Maintenance
- Cleaning the Tank: After each use, especially when spraying chemicals, rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. Spray clean water through the wand and nozzle to flush out any residue. This prevents clogging and extends the life of the sprayer.
- Nozzle Maintenance: Periodically check nozzles for clogs. If a nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and clean it with water. Do not use sharp objects that could damage the nozzle opening.
- Battery Care: Store the sprayer with a partially charged battery (around 50%) if not used for extended periods. Recharge the battery every 3-6 months to maintain its health. Avoid completely draining the battery before recharging.
- Storage: Store the sprayer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Ensure the tank is empty and clean before storage.
