3. Setup Instructions

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure all components are present.
2. Assemble Spray Wand: Connect the spray wand to the hose. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection by tightening the fitting.
3. Attach Shoulder Strap (if applicable): If your model includes a shoulder strap, attach it to the designated points on the sprayer tank for comfortable carrying during use.
4. Prepare for Filling: Unscrew the pump assembly from the top of the tank by turning it counter-clockwise.
5. Fill Tank: Pour the desired liquid (e.g., water, non-corrosive fertilizer, or pesticide solution) into the tank. Do not exceed the 8L capacity mark. The wide opening helps prevent spills.
6. Secure Pump Assembly: Carefully reinsert the pump assembly into the tank and screw it clockwise until it is tightly sealed. Ensure the seal is firm to prevent leaks and allow pressure to build effectively.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Build Pressure: With the pump assembly securely in place, grasp the pump handle and pump it up and down repeatedly. Continue pumping until you feel significant resistance, indicating sufficient pressure has built up inside the tank. The integrated safety valve will automatically deflate air if pressure becomes excessive.
2. Adjust Nozzle: Twist the nozzle at the end of the spray wand to adjust the spray pattern from a fine mist to a direct stream, according to your application needs.
3. Begin Spraying: Point the spray wand towards the target area. Press the blue trigger on the spray wand to release the liquid.
4. Continuous Spraying: For continuous spraying, press the trigger and then push it forward to lock it in the open position. To stop, pull the trigger back.
5. Maintain Pressure: If the spray pressure decreases during use, pump the handle again to re-pressurize the tank.
6. Depressurize After Use: After completing your task, always depressurize the sprayer. This can be done by holding the trigger until all pressure is released, or by carefully activating the safety valve if your model allows manual release.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, especially when using chemicals, thoroughly rinse the tank, hose, and spray wand with clean water. Pump clean water through the sprayer to flush out any residue from the internal components and nozzle.
• 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.
• Check Seals: Periodically inspect all seals and O-rings for wear or damage. Replace them if necessary to maintain proper pressure and prevent leaks.
• Nozzle Care: If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and clean it with a soft brush or by rinsing it thoroughly. Do not use sharp objects to clear the nozzle, as this may damage it.
