Operating Instructions
- Pressurize the Sprayer: With the tank filled and pump assembly secured, pump the handle up and down approximately 10-15 times until resistance is felt. This builds pressure inside the tank.
- Adjust Nozzle: Rotate the nozzle at the front of the sprayer to adjust the spray pattern from a fine mist to a direct jet.
- Begin Spraying: Press the thumb-controlled shut-off lever on the handle to begin spraying. Release the lever to stop.
- 360-Degree Function: The sprayer is designed to operate effectively even when held upside down, allowing for spraying in hard-to-reach areas.
- Release Pressure: After use, or before opening the tank, always release the internal pressure by pulling the built-in safety valve (usually a small button or lever on the pump assembly) until all air has escaped.
