FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the flash arrestor?

The flash arrestor is designed to prevent external flames or sparks from entering the reservoir, significantly reducing the risk of ignition.

Can I use this can for non-flammable cleaners?

While it can function with other liquids, it is specifically engineered and safety-rated for flammable solvents.

How do I clean the internal components?

The dasher assembly should be wiped down periodically; avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the metal mesh of the flash arrestor.

Is the PC38 suitable for heavy-duty industrial use?

Yes, its durable construction and 3.8-liter capacity make it suitable for professional workshop and industrial environments.

What is the difference between the PC38 and the PC19?

The primary difference is capacity; the PC38 holds 3.8 litres while the PC19 holds 1.9 litres.

Troubleshooting

Dasher plate sticks or does not return to position

Check the spring mechanism for debris or dried solvent buildup and clean the assembly area.

Liquid level not reaching the surface

Refill the reservoir to the appropriate level and ensure the unit is on a level surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient one-handed operation
  • Enhanced safety with integrated flash arrestor
  • Reduces solvent waste and evaporation
  • Sturdy construction for long-term reliability

Cons

  • Larger footprint than the 1.9L PC19 model
  • Not suitable for non-solvent, viscous liquids
  • Requires manual cleaning of the dasher assembly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your PC38, ensure the unit is placed on a level, non-slip surface in a well-ventilated area. Before first use, inspect the flash arrestor to ensure it is free of debris. When filling, do not exceed the recommended capacity to prevent overflow during the pumping action. For maintenance, periodically wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and ensure the dasher plate moves freely without sticking. Always store the unit away from direct heat sources and incompatible chemical substances.
