AND NOZZLE
Pull sprayer, pump lever, pump handle, spray wand, plastic
bag (with washers and pins), etc. out of box. Place parts in
front of you. Take the pump lever, there are bends on either
side. (See figure 2). Place one washers through the bar, then
push lever through opening on pump, place washer on pump
lever and then place hairpin lock and push through.
On the same side where the pump is located, place the round
portion of the pump handle through the hole on the base of the
sprayer. When it is almost through, place the bent portion of
the pump lever through the hole on the flat portion of the
handel. Once through, place on one washer and then the
locking pin. (See figure 3). The round tube comes through the
base of the unit and extends out 1/4", exposing the hole drilled
through the tube. Place on the other washer and the other
holding pin. The pump handle assembly is now complete.
Hook the plastic clip attached to the shoulder straps into the appropriate lateral
opening on the base of unit.
Attach spray wand to spray gun and firmly tighten. To adjust nozzle, tighten (turn
clockwise), cap for a fine atomized spray, or loosen (turn counter-clockwise), for a
coarser spray or solid stream.
THE SPRAYER IS NOW READY TO USE.
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR UNIT FOR USE:
1. Always oil the seal inside the cap of unit before using, as well as the check valve. This will extend life
of seal, and it is important for obtaining a leakproff barrier.
A unit that has been used with herbicides should never be used to spray insecticides, unless the sprayer has

been properly cleaned and all other chemicals neutralized. Failure to do this could cause you to kill plants
sprayed.
Remove cap.
3.
Mix solution in a separate receptacle, following manufacturer's directions on the container.
4.
Pour pre-mixed solution into sprayer and fasten cap securely.
5.
Place sprayer on back and pressurize by pumping approximately 5 to 11 times.

Normal working pressure should be from 25 psi to 40 psi. Too much pressure will waist chemical and over

apply, as well as causing potential damage to pump tube.
Pump occasionally to maintain the desired spraying pressure.
8.
For accurate measured spray output, ask a distributor or dealer about the miniature regulator with gauge (Kit B40).
With proper application of chemicals, the monies saved will pay for the regulator.
HOW TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN:
1.
Remove cap and pour out any remaining spray solution. Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water.
2.
Leaving approximately one gallon of fresh water in the tank, pressurize and flush pumping system by
depressing trigger for at least 2 minutes. Then drain all remaining water from tank, and repeat this process
two times. To properly neutralize chemicals, a neutralizing solution mentioned in the "Trouble-Shooting" guide
should be used.
3.
Always store tank clean and empty in a dry shaded location.
HOW TO CHANGE OUT THE PUMP PISTON:
1. Pull pump module out of sprayer, empty pump and wipe clean. Turn pump module upside down. Piston is held
in by a plastic screw, turn counter clockwise to unscrew. Remove old piston, place new piston on the plastic
support piece. Put piston in place and hand tighten the screw. Make sure not to lose the stainless steel or plastic
ball inside the pump module.
