apply all to the lid gasket.
Proper Maintenance also includes:
• Regular check of the spray tank,
• Regular check of spray line and screw connectors,
• Clean all filters and check for any damage,
To protect piston, cylinder and piston collar (models
425/435/ 473P) from impurities in the spray solution, an
additional filter is fitted on the inlet side of the pressure
tank. This filter can be cleaned by vigorously shaking
the tank when flushing it.
With models 425/435/473P: After disassembly of pump
components or after replacing the piston collar, use
water resistant grease to lubricate the piston and the
collar.
