Here’s how to service and maintain your sprayer: Important TIPS and information
7
7a. Clean your sprayer each time you nish using it to help keep it trouble free.
1. When finished with job, spray away all the material in your sprayer or empty it into original spray material container.
2. Remove pump and add some clean water and a few drops of liquid dish washing soap.
3. Replace pump and shake tank to mix soap and water.
4. Pressurize and spray out soapy solution.
5. Release any pressure remaining and remove pump.
6. Remove hose and supply tube by unscrewing connection at tank. (No tools required)
7. Turn tank upside down and let dry.
8. Holding hose and spray wand up, open shut-off valve and let wand and hose drain.
Tip: Back-flush your wand, hose and supply tube with a garden hose for maximum cleansing.
A. 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. Do not store your sprayer with pump tightened in the tank.
B. The soft parts---O rings and gaskets will ultimately wear out and need replacing, just like the oil filter on your car. 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.
C. If you leave your sprayer in the garage over winter, particularly in the northern areas, the soft parts may dry out and need servicing before you use your sprayer for the first
time in the Spring. Lubricate soft parts with petroleum jelly before storing.
