SMITH PERFORMANCE SPRAYERS S103E Industrial Concrete Sprayer

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Read the owner’s manual completely before operating this sprayer.
• Always use goggles, gloves, and protective clothing when using sprayers. Refer to the appropriate technical bulletin for the chemical being sprayed for additional protective clothing required.
• Read and follow all instructions and cautions on the label, material safety data sheets, and technical bulletins of products used in this sprayer.
• Never use flammable liquids, chlorine, bleach, caustics, acids, hot water, or other corrosive solutions or heat, pressure, or gas-producing chemicals in the tank for the S103E Sprayer.
• Do not leave the sprayer in the sun when not in use.
• Spray when the air is calm to prevent the drift of chemicals.
• Do not use a sprayer near open flame or anything that could cause ignition of the spray.
• Always inspect the hose and all hose connections before each use. A damaged hose or lose hose connection can result in unintended exposure to the pressurized chemical, resulting in serious injury or property damage.
• Do not lift or carry the sprayer by the hose, shut-off valve, or extension. Carry by pump handle only, making sure handle is properly locked in place before lifting.
• Do not pressurize with any mechanical device such as an air compressor, since this can create a dangerous pressure level and a burst of parts resulting in serious injury. Only use the original pump.
• Do not store chemicals in this tank.
• Always release pressure when the sprayer is not in use and before removing the pump from the tank.
• Do not stand with your face or body over top of the tank when pumping or loosening the pump, to prevent the pump or solution from striking you, resulting in serious injury.
• Clean and rinse the sprayer thoroughly after each use.
• Never attempt to alter the sprayer from its original condition.
• Always use replacement parts from the original manufacturer.
• Keep the sprayer and all chemicals out of the reach of children.

WARNING: ALWAYS CLEAN THE SPRAYER AND SHUT OFF IT THOROUGHLY AFTER EACH USE OR WHEN CHANGING APPLICATIONS AS DESCRIBED IN THE CLEANING SECTION. FAILURE TO COMPLETELY CLEAN MAY CAUSE CROSS-CONTAMINATION.

CAUTION: Always empty, clean, and dry tank, pump system, shut-off, hose, and extension after each use. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY WEAKEN SPRAYER COMPONENTS, CAUSING COMPONENTS TO RUPTURE WHEN PRESSURIZED. Additionally, FAILURE TO CLEAN AND PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR SPRAYER WILL VOID MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.

WARNING: The sprayer is operated with liquid under pressure. Failure to observe caution and to follow instructions for operating and cleaning can cause tank, hose, and other parts to be weakened and ruptured under pressure. This can result in serious injury from the high-pressure discharge of liquids or forcible ejection of parts. Do not use flammable materials in this sprayer. The material could ignite or explode, causing serious injury and/or possible death. For safe use of this product, you must read and follow all instructions before use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Filling

IMPORTANT: Always make sure the pressure is released from the tank before filling or servicing.

1. Pull up on the knob of the pressure release valve until all the pressure is released from the tank. (See Figure D.)

Pump Unlocking And Pressurizing

TO UNLOCK PUMP: Turn handles counterclockwise until the 4-prong clamp is loose, then rotate clamp counterclockwise aligning the tabs with the slots in the neck of the tank and remove the pump.

TO LOCK PUMP: Align clamp tabs with the slots in the neck of the tank and lower the pump assembly, rotate the 4-tab clamp clockwise to the stop position, and rotate the handle clockwise to tighten, seal and lock the tank cover.

TO PRESSURIZE: Push down on the handle to depress the coil spring and turn the handle 1/4 turn counterclockwise to unlock a handle. Pressurize the sprayer by pumping the handle in a smooth up and down motion. Push down on the handle to depress coil spring and turn the handle 1/4 turn clockwise, then allow the handle to raise into the lock position.

Shut-Off

1. Direct nozzle away from you and squeeze the shut-off lever to begin spraying.
2. This model does have a locking trigger.

Steps To Cleaning Your Sprayer

To prevent clogging issues, after each use clean your sprayer

1. Release pressure in your sprayer via the pressure relief valve. Do not undo the handle without releasing pressure.
2. Empty the remaining chemical back into the original filling container.
3. Fill sprayer with water, place pump back into tank, and tighten.
4. Aggressively shake the water in the tank to try and get residue off of the inside walls of the sprayer. Repeat step if necessary, each time refilling with fresh water.
5. Pressurize the sprayer and spray water for 30-45 seconds into a disposable reservoir, then release pressure and remove the pump from the tank.
6. Tip and empty tank then set tank upright. Hold the wand and shut off above the tank and depress the shut-off. The liquid will drain into the tank, empty again.
7. Repeat the steps above as necessary.
8. Allow tank to air dry by leaving the pump outside of the tank overnight. The next day, replace the pump to keep debris out of the tank.

Sprayer Storage

1. The sprayer tank should be hung upside down, with the pump removed.
2. Do not store or leave any solution in the tank after use.
3. Store in a warm, dry location out of direct sunlight.
4. Keep the sprayer and all chemicals out of reach of children.

MAINTENANCE

Pump Lubrication

• The pump should be periodically oiled by applying 10 to 12 drops of light oil down the pump rod through the opening in the pump cap as shown.

 Pump Disassembly & Reassembly

NOTE: Remove pump from tank prior to disassembly.

1. Inspect tank cover o-ring. If worn or damaged, remove and replace. (See Figure E)
2. To remove tank cover from pump barrel, while firmly gripping tank cover, grasp pump barrel and unscrew by turning counterclockwise as shown. (See Figure F) A strap wrench may be required to loosen the barrel.
3. Inspect barrel o-ring. If worn or damaged, remove and replace. Lubricate o-ring with petroleum jelly. (See Figure G)
4. Inspect piston o-ring. If worn or damaged, remove and replace. Lubricate o-ring with petroleum jelly. (See Figure H)
5. Inspect the check valve at the bottom of the barrel. If worn or damaged, remove and replace by pressing into a hole in the bottom of the barrel. (See Figure J)
6. Insert the pump handle piston assembly into the barrel. While firmly gripping the tank cover, thread the pump barrel into the cover and tighten it by turning clockwise. (See Figure K) A strap wrench may be required to tighten the barrel.

Nozzle Maintenance

1. If the nozzle clogs, remove and disassemble the nozzle assembly.
2. Clean the openings of any obstructions and reassemble.
3. The brass nozzles should be cleaned with a toothbrush and detergent. Don’t use metal brushes or sharp objects on the nozzle. For tough clogs soak the brass nozzle in xylene and clean with a brush.

Shut-Off Maintenance (Repair Kit)

Always depressurize the sprayer before maintenance by activating shut-off and spraying contents out.

1. Unscrew the handle from the shut-off assembly.
