Hose clamps are left loose to extend life of gaskets and fittings. WARNING Oil cap gasket before using and lubricate weekly so the gasket will seal properly and prevent chemical leaks. Oil check valve and maintain breather hole clear of debris. Your failure to oil may can cause the tank to collapse and crack due to vacuum created by pump lubricate with "3 and 1" oil. IMPORTANT Before using, oil cap gasket, felt pump washer, and check valve, and maintain breather hole clear of debris. Your failure to oil, clean check valve, and maintain breather hole open to allow air into the tank, can cause the tank to collapse and crack, due to vacuum created by pump. 1. Before you remove cap, be sure there is no pressure in the tank. in order to release pressure, invert unit upside down and squeeze spray pistol (aim away from you). Pressure will escape; when hissing stops, all pressure has been released. Remove pump assembly by turning counter-clockwise. The pump handle has two locking positions, one turning clockwise and one counter-clockwise. 2. Remove cap. 3. 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 that have been sprayed. Consult with the manufacturer of the chemicals in use to obtain proper instructions. 4. Always oil the gasket on the cap of the unit, as well as the check valve. This will extend the life of the seal and is important for obtaining a proper seal with no leaks. 5. Mix solution in a separate container, following the manufacturers’ directions. 6. Pour pre-mixed solution through strainer into tank. Reinstall cap tightly. 7. Place sprayer on back and pressurize tank by pumping approximately 5 to 11 times. 8. You will need to pump occasionally to maintain the desired spraying pressure. 9. For best results, the sprayer should be pumped every five seconds on a continuous basis. This will maintain your spraying pressure. If you do not pump, you will not have pressure to spray. 7. Operation • Always release pressure in the pump prior to filling, cleaning, or servicing the sprayer. • Before opening a container of pesticide or other spray material, carefully read, understand, and follow all instructions on the label. • Do not use flammable materials in the sprayer: they can ignite and/or explode, causing serious injury. • Never use caustic or corrosive materials in the sprayer, which could result in damage to the unit. ¦ HOW TO ADJUST THE NOZZLE • To adjust nozzle, tighten cap (turn clockwise) for fine atomized spray, or loosen (turn counter-clockwise) for coarser spray or solid stream. ¦ HOW TO PREPARE YOUR UNIT FOR USE • 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. ¦ RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS FOR "LAWN AND GARDEN" OR "AGRICULTURE" USAGE.

Maintenance WARNING Before you remove cap, be sure there is no pressure in the tank. in order to release pressure, invert unit upside down and squeeze spray pistol (aim away from you). Pressure will escape; when hissing stops, all pressure has been released. Remove pump assembly by turning counter-clockwise. The pump handle has two locking positions, one turning clockwise and one counter-clockwise. 1. Remove cap and pour out remaining solution, then rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water. 2. Add 1/2 gallon of fresh water in tank. Pressurize, and flush pumping system by depressing trigger for at least two minutes; then drain all remaining water. • Periodically re-grease lid gasket as well as lid vent and pump cylinder, where applicable. • To ensure good performance, keep lid vent free of obstruction. Before and after each use, make sure all connections are well tightened. Service and replace worn parts as required. NOTE Failure to follow manufacturer's recommendation of use and care of unit will void any expressed or implied warranty. Do not use chlorine or clorox. It will permanently damage pump system.
