1. Setup

Before first use, ensure all components are securely attached. The sprayer comes pre-assembled, but it's good practice to check the nozzle and pump mechanism.

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the sprayer from its packaging.
2. Inspect: Check for any visible damage or missing parts. Ensure the pump handle and nozzle are firmly attached.
3. Fill Tank: Unscrew the pump assembly from the translucent tank. Fill the tank with the desired liquid, ensuring not to exceed the maximum fill line indicated by the graduated markings.
4. Secure Pump: Carefully re-insert the pump assembly into the tank and screw it on tightly to prevent leaks.

2. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to effectively operate your handheld sprayer:

1. Pressurize: With the tank filled and pump assembly secured, pump the handle up and down repeatedly until resistance is felt and the tank is pressurized. Approximately 10-15 pumps are usually sufficient.
2. Adjust Nozzle: The brass nozzle can be adjusted to change the spray pattern. Rotate the nozzle clockwise for a fine mist and counter-clockwise for a jet stream. Experiment to find the desired spray pattern for your application.
3. Spray: Aim the nozzle at the target area and press the trigger on the handle to release the spray. Release the trigger to stop spraying.
4. Depressurize: After use, it is important to release any remaining pressure in the tank. Point the nozzle in a safe direction and press the trigger until all air has been expelled and no more liquid sprays out. Alternatively, carefully unscrew the pump assembly slightly to release pressure, then fully unscrew.

3. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your sprayer and ensure optimal performance.

• Cleaning After Use: After each use, especially when spraying chemicals, rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. Pump clean water through the nozzle to flush out any residue. This prevents clogging and corrosion.
• Nozzle Care: If the nozzle becomes clogged, unscrew it and clean any debris. A small pin or needle can be used to clear the opening, but be careful not to damage the brass.
• O-Ring Maintenance: The sprayer includes an additional O-ring. Periodically inspect the O-rings on the pump assembly for wear or damage. Replace them if necessary to maintain a proper seal and pressure. Lubricate O-rings with silicone grease if they appear dry.
• Storage: Store the sprayer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Ensure the tank is empty and depressurized before storage.
