This demonstration guide answers one field question about open-toe footwear at the wand. Measurements come before parts, and the notes are not a generic equipment FAQ.
Diagnose before replacing parts
Start with PPE checklist. That reading separates open-toe footwear at the wand from adjacent faults that share the same complaint.
If the measurement is out of spec, treat the lance and boots as the primary path. If it is in spec, do not replace the lance and boots just to complete a parts list.
Repair the failed system
The usual correction is the lance and boots, installed to the documented spec for this complaint.
A demonstration shop records the finding so the next technician is not repeating a guess about open-toe footwear at the wand.
Stop before you make it worse
Do not testing nozzles by pointing at the floor near feet. That shortcut hides the original measurement and creates a second failure.
If the machine still fails after the lance and boots is corrected, convert the visit to a broader diagnosis rather than stacking parts.
