FOR YOUR SAFETY
This sprayer operates with liquid under pressure.
Failure to observe cautions and follow instructions
for use and maintenance can cause tank, hose or
other parts to become corroded, weakened, and/
or burst. This can result in serious injury or property
damage from forcible ejection of parts or high-pressure
discharge of spray material. Do not use any flammables
or boiling liquids in this sprayer as it is not designed nor
intended for such use. Some spray materials can ignite
or explode. Do not spray in an enclosed space, near an
open flame such as found in a bbq grill or water heater,
near an electric motor or open switch, or any source of
heat. Do not smoke while spraying. Use of flammables
could result in serious injury or property damage from
unintended ignition or explosion. Do not use any
caustics or acids in this sprayer, since these can damage
or weaken the sprayer and its parts, resulting in serious
injury or property damage. Keep out of reach from
children and pets. Always read and follow directions
on the spray material container, including the need
for protective clothing. Before using your sprayer,
thoroughly inspect both inside and outside of the
sprayer and do not pressurize sprayer if tank, hose or
other parts appear to be damaged, discolored, brittle,
excessively soft or loose. Do not pressurize with any
mechanical device such as an air compressor, since this
can create dangerous pressure and bursting of parts
and result in serious injury. Wear long-sleeved shirt,
pants, gloves, goggles or similar protective clothing
when spraying. PROP 65 WARNING: Handling the
brass material on this product exposes you to lead, a
chemical known to the State of California to cause
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after use.

HOW TO PRESSURIZE
Seal the pump. Run water through garden hose to
remove excess air. Turn off water. Thread connector
onto hose. Push connector onto red adapter on tank.
Turn on water and fill to "MAX FILL" line on tank; shut
water off. Pull back collar on the quick coupler to
remove it from the sprayer. The air trapped inside the
tank has been compressed by the water and you are
ready to spray.
NOTE: If you release the pressure before using all
the spray material, use this conventional method
to repressurize sprayer. Using the handle, pump up
and down. The more you pump, the more pressure
you will build up inside the tank. When it becomes
difficult to pump, your tank has reached maximum
pressure. Do not stand so your head is over pump.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Visit www.hdhudson.com/FAQS
Clean and dry your sprayer after every use to greatly
prolong its useful service life. Many spray materials
will harden if left in the sprayer and plug up the
nozzle, shut-off valve or supply tube. The soft parts,
O-rings and gaskets, will ultimately wear out and need
replacing, just like the oil filter on your car, for example.
How often they need replacing depends on how much
you spray, the spray materials you use and whether or
not the sprayer is regularly cleaned after use.
Call 1-800-9-SPRAYER or visit www.hdhudson.com
to obtain genuine Hudson® replacement parts.
If you leave your sprayer in the garage over Winter,
particularly in northern areas, the soft parts may dry
out and need servicing before you use your sprayer for
the first time in the Spring.
