APPLICATIONS & USE FOR YOUR SPRAYERSPRAYER COMPONENTS & USE INFORMATION, Continued O-ring Wand Retaining Nut Shut-off Valve WAND ASSEMBLY

1. Make sure the o-ring is installed on the end of the wand. Insert the wand into shut-off valve.

2. Turn and tighten the retaining nut clock-wise onto the shut-off valve.

The top of the shoulder straps are attached to the tank. Attach the lower end of the straps by clipping the strap hooks to the metal frame between where the frame exits the tank and curves around.

Stage 2(RemovableIn-Tank FilterPressure Cylinder This backpack sprayer is equipped with a 3 stage filtering system (see figure 1). Stage 1 is a filter basket incorporated into the tank opening where fluid is added. Stage 2 filter is located at the inlet of the pressure cylinder. Stage 2 is a removable In-Tank filter. Stage 3 is a removable filter incorporated into the shut-off assembly. Periodic cleaning of these filters is recommended to insure consistent fluid flow through the sprayer. This will also reduce sprayer component wear. The stage 3 filter is a removable filter incorporated into the inlet side of the shut-off valve (see section “disassembling and repairing the shut-off valve”) . Make sure pressure is released before detaching the hose from the shut-off. It is best to have no or minimal fluid in the pressure cylinder before removing and reinstalling the stage 3 shut-off filter as fluid can leak from the hose. Stage 3 (removable Shut-off filter) Figure 2 Stage 2 (removable In-Tank filter) Guide edge facing away from pressure cylinder Guide edge on pressure cylinder7E

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. SPRAYER COMPONENTS & USE INFORMATION, Continued CLEANING

• Always empty the sprayer and clean the tank thoroughly after each use. Other Cleaning Hints:

• Improper spray distribution usually means the nozzle is clogged, remove the nozzle and clean it.

• Soap can be added to the water to clean the tank.

• Do not use strong cleaning agents or abrasives.

• If you use a chemical agent to clean the tank follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the disposal of the waste water.

• Follow the chemical manufacturers instructions for clean up.

OPERATING THE SPRAYER

• Plug in charged battery

• Turn switch to on position

• Spray liquid back into tank to prime pump

• Close shut-off. Pump should stop running.

• Replace cap & begin spraying.

STORING / MAINTAINING YOUR SPRAYER

The Battery Should be removed prior to storage.

• The sprayer should be stored out of direct sunlight in a cool dry space.

• Before freezing weather make sure to drain all liquid in the tank, pump, hose, shut-off valve, wand and nozzle, to avoid liquid expansion and cracking in the sprayer components (See “Cleaning” section). Lock the shut-off valve in the “open” position.

• When service is required call your nearest dealer and always insist on original manufactured replacement parts.

• Inspect the hose, wand, tank and shut-off valve for wear, damage or leaks on a regular basis and repair defects promptly. POWDER-BASED CHEMICALS Powder-based chemicals (powder mixed with liquids to make the spraying agent) are usually abrasive and can cause wear. When you use a powder-based chemical in your sprayer, make sure it is thoroughly dissolved in the liquid solution. Thoroughly clean and flush the sprayer with water to extend the life of the sprayers parts. When finished spraying turn switch to off position. Remove and re-charge battery. Note: Unit is equipped with a battery protection circuit. If sprayer abruptly stops after spraying for an extended period of time, the battery may require charging.8E DISASSEMBLING AND REPAIRING THE SHUT OFF VALVE
