Cleaning and Storage
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO CHEMICAL EXPOSURE. Use the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as
recommended by the chemical manufacturer and/or refer to the chemical Safety Data Sheet (SDS) of the chemical being used. This
includes at least goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.
CLEANING
1. Remove the pump from the tank.
2. Remove all unused chemicals from the tank.
3. Store or dispose of any unused chemicals as instructed by the chemical manufacturer due to the potential
for environmental damage from a spill or leak, and/or refer to disposal criteria referenced in the Safety Data
Sheet (SDS).
4. Use clean water to rinse any additional chemical from the tank and pump. Discard the water where any trace
amounts of chemical will have no effect.
5. Add clean water to the tank, insert and tighten the pump, and pump up the sprayer.
6. Point the nozzle in a safe direction, where any remaining chemical in the hose will have no effect, and spray
for at least 30 seconds to rinse out the entire sprayer and components.
7. Release the pressure in the tank and remove the pump.
8. Dump the water from the tank and drain it from the hose. Discard the water where any trace amounts of
chemical will have no effect.
9. If needed, the sprayer can be washed with warm water and mild soap.
10. With the pump removed, hang the tank upside down to drain and dry.
STORAGE
1. Once all components have dried, insert the pump into the tank and tighten loosely to keep dust and debris
from entering the tank.
2. Store the sprayer in a clean, dry area, where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or
freezing temperatures.
Maintenance
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO CHEMICAL EXPOSURE. Always ensure that all chemical has
been removed from the sprayer and the sprayer has been cleaned prior to performing any maintenance.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. Always release pressure from the sprayer prior to performing any maintenance. Disassembly of
a sprayer that is still pressurized may result in the high speed ejection of components.
At least once per season the O-rings in the pump and shut-off should be cleaned and lubricated with petroleum
jelly. Heavy use may require more frequent cleaning and lubrication.
