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: 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.

HOW TO SPRAY
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.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

tightened all the way down.
HOW TO FILL
Unlock pump handle by pushing down and turning handle.
Do not unscrew pump cap or remove pump. 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.
• Use low pressure (fewer strokes) for a coarse spray.
• Use high pressure (more strokes) for a ne mist or a
long-reaching stream.
HOW TO PRESSURIZE
Pour measured amount of spray material into the open
tank. Follow label directions on spray material container
for amount to use.
