Metering Tip Selection:

The ﬁ nal concentration of the dispensed solution is related to both the size of the metering tip opening, and the viscosity of the liquid being siphoned. For water-thin products, the chart can be used as a guideline. Because dilution can vary with water temperature and pressure, and if the product is noticeably thicker than water, dilution rates shown should be viewed as approximate.

Initial Setup (cont.)

The spray attachment is in the accessory box.

8. Attach it to the discharge hose. Remove the black cap from the water ﬁ ll port

9. (it rotates COUNTER CLOCKWISE to open). Fill the tank with cool, clear tap water. See Fig. D. To connect the chemicals, remove the ship-

10. ping cap and the seal on your chemical bottle and discard. Place the strainer and weight into chemical bottle and screw the chemical feed line cap on to bottle. See Fig. E.

Prime the Unit

Set the nozzle on the spray attachment to “S”.

1. See Fig. F. Set the chemical select valve to any valve posi-

2. tion. See Fig. G. Turn the power switch on. The pump should run

3. for a short time, then stop. (The pump will run until the discharge pressure reaches the factory set point. The pump will then turn off until the trigger on the spray attachment is activated.) Direct the spray nozzle into a drain or other con-

4. tainer and pull the trigger. Run until a steady spray pattern is established,

5. without air in the water stream.

Release the trigger. The pump should stop almost

6. immediately. If it does not, operate the unit longer as it is not fully primed. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for all of the valve positions.

Normal Operation:

The power switch is lighted when it is in the “ON” position.

1. The pump will run when the trigger on the spray attachment is pulled and stop when it is released.

2. The rollover valve on the outlet of the spray attachment selects between the two attached spray

3. nozzles. “S” should be used when applying either product, “R” is used for rinsing. The rinse is a ﬁ ne spray pattern, while the “S” is a pattern that is more coarse. Run the unit approximately 10 seconds to ﬂ ush prior chemical from hose.

NOTE: To apply either chemical you must use nozzle “S” for proper dilution.

Out of water/chemical indication:

When the system runs out of either water or chemical, air will enter the water stream and it will become “rough.” The pump may also continue to run when the trigger is released. Turn off the power immediately, ﬁ ll the water reservoir and/or replace the empty product container, and repeat the priming operation.

CAUTION: Continuous cycling of the pump (continuous, rapid on/off cycles) indicates a problem with the unit. Have the unit serviced immediately.

CAUTION: Do not operate unit while the charger is plugged into an electrical outlet. If unit does not operate unless plugged in, check that the battery terminals are connected (see initial set up proceedure on page 4).

Maintenance:

Daily:

When ﬁ nished using the pump for the day, run the pump two to four minutes with the select valve and

1. nozzle in rinse position, to purge chemical from the unit. See Fig. G. Set the nozzle to “S” (keep the select valve in the rinse position) and run for ten seconds.

2. Turn the unit off with the switch. Relieve the pressure in the discharge hose by pulling the trigger on the

3. spray attachment after the switch has been turned off. A small amount of water will discharge. Check the unit for any damage or leakage.

4. If the unit is going to be stored where it can freeze, drain the water reservoir and run the pump until there

5. is no more water in the system. Allow the system to thaw before you start the pump. Plug the unit into a 120 Volt outlet to recharge the battery. The indicator light on the charger will be red

6. while the battery is charging, and green when the battery is fully charged. Leave the charger plugged in during long term storage to maintain the battery at peak capacity. Note: It is not necessary to fully discharge the battery before recharging.

NOTE: Failure to follow this procedure after use will void the warranty on the pump.

Troubleshooting:

The spray is weak or there is no spray. The pump does not operate at full ﬂ ow if there is

air in the system. Air can enter the system from several sources:

Out of water - ﬁ ll the water reservoir and prime the system.

Out of chemical - replace the chemical container and prime the system.

Foot valve is clogged - clean or replace the foot valve in the reservoir. To access the foot

valve, remove ﬁ ll port cap. Pull water pick-up assembly out through ﬁ ll port. The foot valve is mounted on the end of the water pick-up assembly, and is designed to be removed without tools. See Fig. H. Leak in one of the ﬁ ttings. Remove the cart top and ﬁ nd the source of bubbles. Correct

the leak. Battery is low, check battery life indicator, if necessary, recharge.

Pump pulses. There is a pressure switch in the pump. If the pump is pulsing, this switch is

cycling and the life of the pump will be greatly reduced. Have the pump serviced.

Pump not running.

Battery is dead, recharge.

Loose battery connection, check that both terminals are connected.

Pump not priming.

Make sure the water feed line is untangled and lying at the base of the tank. Sometimes

feedlines become tangled in shipping and priming cannot occur.

Note:

- The pump does not contain any ﬁ eld serviceable parts. It should run for 800 to 1000 hours

with no maintenance needed. If leaks occur in the pump, it needs to be replaced.

- The pump is ﬁ tted with a non-adjustable, factory installed, regulator. This regulator is

preset at the factory and should not be adjusted.
