The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the green LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGERS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

This manual contains important safety instructions for battery chargers.

- Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated Chapin batteries. Other types of batteries my burst causing personal injury and damage.

CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any build up of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual.

The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging designated Chapin rechargeable batteries.
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
- Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
- Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
- Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
- Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
- An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total lenght, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
- Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - have them replaced immediately.
- Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.

Take it to an authorized service center.

• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°-24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65^ F and 75^ F ( 18^-24^ C).

1. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
2. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
3. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, call 1-800-822-8837 for recycling information.

APPLICATIONS & USE FOR YOUR SPRAYER

Avoid using a sprayer for general cleaning purposes if plant protection or herbicide chemicals have already been used in the sprayer. If a sprayer has been used for plant protection or as an herbicide, clean the sprayer completely (see cleaning section) before using.

Plant Food: Use different spray patterns for optimum foliage feeding or for fungicide and pesticide application.

Herbicides: Reduce weeds and unwanted plants but avoid using the same sprayer for plant feeding or protection without thoroughly cleaning (see cleaning section) the sprayer first.

General Household Use: Apply detergents, cleaning solutions, warm water (do not exceed 120^ F/49°C) or nontoxic household cleaning chemicals for carpets, floors, walls, glass, counter tops and ceilings. DO NOT use sprayer that has been used with herbicides, pesticides or other toxic chemicals for household applications.

General Outdoor Use: Use the sprayer for cleaning windows or with a detergent for general purpose cleaning.

3 STAGE FILTERING SYSTEM

This backpack sprayer is equipped with a 3 stage filtering system (Figure 1-3). Stage 1 is a filter basket incorporated into the tank opening where fluid is added. Stage 2 is a filter integrated into the pressure chamber. Stage 3 is a removable filter incorporated into the shut-off assembly. Periodic cleaning of these filters is recommended to ensure consistent fluid flow through the sprayer. This will also reduce sprayer component wear.

To clean the stage 2 filter, point a heavy stream of water towards the filter to flush debris free. Turn tank upside down to empty water and debris. Repeat as necessary. If you are unable to remove the debris, removal of the entire pump assembly may be required. Please call Chapin customer service at 1-800-950-4458.

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.

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 liquid 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 up to 64 ounces of 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.

• Turn switch to on position.
• Remove tank cap.
• Spray liquid back into tank to prime pump.
• Release shut-off handle. Pump should stop running.
• Replace cap & begin spraying.
• When finished spraying turn switch to off position.
• Re-charge sprayer.

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.

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.

STORING / MAINTAINING YOUR SPRAYER

• 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.
