Nozzle Maintenance for Grass Pitch Line Marking Machines

Nozzle Maintenance and care

• Nozzles are a critical component in the spraying system chain when it comes to Pitch Marking Spray Machines, and yet the most neglected.
• Worn or damaged nozzles result in over or under application of Pitch Marking Paint. Nozzles should be examined and checked regularly. 
• Always keep a spare nozzles with the machine for immediate replacement in the field when necessary. 
• A visual assessment of the nozzle discharge pattern will show up any streaking due to damaged nozzles. 
• Always keep a new nozzle to one side for a comparison. 
• If your Nozzle becomes blocked it should be soaked in clean, warm water with a mild detergent added if necessary, and carefully cleaned with only a soft brush (Toothbrush Recommended). 
• Never attempt to clear a nozzle by blowing through it by mouth.
• NEVER EVER attempt to remove stubborn deposits with pins, wire or other sharp implements. This will damage the inside of the Nozzle. 
• Always Clean the Machine with clean water after each days marking. 
• Remember, no matter how good the associated spray machinery, it is the nozzle quality and condition that determines just how effectively the Pitch Marking Paint is applied. 
• Always clean the Nozzle after each Days marking to ensure you encounter no problems on the Pitch.
• It is suggested to use an Inline Filter where the machine allows.
