5. Installation Instructions (Repair Procedure)

Follow these steps to replace the components in your SOLO sprayer's wand and shut-off valve. No specialized tools are typically required for this repair.

1. Depressurize the Sprayer: Ensure the sprayer is completely empty and depressurized before beginning any repair work. Activate the shut-off valve to release any remaining pressure.
2. Disconnect the Wand: Carefully unscrew the wand assembly from the sprayer hose or handle. Note the orientation of all parts as you disassemble them.
3. Disassemble the Shut-off Valve: Depending on your specific sprayer model, the shut-off valve may be integrated into the handle or at the base of the wand. Unscrew or unclip the components of the shut-off valve. Pay close attention to the order of seals, springs, and plungers.
4. Remove Worn Components: Identify and remove all old seals, O-rings, and any other worn internal parts. Compare them with the new components from the repair kit to ensure you are replacing all necessary items.
5. Install New Components:
   • Replace all O-rings and seals with the new ones from the kit. Ensure they are seated correctly in their grooves.
   • Install the new plunger and spring (if included and applicable to your model) in the correct orientation.
   • Lightly lubricate O-rings with silicone grease (not petroleum-based) if available, to aid in assembly and improve sealing.
6. Reassemble the Shut-off Valve and Wand: Carefully reassemble the shut-off valve components in reverse order of disassembly. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened securely to prevent leaks. Reattach the wand assembly to the sprayer hose or handle.
7. Test for Leaks: Fill the sprayer with water and pressurize it. Check all connections and the shut-off valve for any leaks. If leaks are present, depressurize the sprayer and re-check the installation of the seals and O-rings.

Proper installation of these components will restore the sprayer's performance and prevent liquid loss during operation.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your sprayer and its repaired components:

• Rinse After Use: Always rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after each use, especially when using chemicals. This prevents residue buildup that can degrade seals.
• Store Properly: Store the sprayer in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspect Regularly: Periodically inspect the wand and shut-off valve for signs of wear or damage. Replace components as needed using genuine SOLO repair parts.
• Lubrication: Occasionally apply a small amount of silicone grease to O-rings and moving parts to maintain flexibility and sealing effectiveness.
