FOR YOUR SAFETY
We manufacture some sprayers for a specific chemical
product use. Please read this manual in its entirety before
use or call us for clarification. 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. This sprayer is designed for
use with diluted acetone based solutions only. Acetone
is extremely flammable and this sprayer is intended only
or use by trained professionals. Do not use any other
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: This product
contains one or more chemicals, including lead, known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
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 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.
