4. Operating Instructions

Operating your battery-powered sprayer is straightforward:

1. Fill Tank: Unscrew the lid and fill the 2-gallon tank with your desired liquid solution. Ensure not to overfill.
2. Secure Lid: Tightly screw the lid back onto the tank to prevent leaks.
3. Power On: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the base of the sprayer unit and flip it to the 'ON' position. The pump will activate.
4. Priming (if necessary): If the sprayer does not immediately produce a consistent spray, the pump may need to be primed. Hold the wand lower than the tank and squeeze the trigger until liquid flows consistently.
5. Spraying: Aim the nozzle at the target area and squeeze the trigger on the spray pistol to begin spraying.
6. Continuous Spraying: For extended use, engage the trigger lock mechanism on the spray pistol to maintain a continuous spray without holding the trigger.
7. Adjust Spray Pattern: Rotate the nozzle tip to adjust the spray pattern from a fine mist to a strong stream, depending on your application needs.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your sprayer:

• Cleaning: After each use, empty any remaining solution and flush the tank, hose, and wand thoroughly with clean water. This prevents chemical buildup and clogs.
• Battery Charging: Recharge the battery after each use. The included charger should be plugged directly into the sprayer overnight (4-6 hours) to ensure it's ready for the next use.
• Storage: Store the sprayer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For winter storage, ensure the tank and lines are completely drained to prevent freezing.
• Seal Replacement: Periodically inspect all seals and O-rings for wear and tear. Replace them with the provided spare seals as needed to maintain a leak-free operation.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your sprayer, consider the following:

• No Spray/Weak Spray:
  • Check if the battery is fully charged.
  • Ensure the pump is primed by holding the wand lower than the tank and squeezing the trigger.
  • Inspect the nozzle for any clogs and clean if necessary.
  • Check the hose for kinks or blockages.
• Leaks:
  • Ensure all hose connections and the tank lid are tightly secured.
  • Inspect O-rings and seals for damage or improper seating and replace if needed.
• Unit Not Turning On:
  • Verify the battery is charged.
  • Check the ON/OFF switch for proper engagement.
