5a. Manually pressurize the tank by pumping until desired pressure is reached. Then, push the pump handle down
completely into the slots in the pump base and rotate the handle to the locked position (as indicated on the base). To
unlock the handle for further pumping or to remove the cap, press down slightly on the handle and rotate (as indicated
on the base).

(If optional Power Pack accessory is being used, refer to pressurization directions included with the Power Pack.)

NOTE: For proper operation, ensure that debris DOES NOT enter the
opening where the pump handle meets the pump base.

5b. Ensure that black nozzle nut is fully tightened, before adjusting nozzle cap.
Tighten cap for a fine mist spray or loosen for a coarser spray or a solid stream. (Figure 5a)

WARNING: Once a solid stream is reached, DO NOT continue loosening any further. Loosening cap
too far will result in the cap falling off, allowing spray material to spray back at you.

Pressurizing and Spraying

Figure 5b

The Green Gorilla® Premium Sprayer is equipped with a built in pressure relief valve
(Figure 5b). The pressure relief valve is part of the Easy-Twist Quick-Connect™ system
and will prevent the tank from becoming over pressurized. The pressure relief valve will
function with or without accessories attached to the tank.

If a hissing sound is detected through the pressure relief valve, the sprayer is over
pressurized. The pressure relief will reset automatically when the tank pressure is returned
to safe operating limits. The tank may become over pressurized by manually over pumping
or by increased pressure due to heating of the tank contents from environmental conditions.

NOTE: For proper operation keep pressure relief valve clean of dirt and debris.

At any time, you may manually release the tank's pressure by depressing the red pin in the
center of the Easy-Twist Quick-Connect™ valve. (Figure 4a) Always keep your face clear
of the Easy-Twist Quick-Connect™ and pressure relief valve when releasing pressure.

Filling Your Sprayer

4a. Before every filling, first depress the manual pressure relief valve on the Easy-Twist

Quick-Connect™ by placing your thumb on the red pin, fully covering the opening in
the center of the pin. (Figure 4a) Depress it firmly and hold to manually release any
pressure and then repeat several times to clear any debris and to ensure the pressure
relief valve is functioning properly.

DO NOT have your face near the Easy-Twist Quick-Connect™ valve whenever
releasing pressure, as debris could be blown back at you.

4b. Loosen the manual pump assembly by grasping the bottom of the handle. (Figure 4b)
Once loosened, fully unscrew the manual pump assembly by the pump handle or
pump base. (You may need to press down slightly on the handle to unlock it.)

4c. Mix spray solution in separate receptacle, following manufacturers' directions
for the spray solutions.

4d. Strain solution through fine cheesecloth or household strainer to remove particles
that could clog nozzle. Use any amount of liquid up to the tank's maximum capacity
(1½ gallons or 2½ gallons depending on sprayer model). DO NOT over-fill.

4e. Replace manual pump assembly and screw it back down by the base or handle till
you feel resistance. Finish tightening the pump assembly by grasping the base of the
handle, as pictured in Figure 4b, to ensure it is snug and has made a good seal.
Ensure that the pump handle is in the locked position before carrying.

NOTE: Sprayer should only be carried by the manual pump handle (when in locked position) or with approved
accessories. Never carry tank by the hose, spray wand, or unlocked pump handle.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR SPRAYER

Attach Spray Hose and Wand Handle Assembly to the Tank

1a. Feed the supply tube into the threaded hose port on the tank, until the o-ring

has engaged the inside of the hose port. (If necessary, apply a small amount
of liquid soap or petroleum jelly to the o-ring to aid in assembly.)

NOTE: Ensure that the o-ring does not roll up as you engage the hose port. If it
does, remove it and press back in. This should let the o-ring slide back into the
groove in the supply tube holder.

1b. Hand tighten the hose nut onto threaded hose port until snug.

NOTE: Never use tools to tighten connection nuts.
