CAUTION
Chemicals are hazardous and can cause
personal injury.
• Read the directions on the chemical labels
before handling the chemicals and follow
all manufacturer recommendations and
precautions.
• Keep chemicals away from your skin.
Should contact occur, wash the affected
area thoroughly with soap and clean water.
• Wear goggles and any other protective
equipment recommended by the chemical
manufacturer.
The Multi Pro
®
Sprayer has been specifically designed
to have high durability in order to provide the long
sprayer life you need. Different materials have been
chosen for specific reasons at different locations on
your sprayer to meet this goal. Unfortunately, there is
no single material which is perfect for all foreseeable
applications.
Some chemicals are more aggressive than others
and each chemical interacts differently with various
materials. Some consistencies (e.g., wettable
powders, charcoal) are more abrasive and lead to
higher wear rates. If a chemical is available in a
formulation that would provide increased life to the
sprayer, use this alternative formulation.
As always, remember to clean your sprayer and spray
system thoroughly after all applications. This will
ensure that your sprayer has a long and trouble-free
life.
Note:
If you have questions or need additional
information regarding the spray-control system, refer
to the Operator's Manual supplied with the system.

Filling the Spray Tank

Important:
Ensure that the chemicals you use
are compatible with Viton (see the manufacturer's
label; it should indicate if it is not compatible).
Using a chemical that is not compatible with Viton
will degrade the O-rings in the sprayer, causing
leaks.
Important:
The tank-volume markings are for
reference only and cannot be considered accurate
for calibration.
Important:
After filling the tank for the first time,
check the tank straps for any play. Tighten as
necessary.

Stop the sprayer on a level surface, stop the
engine, and set the parking brake.

Determine the amount of water needed to mix
the amount of chemical you need as prescribed
by the chemical manufacturer.

Open the tank cover on the spray tank.
Note:
The tank cover is located in the center of
the top of the tank. To open it, turn the front half
of the cover counterclockwise and swing it open.
You can remove the strainer inside for cleaning.
To seal the tank, close the cover and rotate the
front half clockwise.

Always use fresh, clean water in
the spray tank. Do not pour concentrate into
