5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the sprayer handle onto your equipment:
- Depressurize System: Before beginning, ensure that your sprayer tank is depressurized and empty of any liquids.
- Identify Connection Points: Locate the threaded connection points on your existing sprayer hose or wand and on the new Headerbs handle. The handle has both male and female threaded ends for versatile connection.
- Thread Connection: Carefully align the threads of the handle with the corresponding threads on your sprayer hose or wand. Turn clockwise to tighten. Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the plastic threads.
- Check for Leaks: Once installed, fill your sprayer with water (not chemicals for the first test) and pressurize the system. Check all connection points for any signs of leakage. If leaks occur, depressurize, re-tighten, or apply thread sealant if necessary.

6. Operating Instructions
The handle switch design allows for convenient one-hand operation and control over the spray output.
- Prepare Sprayer: Ensure your sprayer tank is filled with the desired liquid and properly pressurized according to your sprayer's instructions.
- Activate Spray: To begin spraying, firmly press the red lever on the handle. The liquid will flow through the nozzle.
- Control Flow: You can control the amount of spraying water by adjusting the pressure applied to the handle switch. Releasing the lever will temporarily stop the flow.
- Continuous Spray (if applicable): Some sprayer systems may have a locking mechanism on the handle for continuous spray. Refer to your main sprayer manual for details. This handle itself provides temporary flow control.
- Cease Operation: When finished, release the handle lever to stop the spray. Depressurize your sprayer system as per its instructions before storage or maintenance.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your sprayer handle and ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: After each use, especially when spraying chemicals, flush the handle and the entire sprayer system with clean water to prevent residue buildup and clogging.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the handle for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the plastic or threads. Check the red lever for smooth operation.
- Storage: Store the handle in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Lubrication: If the lever action becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points. Avoid petroleum-based lubricants as they may degrade plastic.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your sprayer handle, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking from connections | Loose connection, damaged threads, missing/worn O-ring (if applicable) | Depressurize system. Tighten connections. Inspect threads for damage. Replace O-ring if present and worn. Apply thread sealant if necessary. |
| No spray or weak spray | Insufficient system pressure, clogged nozzle (not part of handle), handle mechanism stuck | Check sprayer tank pressure. Clean the nozzle of your spray wand. Inspect handle lever for obstructions; clean and lubricate if stiff. |
| Handle lever is stiff or sticky | Dirt/debris buildup, lack of lubrication | Clean the handle thoroughly. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points of the lever. |
