To prevent paint from clogging up the tube system, the paint system needs to be cleaned after each use.
A minimum recommended clean procedure consists of the following:

# Rinse Paint System with water

Needed items:

The Tablet needs to be connected to the Turf Tank One.
The Turf Tank One does not need to drive for this procedure.
The Turf Tank One will use approx. 0,5L of water per minute (0,13 gallons per minute).

1. Add 4-5L or 1 gallon of hot tap water to a paint bottle or bucket.

2. Add dishwashing soap to the bottle or bucket (optional).

3. Open Lid for paint compartment.

# Adjusting Spray Width

Spray width is adjusted by raising or lowering the sprayer module.

Lowering the spray module decreases the spray width.
Raising the spray module increases the spray width.

# Lowering the Sprayer

1. Rotate turn knob counterclockwise to lower the spray module.

# Raising the Sprayer

1. Rotate turn knob clockwise to raise the spray module.

# Painting Sharp Lines

Sharp painted lines can be achieved by adjusting the width between the Spray Discs. If the spray cone hits the Spray Discs high–– up, less paint will be applied to the painted line. If the cone does not hit the Spray Discs, the painted line will be less sharp. Width of the Spray Discs needs to be adjusted so the bottom of the spray cone hits close to the bottom of the Spray Discs. See illustration below.
How to adjust the distance between the Spray Discs is found here:
Adjusting distance between Spray Discs

# Adjusting Distance Between Spray Discs

Increase distance between spray discs:
1. Rotate the turn knob counterclockwise to increase the distance between each Spray Disc.

Decrease distance between spray discs:
1. Rotate the turn knob clockwise to decrease the distance between each Spray Disc.

# Reading The Distance Between Spray Discs

The distance between the Spray Discs can be read on ruler above. The ruler is showing the distance in centimeters. The distance is read from above where the outside of the arm for the outer Spray Disc is used as reference. On the illustration below the distance is 10cm.

# Adjusting The Spray Guard

The purpose of the Spray Guard is to minimize the amount of paint being sprayed forward. The Spray Guard should be adjusted so it is barely touching the grass or surface being painted.

1. Rotate the turn knob counterclockwise to loosen.

2. By hand, adjust the height of the Spray Guard.

3. Rotate the turn knob clockwise to tighten.
