OPERATION
The pump on the sprayer is factory set to shut off automatically at a maximum of 60 PSI. The handgun may be shut off
at any time when the pump is running. The pump will shut
off when there is no discharge from the handgun.
The pumping system draws solution from the tank and to
the pump. The pump forces the solution under pressure to
the handgun.
It is important to test the sprayer with plain water before at-
tempting actual spraying. This will enable you to check the
sprayer for leaks in the plumbing system.
1. Open tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of foreign material. Fill the tank about half full with plain water.
CAUTION
PRESSURE SWITCH OPERATION
Pressure switch is pre-set at the factory. Improper
adjustment of the pressure switch, may cause severe overload or
premature failure. If the pump is subjected to rapid cycling during
normal operation, or infrequent periods, damage may occur.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves
if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time. Always
ush the pump after use. Do not allow chemicals to sit
in pump for extended times of idleness. Follow chemical
manufacturers instructions on disposal of all waste water
from the sprayer.
AFTER SPRAYING
After use, ll the sprayer part way with water, start the sprayer
and allow clear water to be pumped through the plumbing
system and out through the handgun. Use the handgun to
thoroughly wash all internal parts of tank and tank cover.
Rell the tank about half full with plain water and use a chemical neutralizer such as NUTRA-SOL or equivalent and repeat
cleaning instructions above. Flush the entire sprayer with
the neutralizing agent. Follow the chemical manufacturers
disposal instructions of all wash and rinsing water.
WINTER STORAGE
Drain all water out of the sprayer paying special attention to
pump, valves, and spray gun. These items are especially
prone to damage from chemicals and freezing weather.
The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pump-
ing a solution of RV anti-freeze through the entire plumb-
ing. Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of
the sprayer.
