To ensure the long life of your sprayer, after every use thoroughly rinse the tank, funnel and pump when
cleaning your sprayer. Residual chemical can attack the seals, metal and TriPoxy coating.
Avoid chipping and/or denting of the inside and outside of the tank. Any exposed steel is prone to chemical
attack and can cause poor performance or even failure.
Never store sprayer with chemical left in the tank and thoroughly clean after each use. Seek out Chemical
manufacturer's instructions for specific chemical compatibility information.
