Occasional lubrication of rubber seals, with a light grease or petroleum jelly will greatly prolong the life of your sprayer. Most importantly, a very light smear on the sealing face on the top of the container will make it easier to achieve an airtight joint, without having to screw the pump on too tightly.

The piston ring, Pt no 609881 is accessed by first removing the pump head and then removing the pump barrel by unscrewing the two screws, Pt no 603870. When re-assembling ensure that the gasket, Pt no 538758 is located on the two lugs of the pump head and do NOT overtighten the screws Pt No. 603870.

To lubricate, or replace the 'O' ring Pt no 503720 which seals the nozzle holder into the pump head, it is first necessary to push out the retaining pin, Pt no 608920 with a suitable pin punch, or mandrel.

If the pump to container seal is not leaking and the pump appears to be working, but not building pressure, the footvalve may be at fault. To check or replace the footvalve, unscrew the retaining cap Pt No. 602700 and carefully tip out the footvave spring Pt No. 615972 and footvalve poppet Pt No. 710870. If the rubber face of the poppet is damaged install a new one, remembering that it should be introduced into it’s housing rubber end first.
