Operating Instructions
Routine Maintenance
IMPORTANT: Perform routine maintenance on your sprayer before and after each use. Good maintenance practices will help to
guard against any unnecessary sprayer breakdowns or accidents.
Following Operation
1. Remove tank drain cap, and empty sprayer tank. Empty
remaining solution into an appropriated container for proper
disposal.
2. Thoroughly rinse the sprayer of any chemical residue. It is
recommended to fill the tank with at least two gallons of fresh
water and engage the spray gun and boom until the system
is entirely free of chemical residue. NOTE: Use individual
containers to catch water from spray tips. Properly dispose
of clean out fluid.
3. WARNING: Do not rinse the sprayer in an area if other humans,
animals, or sensitive plants are present and could come in
contact with chemical residue.
4. Spray all inside surfaces of tank with low pressure garden
hose to remove any remaining solution. Rinse several times
to make sure sprayer tank is clean and free of chemicals.
5. Replace drain cap and run fresh, clean water through
pump, sprayer wand and all hoses thoroughly.
6. Once the tank is empty, wipe out inside of sprayer tank
with a clean cloth or paper towel.
7. Fold in boom extensions, and remove sprayer from
utility vehicle.
8. Store the sprayer in a location where it will be away from
human or animal activity. Do not allow children to play
on or near the sprayer.
Maintenance Instructions
1. It is recommended to perform a visual and physical inspection
for worn parts, loose bolts, or other visible problems. Make all
necessary repairs before spraying. Contact the original retailer
for instructions on ordering parts and technical help.
2. IMPORTANT: Rinse the pump and all components by running
water through the system. Fill the tank with a sufficient
amount of fresh water and engage both the spray gun and
the boom. Rinsing the pump with fresh water will greatly
improve the life of the pump.
3. Always follow all pump safety precautions and warnings (See
page 5). Following these guidelines will help increase the
longevity of the pump.
4. Cleaning the Pump Suction Screen

The suction strainer (1) (Figure 1) located on the end of
suction hose should be inspected and rinsed off on a
regular basis.
•

detergent and warm water.
