Operating Instructions

1. Prepare the Solution: Mix your desired liquid (water, fertilizer, cleaning agent) according to its instructions. Do not exceed the 16L capacity of the tank.
2. Fill the Tank: Unscrew the tank lid and carefully pour the prepared solution into the tank. Use a funnel if necessary to prevent spills. Securely fasten the lid.
3. Pressurize the Sprayer: Place the sprayer on your back using the shoulder straps. Operate the pump handle repeatedly to build pressure inside the tank. You will feel resistance as pressure builds.
4. Begin Spraying: Squeeze the trigger on the spray wand handle to release the spray.
5. Adjust Spray Pattern: Rotate the nozzle at the end of the spray wand to adjust the spray pattern from a fine mist to a direct stream, depending on your application needs.
6. Maintain Pressure: Periodically pump the handle during operation to maintain consistent spray pressure.
7. Depressurize After Use: After use, release any remaining pressure in the tank by holding the spray trigger until no more liquid or air is expelled.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, especially when using chemicals, rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. Pump clean water through the hose and spray wand to flush out any residue.
• Nozzle Cleaning: If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and clean it with water. A small brush or pin can be used to clear blockages.
• Storage: Store the sprayer in a dry, frost-free location, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the tank is empty and clean before storage.
• Seals and O-rings: Periodically inspect seals and O-rings for wear and tear. Replace them if they appear damaged to prevent leaks.
