HELPFUL SPRAYING INFORMATION
UseRAPIDpumpstrokestoprimethepump.Youwillknowthepressurechamberisfillingwithliquid
whenyoufeelfirmresistancefromthepump.Theairinthepressurechamberiscompressedfrom
repeatedstrokes.Bypressingthehandleverontheshut-o,thevalveopens.Forsafetylock-ofeature
(no-spraying),pulluponhandleandmoveredlockingmechanismintolock-opositionasshowninfig.

For easy pump action use the END of the pump handle. The amount of liquid delivered during spraying
dependsontherateofpumpstroke.Thefannozzletipisratedat.4gpmat40psi.Thisisthenominal
operating pressure of the sprayer.
Note:Ifyouexperiencearapiddropinpressure,drainthesprayercompletelyandpumpthehandle
withanemptytank.Thepressurechamberwillfillwiththerequiredvolumeofairtorepressurize.
Perform this procedure from time to time as routine maintenance.
POWDER-BASED CHEMICALS
Powder-based chemicals (powder mixed with liquids to make the spraying agent) are usually abrasive
and can cause wear. When you use a powder-based chemical in your sprayer, make sure it is thoroughly
dissolvedintheliquidsolution.Thoroughlycleanandflushthesprayerwithwatertoextendthelifeof
the sprayers parts.
CLEANING
1) Always empty the sprayer and clean the tank thoroughly after each use.
2)Pumpthesprayerhandleuntilallofthecontentsandairexitthroughthenozzle(minimumof
 30strokes).
3)Filltankhalfwaywithwaterandpumpthewateroutasexplainedinstep2(repeatseveraltimes
as necessary).
Other Cleaning Hints:
• Improperspraydistributionusuallymeansthenozzleisclogged,removethenozzleandcleanit.
• Soap can be added to the water to clean the tank.
• Do not use strong cleaning agents or abrasives.
• Ifyouuseachemicalagenttocleanthetankfollowthemanufacturer’srecommendationsforthe
