SPRAYER COMPONENTS & USE INFORMATION, Continued
FILLING THE SPRAYER
Make sure the filter basket is in place to keep debris from entering the tank.
Determine the amount of mixture needed for your application. Add the proper amount of water to
the tank. Add the proper amount of chemical to the tank (check the chemical label for proper ratio of
chemical). Stir mixture in tank with a clean utensil (like a paint stirrer). The tank will hold the 4-gallon
(15.1L) capacity plus the chemical.
It is not necessary to completely fill the sprayer tank with each use. You can fill the tank with only the
amount needed for each application.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions included on their product label.

OPERATING THE SPRAYER

• Plug in charged battery
• Turn switch to on position
• Spray liquid back into tank to prime pump
• Close shut-off. Pump should stop running.
• Replace cap & begin spraying.
POWDER-BASED CHEMICALS
Powder-based chemicals (powder mixed with liquids to make the spraying agent) are usually
abrasive and can cause wear. When you use a powder-based chemical in your sprayer, make sure it
is thoroughly dissolved in the liquid solution. Thoroughly clean and flush the sprayer with water to
extend the life of the sprayers parts.
When finished spraying turn switch to off position.
Remove and re-charge battery.
Note: Unit is equipped with a battery protection circuit. If sprayer abruptly stops after spraying for an
extended period of time, the battery may require charging.
CLEANING
• Always empty the sprayer and clean the tank thoroughly after each use.
Other Cleaning Hints:
• Improper spray distribution usually means the nozzle is clogged, remove the nozzle and clean it.
• Soap can be added to the water to clean the tank.
• Do not use strong cleaning agents or abrasives.
• If you use a chemical agent to clean the tank follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the
disposal of the waste water.
• Follow the chemical manufacturers instructions for clean up.
STORING / MAINTAINING YOUR SPRAYER
The Battery Should be removed prior to storage.
• The sprayer should be stored out of direct sunlight in a cool dry space.
• Before freezing weather make sure to drain all liquid in the tank, pump, hose,
shut-off valve, wand and nozzle, to avoid liquid expansion and cracking in the sprayer components
(See "Cleaning" section). Lock the shut-off valve in the "open" position.
• When service is required call your nearest dealer and always insist on original manufactured
replacement parts.
• Inspect the hose, wand, tank and shut-off valve for wear, damage or leaks on a regular basis
and repair defects promptly.
