POWDER-BASED CHEMICALS - (Not reccomended for use with this model).
Powder-based chemicals (powder mixed with liquids to make the spraying agent) are usually abrasive
and can cause wear. When you use a powder-based chemical in your sprayer, make sure it is thoroughly
dissolved in the liquid solution. Thoroughly clean and flush the sprayer with water to extend the life of the
sprayer's parts.
When finished spraying turn switch to off position.
Remove and re-charge battery.
Note: Unit is equipped with a battery protection circuit. If sprayer abruptly stops after spraying for an
extended period of time, the battery may require charging.
CLEANING TANK
• Always empty the sprayer and clean the tank thoroughly after each use.
CLEANING FILTERS
• There are two (2) filters in your sprayer that need to be cleaned regularly. The first filter is located
in the body of the shut off assembly. The shut off assembly is the handle with the red grip and
trigger that you squeeze to create the spray. The second filter is in the tank, next to the pump.
Shut Off Assembly Filter
• Unthread the shut off assembly from the hose. In the body of the handle is a white filter.
• Remove the filter and soak in warm soapy water to clean any debris or chemical residue that
may be present.
• Once you have cleaned this filter you will reattach the handle to the hose.
In Tank Filter
• Looking inside of your tank from above you will see a black stick with a finger hole.
You can pull this stick straight up.
• Soak the filter in warm soapy water to clean up any debris or chemical residue that may be present.
• Once you have cleaned this filter, slide the filter back into place alongside of the pump.
Other Cleaning Hints:
• Improper spray distribution usually means the nozzle is clogged, remove the nozzle and clean it.
• Soap can be added to the water to clean the tank.
• Do not use strong cleaning agents or abrasives.
• If you use a chemical agent to clean the tank, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the
disposal of the waste water.
• Follow the chemical manufacturers instructions for clean up.
