MOTOR SWITCH
See Figure 4, page 12.
To spray, set the switch in the forward position. In forward,
the machine moves the fluid from the tank into the sprayer.
With the switch set in the reverse position, the machine
pulls the excess fluid back through the hose and into the
tank, leaving less fluid to clean up.
In the center position, the unit is off.
USING THE SPRAY WAND
See Figure 5, page 12.
To start the flow of liquid at the spray wand, depress the
trigger.
To stop the flow of liquid at the spray wand, release the
trigger.
To increase the flow of liquid from the spray wand, turn
the flow control knob counterclockwise.
To decrease the flow of liquid from the spray wand, turn
the flow control knob clockwise.
