2. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general procedure for installing the 5850-CC Multeejet Tip Assembly. Ensure the sprayer is depressurized and empty before beginning installation.
- Preparation: Ensure your B&G Primeline sprayer is clean and free of any residual chemicals. Verify that the Extenda-Ban Value is securely attached to the sprayer wand.
- Removal of Old Tip (if applicable): If replacing an existing tip, carefully unscrew the old tip assembly from the Extenda-Ban Value. Dispose of the old tip according to local regulations.
- Installation of New Tip: Align the threaded end of the 5850-CC Multeejet Tip Assembly with the Extenda-Ban Value. Screw the tip assembly onto the valve clockwise until it is finger-tight.
- Secure Connection: Using a wrench, gently tighten the tip assembly an additional quarter turn to ensure a secure, leak-free connection. Avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the threads or the tip assembly.
- Test for Leaks: After installation, fill the sprayer with water and pressurize it. Check for any leaks around the newly installed tip assembly. If leaks are present, depressurize the sprayer and re-tighten the assembly.
3. Operating Instructions
The 5850-CC Multeejet Tip Assembly features a 4-way selector for different spray patterns. To change the spray pattern, rotate the knurled cap at the top of the tip assembly until the desired pattern aligns with the indicator mark on the body of the tip.
The available spray patterns are designed for specific applications:
- Pin Stream: For precise, targeted application in very narrow cracks and crevices.
- Fan Spray: For broader coverage along baseboards or surfaces.
- Crack & Crevice: A specialized pattern for reaching into tight spaces.
- (Fourth pattern may vary, refer to specific product markings for exact details): Often another variation of fan or cone spray for general application.
Always ensure the sprayer is properly pressurized according to the B&G sprayer's manual for optimal spray performance.
4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance extends the life and ensures the performance of your B&G Multeejet Tip Assembly.
- Cleaning: After each use, flush the tip assembly with clean water to remove any chemical residues. For stubborn clogs, disassemble the tip and clean individual components with a small brush and water. Avoid using metal objects that could scratch or damage the brass.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the tip for wear, damage, or blockages. Check the O-rings and seals for deterioration and replace them if necessary to prevent leaks.
- Storage: Store the tip assembly in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and dry.
5. Troubleshooting
