Setup

  1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure you have the main tank, pump assembly, spray lance, and shoulder strap.

Operating Instructions

  1. Pressurize the Sprayer: With the pump handle assembly securely attached, pump the handle up and down repeatedly until resistance is felt and the tank is pressurized. Do not over-pump.
  2. Adjust Spray Pattern: The nozzle at the end of the spray lance can be adjusted by twisting it to change the spray pattern from a fine mist to a direct stream.
  3. Begin Spraying: Point the spray lance towards the target area. Squeeze the trigger on the handle to begin spraying.
  4. Use Trigger Lock: For continuous spraying, push the trigger lock forward while holding the trigger down. Release the lock by pulling it back.
  5. De-pressurize After Use: After each use, or before refilling, always release the pressure from the tank. Pull the safety pressure release valve upwards until all air has escaped. You will hear a hissing sound.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: After each use, especially when using chemicals, rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. Pump clean water through the lance to clear any residue from the nozzle and hose.
  • Storage: Store the sprayer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Ensure the tank is empty and de-pressurized before storage.
  • Check Seals: Periodically inspect all seals and O-rings for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain proper pressure.
  • Nozzle Care: If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and clean it with a fine brush or by rinsing under strong water pressure. Do not use metal objects that could damage the nozzle.
