-
Inspect the stainless foot grate for debris and clean when necessary.
-
Collection basin should be emptied and cleaned each time the chemical supply container is changed or refilled. See Collection basin cleaning instructions for more information.

Verify nozzle assembly is free of any debris or blockage. Rinse with low pressure water if necessary.
-
Check suction line and strainer for debris. Clean as needed.
-
Inspect all tubing for leaks or excessive wear. Make sure all hose clamps and push fittings are in good condition and properly secured.
For SS2-MBS units only:
- Remove brushes by lifting them out from the brush bracket. Remove debris and clean. Brushes should be replaced every 6 months depending on wear.
- Slide out debris tray. Empty debris and wipe clean.
- Base assembly of unit is fully stainless and can be cleaned in place by method suitable for stainless steel.

Troubleshooting Your Unit
If your unit is not operating properly, try using these troubleshooting tips:
Issue | Solution |
---|---|
If the unit does not spray |
- Check valve stem and roller cam for proper movement and compression.
- If the pump is cycling, but unit does not spray, the pump may be air locked.
- Verify pump springs are not worn or broken.
- Check the suction line and strainer for debris and clean if necessary.
- Verify the jug the unit is pulling from is vented, and filled appropriately.
- Ensure nothing is blocking or impeding the full motion of the mechanism.
If the unit sprays irregularly|
- Verify that the unit is connected to an appropriate compressed air source. Unit requires 40 psi (2.8 bar) with 1 CFM (28.3 l/min) to operate. To maximize unit lifespan and performance, compressed air should be clean and dry.
- Note: If the air source has a high moisture content, you may wish to install a water separator before the unit.
- Verify the pump is cycling regularly. Pump can be disassembled and the o-rings can be re-lubricated with a silicone-based lube.
- Ensure the springs in the pump are not worn or broken.
- Check the spray tips and make sure they are not clogged or blocked by debris. The spray tips may be removed and cleaned if necessary.
- Verify that the jug the unit is pulling from is vented, and filled appropriately.
If the unit does not hold a prime|
- Check hose clamps and ensure that barbs are secure.
- Check all tubing connections and verify none are loose, broken, or leaking.
