4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Priming the Pump
Before first use or after refilling tanks, prime the pump by selecting the 'Water' setting and squeezing the spray gun trigger until a steady stream of water is discharged.
4.2. Cleaning Condenser Coils (Outdoor Units)
- Ensure the HVAC unit is powered off.
- Select the 'Chemical' setting on the CoilJet unit.
- Spray the coil cleaning solution evenly over the condenser coils. Allow the chemical to dwell for the time recommended by the chemical manufacturer.
- Switch the setting to 'Water'.
- Rinse the coils thoroughly with water, working from top to bottom, until all chemical residue and loosened debris are removed.

4.3. Cleaning Evaporator Coils (Indoor Units)
- Ensure the HVAC unit is powered off.
- For indoor units, it is recommended to use a coil bib or similar containment system to collect wastewater and prevent damage to surrounding areas.
- Select the 'Chemical' setting on the CoilJet unit.
- Spray the coil cleaning solution evenly over the evaporator coils. Allow the chemical to dwell for the time recommended by the chemical manufacturer.
- Switch the setting to 'Water'.
- Rinse the coils thoroughly with water, ensuring all chemical residue and loosened debris are flushed into the containment system.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Unit: After each use, rinse the water and chemical tanks thoroughly with clean water. Run clean water through the pump and hose to flush out any remaining chemical residue.
- Battery Care: Keep the battery charged, especially during periods of non-use, to prolong its lifespan. Store the unit in a cool, dry place.
- Nozzle Maintenance: Periodically check the spray nozzle for blockages and clean as necessary to maintain optimal spray pattern and pressure.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low or no spray pressure | Low battery charge, clogged nozzle, air in pump, empty tank. | Charge battery, clean nozzle, prime pump, refill tank. |
| Unit not turning on | Battery not charged, power switch off. | Charge battery, ensure power switch is in the 'ON' position. |
| Leaking from connections | Loose connections, damaged O-rings. | Tighten all connections, inspect and replace O-rings if damaged. |
