank pressure before opening the tank. Due to agitaon, you will hear a small amount
of air escaping from the tank lid even when the lid is fastened.
This is normal.
To open the tank:
1.Slowly open the Pressure release valve by turning it counter-clockwise (le). This
depressurizes the tank.
2. Pull the tank lid’s latch up.
3. Holding on to the latch, rotate the tank lid 90° clockwise.
4. Pull out the tank lid. Noce the direcon of the tank lid in relaonship to the
tank opening.
To close the tank:
1. Slide the lid into the tank opening, using the same direcon as when it was
removed.
2. Rotate the lid 90° counterclockwise.
3. While pulling the lid up to seal it against the tank opening, push down on the lid
latch unl it is parallel with the tank lid and seals ghtly.
4. Close the Pressure release valve by turning it clockwise.
Note: Do not operate the sprayer when the tank lid is not securely closed. Tank
agitaon is powerful and liquid may splash out if the lid is not sealed.
It is recommended that, at mes, the tank should be thoroughly cleaned by
triple-rinsing the tank. A commercially available tank cleaner, like Nutra-Sol, may
be used when the XT-3 is used to spray weable powders on a regular basis.
