Assembly

1. Attach Shoulder Straps: Connect the padded shoulder straps to the designated attachment points on the sprayer tank. Ensure they are securely fastened. The straps feature a mesh-style material for comfort and breathability.

Operation

1. Filling the Tank:
   • Unscrew the main cap on the tank.
   • Use the included mesh strainer to prevent debris from entering the tank.

   • If adding concentrates, use the measuring cup provided in the smaller port.

   • For easier lifting, place the filled sprayer on a raised surface (e.g., a table or bench) that is about hip-high.
