• Always wear protective eyewear and gloves when using this sprayer to prevent contact with chemicals or pressurized liquids.
• Do not exceed the recommended pressure level. The integrated pressure gauge helps monitor the pressure.
• Regularly inspect the safety valve to ensure it functions correctly. The safety valve is designed to automatically release internal pressure in case of excessive pressure, protecting the user from potential risks.
• Handle with care to avoid sudden release of pressure. Depressurize the sprayer before opening or refilling.
• Do not use with flammable liquids, corrosive chemicals, or hot liquids.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Setup and Assembly

Your sprayer comes partially assembled. Follow these steps to prepare it for use:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Check against the parts list (refer to Image 1) to ensure all components are present.
2. Attach Hose: Connect one end of the hose to the outlet port on the sprayer tank and the other end to the spray wand's inlet. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
3. Attach Spray Wand: Securely attach the spray wand to the hose.
4. Install Shoulder Strap: If desired, attach the adjustable shoulder strap to the designated loops on the sprayer tank for easier portability.
5. Initial Inspection: Before first use, inspect all connections and components for any damage or loose parts.

Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Tank

1. Ensure the sprayer is on a flat, stable surface.
2. Depressurize the tank by pulling the safety valve or pressing the trigger on the spray wand until all air is released.
3. Unscrew the pump assembly from the tank by turning it counter-clockwise.
4. Pour the desired liquid into the tank, ensuring not to exceed the maximum fill line (2 Gallons / 8 Liters).
5. Carefully re-insert the pump assembly and screw it clockwise until securely tightened.

2. Building Pressure

1. With the pump assembly securely in place, grasp the pump handle.
2. Pump the handle up and down repeatedly to build air pressure inside the tank.
3. Monitor the pressure gauge. Stop pumping when the desired operating pressure is reached, or before it enters the red zone (if applicable) to avoid over-pressurization. The safety valve will release pressure if it becomes too high.

3. Adjusting the Nozzle and Spraying

1. Point the spray wand away from yourself and others.
2. Rotate the adjustable nozzle at the end of the spray wand to change the spray pattern. Turning it one way will produce a fine mist (foggy spray), while turning it the other way will produce a concentrated stream (water column).
3. Press the switch handle on the spray wand to begin spraying. Release to stop.

Maintenance and Storage

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

• After Each Use:

• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of silicone grease to the pump's O-rings occasionally to ensure smooth operation and prevent drying.
