Operating Instructions
- Fill the Tank: Open the tank lid and carefully pour the desired liquid into the 4.2-gallon tank. Use the clear water level scale on the side to monitor the volume.
- Automatic Mixing Function: The sprayer is equipped with an electric mixing function, which activates automatically to ensure liquids are evenly mixed within the tank without manual stirring.
- Power On: Locate the power switch (typically a red/blue switch) on the sprayer and turn it to the "ON" position.
- Adjust Pressure: Use the adjustable PSI knob to set the desired spray pressure. The sprayer can provide up to 100 PSI. For delicate tasks like plant care, a lower PSI (e.g., 30 PSI) is recommended. For cleaning or wider coverage, a higher PSI can be used.
- Begin Spraying: Squeeze the trigger on the wand to begin spraying. The lockable switch allows for continuous spraying without constantly holding the trigger.
- Monitor Battery: The digital voltage display shows the battery status. If the voltage drops below 14V, the sprayer will automatically shut off to protect the battery and extend its lifespan.
- After Use: Release the trigger and turn off the power switch.

Maintenance
- Clean After Each Use: After each use, empty any remaining liquid from the tank. Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water.
- Flush the System: Fill the tank with clean water and spray it through the wand and nozzle for several minutes to flush out any chemical residues from the pump and hose.
- Clean Nozzles: Remove nozzles and clean them to prevent clogging. Use a small brush or pin if necessary to clear any blockages.
- Battery Care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Recharge the battery periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) if not in use for extended periods to maintain its lifespan. Avoid fully discharging the battery.
- Inspect Components: Regularly check the hose, wand, and all connections for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Replace damaged parts promptly to ensure safe and effective operation.
- Storage: Store the sprayer in a dry, protected area, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and freezing conditions.
