3 STAGE FILTERING SYSTEM
This backpack sprayer is equipped with a 3 stage filtering system (see figure 1).
Stage 1 is a filter basket incorporated into the tank opening where fluid is added.
Stage 2 filter is located at the inlet of the pressure cylinder. Stage 2 is a removable
In-Tank filter. Stage 3 is a removable filter incorporated into the shut-off assembly.
Periodic cleaning of these filters is recommended to insure consistent fluid flow
through the sprayer. This will also reduce sprayer component wear.
The stage 3 filter is a removable filter incorporated into the inlet side of the shut-off
valve (see section "disassembling and repairing the shut-off valve"). Make sure
pressure is released before detaching the hose from the shut-off. It is best to have
no or minimal fluid in the pressure cylinder before removing and reinstalling the
stage 3 shut-off filter as fluid can leak from the hose.

FILLING THE SPRAYER
Make sure the filter basket is in place to keep debris from entering the tank.
Determine the amount of mixture needed for your application. Add the proper amount of water to the tank. Add
the proper amount of chemical to the tank (check the chemical label for proper ratio of chemical). Stir mixture in
tank with a clean utensil (like a paint stirrer). The tank will hold the 4-gallon (15.1L) capacity plus the chemical.
It is not necessary to completely fill the sprayer tank with each use. You can fill the tank with only the amount
needed for each application.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions included on their product label.
