It  is  always  recommended  that  you  first  test  all  spray  equipment  thoroughly  with  clean 
water. There are a few accessories available for Lightfoot Sprayers and each will have its 
own spraying characteristics due to the number and size of nozzles, the diameter and length 
of hose.  

The LIGHTFOOT may be supplied with a Spray Gun containing a large orifice blue adjustable 
nozzle, which when twisting the tip can allow for a greater flow of liquid. It is recommended 
that adjustable nozzle is used first and can be changed later if you require.  

1.

 

Be  sure  to  wear  safety  equipment  as  recommended  by  the  chemical  manufacturer 
before adding chemical to the sprayer 

2.

 

Check the filter is clean and undamaged (see Maintenance section). 

3.

 

Fill the tank with clean water. 

4.

 

Check all pipes, hoses, hose clamps and connections for leaks or damage. 

5.

 

Switch the pump ON. 

6.

 

The pump is self-priming and should start spraying within 30 seconds.  

7.

 

Check the hose connections for leaks if any are found stop the pump and rectify the 
problem before continuing.  

8.

 

If the pump begins to cycle on/off, you may require a different nozzle that is rated to 
allow  for  higher  flow  rates  at  your  selected  droplet  size  (alternatively  fit  a  pressure 
regulator for managing pressure and flow) 

9.

 

Once the nozzle is set and the pump operates free of pulsation/cycling, the sprayer is 
ready to be utilized. 

NOTE: PRESSURE REGULATOR IS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF TANK ON 12V SPRAYERS.
