1. GENERAL SAFETY
Decontamination/pressurized washing is an inherently risky activity. Knowledge and training may
manage that risk. This document is not a training manual and does not provide all detailed
operation. This guide serves as a quick reference for operation. AHJ (Authority Having
Jurisdiction) shall provide training and guidelines for system operation.
SAFETY HEADINGS
DANGERS, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTICES consist of two parts: a heading (that identifies
possible result if disregarded) and a statement of the hazard (that provides the minimum
precautions).
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION, WHICH IF NOT AVOIDED WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION, WHICH IF NOT AVOIDED COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION, WHICH IF NOT AVOIDED MAY
RESULT IN MINOR OR MODERATE INJURY.
ADDRESSES PRACTICES NOT RELATED TO PERSONAL INJURY.
GENERAL DANGERS, WARNINGs AND NOTICES

work area as the approved chemicals for the Akron FS100™ Portable Sprayer System,
causing serious injuries or death.
oDo not operate or store the system in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
oKeep a fire extinguisher nearby.
•General warnings

EXTENSION CORD
This system does not include an extension cord. To use the installed battery
maintainer/charger, a 3-prong receptacle is installed.
When using an extension cord, ensure it is in good condition. Inspect cords periodically
and replace if damaged. Always use a sufficiently rated extension cord. If an alternate
extension cord is used, be aware that an undersized extension cord will cause a drop
in-line voltage, which could result in loss of power, damage to the product and/or
overheating.
Extension Cord Requirements
Gauge: 12/3 (grounded)
Max length: 100 feet
Power Outlet (recommended): GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter)
When system’s battery charger and extension cord are connected, the electrical parts are
electrically live even when the switch is off. To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or
injury:
oKeep the cord away from heated surfaces
oDo not use a damaged or broken power cord
oDo not crimp or kink the cord or strain it around sharp edges
oIf the unit or electrical components come in touch with water, unplug immediately. Do
not reach into water to retrieve
Power Connection
The charger/maintainer must be plugged into a 3-prong grounded outlet rated for no less than 15A.

6. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
For the Akron FS100™ Sprayer to remain functional, the equipment should be cleaned on a regular basis.
In addition to general exterior cleaning of the unit, there are THREE user-serviceable areas: sprayer
nozzle, piston pump intake strainer, and piston pump seals and check valves.
DRAINING THE UNIT
1. Pump out fluid and store or dispose as per the AHJ.
2. Tilt the tank and ensure all agent is out of the tank
REMOVING THE ENCLOSURE FROM THE CART
1. Release locking bar of the cart to remove the pump enclosure.
2. Remove the pump enclosure before attempting to open the pump enclosure.
SPRAYER NOZZLE
The most important maintenance task to ensure trouble-free operation of your unit is to rinse the
nozzle out with clean water after every use. This routine cleaning will avoid the long-term chemical
buildup that eventually causes clogs, poor spray patterns, and shortened life of the nozzle
components.
To Clean/Inspect Change the Nozzle Assembly
3. With the unit unplugged and powered OFF, unscrew the retainer cap from the wand adapter
with a 13/16” wrench, holding the wand adapter with an 11/16” wrench. Clean any debris from
or around any of the interior surfaces with warm, soapy water.
4. Inspect for any damage to the nozzle tip. If spray pattern was noted to be inconsistent or non-
typical of a normal symmetrical spray, remove/replace the liquid tip.
5. Thoroughly clean all interior surfaces of the nozzle tip, including the main orifice. Never use a
wire brush, file, or sandpaper to clean any surface or orifice.

PISTON PUMP INTAKE STRAINER
A low-pressure in-line liquid strainer is mounted to the inlet of the piston pump. The strainer
protects the pump from debris that might accumulate in the 5-gallon liquid reservoir. The strainer
has a composite, non-metallic housing with a stainless-steel mesh strainer element.
The strainer is a low-pressure device and should NOT be subjected to HIGH pressure flushing water.
To Clean/Inspect the Strainer
1. Disconnect any external power connections to the unit.
2. Empty (if necessary) the 5-gallon liquid reservoir.
3. Remove the cart from the storage container and open the container lid.
4. Unscrew the plastic strainer cap from the base. Clean any debris from inside the cap.
5. Remove the stainless-steel strainer element and clean any debris from or around any of the
interior surfaces. If needed, rinse the strainer element with warm, soapy water.Inspect the
strainer for damage and replace as necessary.
6. Reinstall both the strainer element and strainer cap.
7. Replace the container lid.
PISTON PUMP REPLACEMENT
If required to replace the piston pump, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect any external power connections to the unit.
2. Empty (if necessary) the 5-gallon liquid reservoir.
3. Remove the cart from the storage container and open the container lid.
4. Disconnect the power and ground electrical connections between the battery and the piston
pump motor.
5. Disconnect the discharge tube and inlet hose from the piston pump.
6. Remove the piston pump assembly.
7. Install the replacement piston pump assembly inside the battery compartment.
8. Reconnect the plumbing and electrical connections.
9. Replace the container lid and refill with liquid to test the unit.
