SPRAYER COMPONENTS & USE INFORMATION, Continued
FILLING THE SPRAYER
Make sure the filter basket is in place to keep debris from entering the tank.
Determine the amount of mixture needed for your application. Add the proper amount of water to
the tank. Add the proper amount of chemical to the tank (check the chemical label for proper ratio of
chemical). Stir mixture in tank with a clean utensil (like a paint stirrer). The tank will hold the 4-gallon
(15.1L) capacity plus the chemical.
It is not necessary to completely fill the sprayer tank with each use. You can fill the tank with only the
amount needed for each application.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions included on their product label.
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-off, the valve opens. For safety lock-off feature
(no-spraying), pull up on handle and move red locking mechanism into lock-off position as shown in fig.
1. To disengage, pull up on handle and return red locking mechanism to neutral position as in fig. 3. For
lock-on feature (continuous spraying), push down on handle and move red locking mechanism into lock-
on position as shown in fig. 2. To disengage, push down on handle and return red locking mechanism to
neutral position as shown in fig. 3.
In the event that the handle becomes stuck in the lock-on (continuous spraying) position and the tank
pressure needs to be relieved, carefully open the tank and place the wand inside the tank until the
pressure is relieved.
LOCK-OFF POSITION
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.
