4. Fill Tank
Unscrew the large cap on top of the sprayer. The wide-mouth opening allows for easy filling. Use the integrated filter screen to prevent debris from entering the tank. Fill with your desired liquid (pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, disinfectants) up to the 16L (4.2-gallon) capacity mark. Securely close the cap to ensure a leak-proof seal.

Operating Instructions
1. Power On and Adjust Pressure
Locate the power switch and the adjustable PSI knob on the side of the sprayer. Turn the power switch to the 'ON' position. Use the adjustable knob to set the desired spray pressure. Higher settings provide a stronger jet, while lower settings produce a finer mist.
2. Select and Attach Nozzle
Choose the appropriate nozzle for your application from the included set. Each nozzle offers a different spray pattern (e.g., fine mist, wide coverage, direct stream). Twist the selected nozzle onto the sprayer gun until secure.
3. Begin Spraying
Hold the sprayer gun firmly and press the trigger to begin spraying. For continuous spraying, some sprayer guns may have a trigger-lock mechanism. Direct the spray towards the target area, maintaining an appropriate distance for effective coverage.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Tank
After each use, empty any remaining solution from the tank. Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. For best results, fill the tank with clean water and spray it through the nozzle to flush out any residue from the hose and sprayer gun. This prevents clogging and extends the life of the components.
2. Battery Care
Always store the 12V rechargeable battery in a cool, dry place. Recharge the battery fully after each use and periodically if stored for long periods to maintain its lifespan.
3. Storage
Store the sprayer in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the tank is empty and clean before storage. Disconnect the hose and sprayer gun if storing for an extended period.
Troubleshooting
If the sprayer is not operating as expected, check the following:
- No spray or weak spray: Ensure the battery is charged and properly installed. Check that the power switch is ON and the PSI knob is adjusted. Verify that the nozzle is not clogged and the hose connections are secure.
- Leaking: Tighten all hose connections and ensure the tank cap is securely fastened. Check for any damage to gaskets or O-rings.
- Pump not running: Confirm the battery has sufficient charge. Check the power switch.
