Servicing the Hose Assemblies
Servicing of the hose assemblies is limited to
cleaning and removal of any foreign matter.
3-6. Servicing the Cleaning Gun Assembly
(Refer to Fig C-2)
a. The cleaning gun is composed of gun handle,
swivel assembly, gun grip extension and nozzles.
Each nozzle has a nozzle restrictor.
b. The cleaning gun and nozzles are a most
important component of the cleaner. A damaged or
leaky gun, frozen swivel, improper nozzle and/or
nozzle restrictor can greatly reduce the cleaning
effectiveness and increase the physical effort
necessary to complete any cleaning task. As an
important component it should be kept in prime
condition at all times.
c. Keep cleaning gun and swivel properly
adjusted. Replace nozzles and nozzle restrictors if
damaged or worn.
(1) To clean gun, remove nozzle, turn on
cleaner and flush gun for a few minutes. Check
nozzle for condition and nozzle orifice for proper
restrictor size.
(2) Tighten swivel packing glands by tightening
packing gland nut until a slight drag is felt when
rotating gun grip extension or, if leaking, until
leaking ceases.
d. To replace packing in swivel assembly, the
packing glands must be replaced when simple
tightening of packing gland nut will not stop leaking
without locking rotation.
(1) Unscrew packing gland cap and remove gun
grip extension from gun handle. Pull out packing ring
bushing and the three chevron packings from swivel
body.
(2) Install new packings, bushing with recess
facing collar or brass swivel bushing. Reinsert and
screw on packing gland cap.
(3) Tighten packing gland cap until a slight
drag is felt when rotating gun grip extension or, if
leaking, until leaking ceases.
NOTE
If any pipe fittings are broken or replaced including
nozzles, use teflon tape on all threads upon
reassembly.
