OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
Filling the Sprayer:
WARNING: RISK OF DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE FROM IMPROPER
CHEMICAL USE OR MIXTURE. Never use flammable or combustible liquids, caustics, acids, or hot
water in this Sprayer. Spraying flammable or combustible liquids can create combustible fumes
that could be ignited by the electrical system in the Sprayer, causing an explosion. Always refer
to chemical manufacturer instructions for proper mixture. Always wear appropriate personal
protection equipment as instructed by chemical manufacturer when using, preparing, handling,
spraying, or disposing of chemicals. This includes at least goggles, gloves, and protective cloth-
ing.
CAUTION: RISK OF DAMAGE TO INTERNAL COMPONENTS. Use of chemicals other than water
based or water soluble solutions may damage the Sprayer and will void the warranty. Do not
operate the Sprayer without the In-Tank filter properly installed. Doing so could allow debris to
enter the Pump causing clogging or damage to the Pump.
This Sprayer contains two different filters: a Strainer Basket located in the top opening of the Tank to re-
move coarse debris such as leaves and grass, and an In-Tank Filter located inside the Tank at the bottom
to remove fine debris such as dirt and small particles. It is important to prevent debris from entering the
Tank as it will require more frequent cleaning and maintenance.
1. Inspect Sprayer, Hose, Shut-off, Wand, and all connections for damage before each use. A damaged
Hose or loose Hose connection can result in unintended exposure to the pressurized chemical, result-
ing in serious injury or property damage.
2. Test Sprayer with plain water before use with chemicals, prior to initial use and after prolonged
storage.
3. With the Sprayer on a stable surface ensure the Power Switch is in the OFF (O) position.
4. Remove the Battery from the Battery Compartment before filling the Tank. See Removing the Battery.
5. Unscrew the Cap and place it on a clean surface where it will not collect dirt, dust, grass clippings, or
other debris.
6. Remove the Strainer Basket and inspect it for debris. Clean the Strainer Basket if needed before filling.
Place the Strainer Basket on a clean surface where it will not collect dirt, dust, grass clippings, or
other debris.
7. Inspect the Tank interior for debris, and clean as needed. See Cleaning and Storage.
8. Check to make sure the In-Tank Filter is in place, the mesh is intact, and it is not clogged with debris.
See Servicing the In-Tank Filter.
9. Clean the In-Tank Filter if needed.
10. Reinstall the In-Tank Filter and Strainer Basket.
11. Follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions for preparing the chemical. Fill the Sprayer by pour-
ing liquid into the top opening and through the Strainer Basket, to the desired volume, according to
the volume graduation markings on the side of the Tank.
12. Clean up any spilled, splashed, or overflowed liquid on the Sprayer before inserting the Battery. See

Inserting the Battery.

Inserting the Battery:

use only Fountainhead Group Batteries that are in good condition and have not been damaged.
Do not use Batteries that are wet or have been damaged.
CAUTION: RISK OF UNINTENDED SPRAYING. Ensure that the Power Switch is in the OFF (O) posi-
tion and that the Shut-off is in the closed position (Lever released) before inserting the Battery.
The Sprayer will spray when the Battery is inserted if the Power Switch is in the ON (I) position and
the Shut-off is open (Lever depressed).
1. With the Sprayer on a stable surface set the power switch into the OFF (O) position.
2. Open the Battery Compartment by pushing down on the Door Latch located at the top of the Door,
and swing the Door open and downward.
3. Insert the Battery so that the Battery Button is facing upward and into the Battery Compartment.
4. Slide the Battery down into the Battery Dock so that it engages the Rails and slides in until it latches
into place.
5. Ensure the Battery is latched in place by lifting gently upward on the Battery. The Battery should not
lift up if properly latched.
