Elevator Slide
Refer to Figure 61
The polyethylene slides on the elevator can be adjusted
to take out any side-to-side play. Periodically check the
slide pads
for wear. As the pads wear, tighten 1/2-inch
bolts on both sides of elevator frame until pads just
touch frame.
Tighten the slides so that there is a minimal amount of
play in the elevator.
When tightening the slides be sure to keep the elevator slide
centered in the elevator mount. If the elevator is adjusted to
one side there can be an interference.
Cycle the elevator a few times to ensure there is no bind-
ing and that the slides are sufficiently tightened.
Quad-Jet Agitators
Refer to Figure 62
The Quad-Jet agitators are two 4-port nozzle heads in
the sprayer tank. A portion of the tank outflow may be
recirculated to the quad jets to maintain a constant con-
centration of materials that might otherwise tend to strat-
ify, clump, precipitate or sediment.
The agitator head is oriented at 45 degrees, with refer-
ence to the tank ends, so that the water jets are aimed at
the corners of the tank. At completion of tank flushing,
check that the ports are pointing to the corners.
If the ports have shifted, re-adjust them. If they require
frequent adjustment, remove the assemblies and check
for loose fittings.
Confined space, chemical fume and low oxygen hazards.
Review and implement the recommendations of the next sec-
tion (Tank Entry) before performing any work inside the tank.
