Thank you for purchasing this compression sprayer. Like any quality tool, it should be
used and maintained properly. Here are important safety information and easy-to-follow
instructions that will make using your sprayer easier and more effective.
If you have a problem or question, call our CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT at 866-POND-
HELP (766-3435). Before you assemble and use your sprayer, read the following safety
information. It is helpful and important!
DANGER:
This sprayer operates with liquid under pressure. Failure to observe CAUTIONS and follow instructions
for use and maintenance can cause tank, hose or other parts to become corroded, weakened and/
or burst. This can result in SERIOUS INJURY or PROPERTY DAMAGE from forcible ejection of parts or
high-pressure discharge of spray material. DO NOT USE ANY FLAMMABLES IN THIS SPRAYER as it is
not designed nor intended for such use. Some spray materials can ignite or explode. Do not spray in an
enclosed space, near an open flame such as found in a BBQ grill or water heater, near an electric motor
or open switch, or any source of heat. DO NOT SMOKE while spraying. Use of flammables could result
in SERIOUS INJURY or PROPERTY DAMAGE from unintended ignition or explosion. DO NOT USE ANY
CAUSTICS OR ACIDS IN THIS SPRAYER, since these can damage or weaken the sprayer and its parts,
resulting in SERIOUS INJURY or PROPERTY DAMAGE.
CAUTION:
• Before using any pesticides or any other spray material in your sprayer, READ THE LABEL ON THE
SPRAY MATERIAL CONTAINER AND FOLLOW ITS INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIXING AND USE INCLUDING
THE NEED FOR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. Some spray materials are dangerous and should not be used
in this sprayer as they can damage the sprayer parts, or may be harmful to the user. This could result in
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY or PROPERTY DAMAGE.
• BEFORE USING YOUR SPRAYER, thoroughly INSPECT both the inside and outside of the sprayer. Be
sure the hose is securely attached to the tank and shut-off valve, and that the spray wand and nozzle
are attached and not damaged. A loosely connected hose, shut-off valve, spray wand or nozzle can
come off when sprayer is under pressure and cause SERIOUS INJURY or PROPERTY DAMAGE.
• DO NOT PRESSURIZE sprayer if tank, hose or other parts appear to be damaged, discolored, brittle,
excessively soft or loose.
• DO NOT PUMP or use sprayer with head or body over pump as pressure in sprayer can forcibly eject
pump if it is not properly locked in place, and this can cause SERIOUS INJURY.
• DO NOT
use hot or boiling liquids in sprayer since this may weaken or damage tank, pump or hose.
• DO NOT PRESSURIZE WITH ANY MECHANICAL DEVICE such as an air compressor, since this can
create dangerous pressure and bursting of parts and result in SERIOUS INJURY.
• Wear a long-sleeved shirt, pants, gloves, goggles or similar protective clothing when spraying.
• Do not leave residue or spray material in sprayer after use. It may damage or clog the sprayer
or its parts.
• Empty, clean and drain sprayer tank and hose after each use, according to directions.
• Do not smoke or eat while mixing spray materials or spraying, and wash up afterwards.
• Use only authorized replacement parts when servicing your sprayer. Other parts may not fit properly
or may be weakened by spray materials and fail under pressure, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY from
forcible ejection of parts or unexpected high-pressure discharge of spray material.
• WARNING: Keep sprayer and all spray materials away from children and pets.
• WARNING: Make sure you RELEASE ALL OF THE PRESSURE in the sprayer:
1. Immediately after each use, even if you stop spraying for just a few minutes.
2. Before removing pump, hose, spray wand or nozzle.
3. Before trying to unclog nozzle, spray wand, shut-off valve or house.
4. Before servicing sprayer in any way.
5. Before use when sprayer is left in the sun or other warm place for an extended period.
