- Preparation: Ensure the chemical sprayer is empty, depressurized, and disconnected from any power source before beginning installation.
- Remove Old Wand: Carefully unscrew or detach the existing wand from the sprayer's handle assembly. Note the orientation and any seals or washers.
- Install New Wand: Align the threaded end of the new replacement wand with the connection point on the sprayer handle. Screw it in firmly by hand. Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten.
- Check Connections: Verify that all connections are secure. If applicable, ensure any O-rings or seals are properly seated.
Operating Instructions
The replacement wand offers adjustable length and spray pattern for optimal use.
- Adjusting Wand Length: The wand can be extended from 12 inches (30.5 cm) to 20 inches (50.8 cm). To adjust, loosen the locking collar located on the wand, slide the inner tube to the desired length, and then tighten the collar firmly to secure it.
- Adjusting Spray Pattern: The brass nozzle tip allows for adjustment of the spray pattern. Rotate the nozzle tip clockwise for a finer mist or jet stream, and counter-clockwise for a wider, coarser spray. Test the spray pattern in a safe area before applying chemicals.
- Operation with Sprayer: Once installed and adjusted, operate the wand as per the instructions for your Bauer 3.5 L Cordless Chemical Sprayer. Ensure the sprayer is properly filled and pressurized before use.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your replacement wand and ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning After Use: After each use, flush the wand with clean water to remove any chemical residues. This prevents clogging and corrosion, especially with the brass fittings.
- Nozzle Cleaning: If the nozzle becomes clogged, carefully unscrew it and rinse thoroughly. A small brush or needle can be used to clear stubborn blockages, but avoid damaging the orifice.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the wand for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks, particularly around the brass fittings and adjustable sections.
- Storage: Store the wand in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
