4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Filling the Sprayer
- Ensure the sprayer is turned off.
- Unscrew the wide-mouth cap from the top of the tank.
- Carefully pour your desired liquid solution into the tank. Do not overfill past the 2-gallon capacity.
- Securely replace the cap, ensuring a tight seal.
4.2 Priming the Pump
Before first use or after the tank has been emptied, the pump may need priming.
- With the tank filled, turn the sprayer on using the power switch located at the base.
- Point the wand into a safe area (e.g., a bucket or drain).
- Engage the trigger on the wand. It may take a few moments for the pump to draw liquid and begin spraying consistently. Continue holding the trigger until a steady spray is achieved.
4.3 Spraying
- Turn on the sprayer using the power switch.
- Hold the wand firmly and point the nozzle towards the target area.
- Press the trigger on the wand handle to begin spraying. The handle features a locking mechanism for continuous spraying.
- Nozzle Adjustment:
- Adjustable Brass Nozzle: Rotate the nozzle head to switch between a fine mist and a direct stream. This nozzle can achieve a spray distance of 15+ feet.
- Fan-Tip Nozzle: Provides a wide, even fan-shaped spray pattern, ideal for broad coverage.
- Release the trigger to stop spraying.
- When finished, turn off the sprayer using the power switch.
