TapeTech EZ Clean Pump Description The fast, light and dependable way to fill your TapeTech™ tools with joint compound. Gold anodized for added durability. Low friction components provide increased suction. Attachments allow filling of all TapeTech™ tools. Coarse and fine screens available. EasyClean™ feature. Operation With its two nozzles, the EasyClean® pump fills nail spotters, automatic tapers, flat boxes, and Corner Applicators. Either the filler or the gooseneck adapter is attached to the pump by aligning the slots of the adapter over the studs on the pump housing and tightening the two hex nuts. The gasket should be placed between the pump and the adapter, before tightening nuts, to prevent leakage. Place the EasyClean® loading pump in a standard five gallon pail, making sure the joint compound is well mixed and lump free. A new or fresh pump should be primed before use by pouring 1/2 cup of water into the outlet. Once the pump is full of joint compound, no further priming is needed. Maintenance The EasyClean® pump can be disassembled by disengaging the two clasps at the top of the pump and pulling the barrel away from the main pump body. The plunger can then be removed by disengaging the quick release pin and sliding the plunger through the pump housing. The pump can now be cleaned by using a water hose or water and a brush to remove the joint compound from the pump housing and plunger. Then, after the tool is clean, lightly oil with Ames® Bazooka® Oil or any other light oil. To keep your EasyClean® pump in top working order, you may need to replace the screen, gasket or o-ring on your pump. These items should be checked when you clean your pump.
