RE PERATION
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. Remove cap.
2. Mix solution in a separate container, following the manufacturers' directions.
3. Pour pre-mixed solution through strainer into tank. Reinstall cap tightly.
4. Place sprayer on back and pressurize tank by pumping approximately 5 to 11 times.
5. You will need to pump occasionally to maintain the desired spraying pressure.
6. 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.
7. 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.
