If you've invested in one or more IK Sprayers then it's a great idea to keep on-top of their maintenance and general care. That way they'll last a long time without having to replace any of the parts or the sprayer(s) as a whole.
Cleaning + Maintenenance
-
Depressurise the sprayer and clean it with water after every use. Much like a snow foam lance, it's also a good idea to put clean water through the sprayer to wash out the internals when you know you've finished with the sprayer for the day.
-
Collect and dispose of the residual amount according to the legislation, prescriptions, and applicable regulations.
-
In the event of obstruction of the nozzle, clean it with water and do not use metallic objects.
-
If the filter of the handle is clogged, remove it and clean it with water.
-
Store the sprayer under cover, avoiding freezing temperatures and extreme heat (between 5°C and 30°C).
-
To prolong the life of the seals, regularly apply grease to the moving parts of the sprayer.
Safety Rules + Guidance

-
Do not spray on people, animals, electrical installations, flames, open fires, or any other sources of ignition.

Use the sprayer only with substances which are compatible.
