FILLING THE TANK AND ADDING CHEMICAL 
Warning : Before using the sprayer for the first time or adding chemical check the operation and function of the 
sprayer with clean water 

Check that the battery power supply is charged, the filters are clean and all fittings, hoses and gun connections are tight. 
Partly fill the sprayer before adding chemical. Always use clean water to prevent blockages and ensure chemical function is 
not inhibited.  
Connect pump and ensure it primes correctly, holding the spray lance trigger on until it sprays steadily. 
Check all pipes, hoses, hose clamps and connections for leaks or damage. 
Be sure to wear safety equipment as recommended by the chemical manufacturer before adding chemical to the 
sprayer. 
 
Once satisfied that all hoses and connections are working and there is no leaks or damage. 
 
Add the chemical according to the directions on the chemical container following all safety and protective equipment 
recommendations. 
Do not use wet powders or chemicals that must remain suspended in solution and require agitation. Only use chemicals or 
dyes that fully dissolve. 
Do not use a sprayer that has been used to spray herbicides for insecticides or nutrients unless the sprayer has been 
thoroughly cleaned including neutralizing the herbicide according to the manufactured directions if required. 

PUMP HOSE ANCHOR 

 

We have supplied a Plastic Hose Tie to protect the pump housing or 
hose fitting from possible damage caused when the hose is pulled 
tight or over stretched. 

The hose can be tied against the switch 
bracket as shown in the diagram below, 
do not over tighten or kink the hose as 
this may restrict the flow. 

Maintenance 

Dispose of unused chemical and water used for rinsing in a manner that will not endanger 
people animals or the environment. 

After spraying rinse out the spray lines and tank with clean water. To avoid chemical contamination wear appropriate 
protective equipment including gloves whenever maintenance is carried out; turn off the pump and depress the trigger on 
the spray lance to dissipate any pressure. After spraying is completed, drain unused chemicals from the tank. Rinse the 
tank with clean water then operate the sprayer with clean water in the tank to clean out the pump, hose and spray lance. 
Do not leave chemicals in the tank as they may crystallize or form solids and block in pump, spray lines, nozzle or filters. 
A cleaning agent may be required to clean away residues of spray dies or other solutions that leave deposits in the pump 
and lines. 
 
The foot filter should be checked and cleaned if necessary each time the tank is filled.  Appropriate protective equipment 
should be used whenever maintenance is carried out. 
If heavy frosts are experienced, run the pump to make sure pump and spray lines are dry.  This will prevent water freezing 
in the pump or spray lines and damaging sprayer.
