IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR BATTERY PACKS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• DO NOT incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
• DO NOT charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte for Lithium-Ion batteries is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
• Charge the battery packs only in Chapin chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This may cause premature cell failure.
• DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 105^ [40°C] (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.

Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

FILLING THE SPRAYER

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 12-gallon (45.4L) 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.

• 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.

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.

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.

CLEANING

• Always empty the sprayer and clean the tank thoroughly after each use.
- Soap can be added to the water to clean the tank.
- Do not use strong cleaning agents or abrasives.
- Follow the chemical manufacturers instructions for clean up.

Other Cleaning Tips:

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

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

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.

Recycling Spent Battery

In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.
