FILLING THE TANK
See Figures 5 - 6.
WARNING:
Before filling the tank, always remove the
battery pack and ensure the battery cover is
closed. Wipe up any spills before inserting the
battery pack. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock and corrosive liquids en-
tering the battery pack, which can cause bat-
tery pack failure including short circuit resulting
in smoke, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always follow the chemical manufacturer's
instructions printed on their product labeling
for use, cleaning, and storage. Do not combine
chemicals. Clean thoroughly after each use,
following the instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Chemicals should be
stored out of the reach of children. Failure to do
so may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not allow conductive or corrosive fluids
to get inside the battery pack. If conductive
or corrosive fluids are spilled on the battery,
refer to the instructions in your battery opera-
tors manual.
When adding spray solutions, you may add water and the
desired chemical solution directly into the tank, or use a
solution that has been premixed in a separate container,
then poured into the sprayer, using a funnel if needed. For
either method, remember:
 Liquids used must be as thin as water. Thicker liquids will
not spray properly.
 Do not overfill the tank.
NOTE: If using a measuring container or funnel to fill the
tank, be sure to thoroughly clean and rinse these items after
use. If premixing the spraying solution, rinse the container
used for mixing.
To fill:
 Remove the battery pack.
 Unscrew the cap and remove it from the tank.
 Fill the tank with the desired amount of liquid (up to
4 gallons).
NOTE: To ensure proper operation of the sprayer, do
not fill past the max fill line.
 Screw the cap back onto the sprayer, making sure it is
tightened securely.
NOTE: Wipe the outside of the tank with a dry cloth and
clean up any spills.
 Reinstall the battery pack.
NOTICE:
It is important to thoroughly clean the unit after
each use. Allowing liquid to remain in an idle
tool for an extended period may cause its mov-
ing pieces and connectors to seize up.
