Appendix A: Purge the Pump
Your Mistmaster contains an internal high-pressure pump that enables it to disperse a fine mist of any treatment
selected specifically for use in the Bask Mistmaster 3-in-1. When using your Mistmaster for the first time, you will need
to purge air from the pump. Properly purging air from the pump allows your Mistmaster to function at the maximum
pressure necessary for optimal performance.
To purge the pump:
1.
Remove the Fill Cap (1) by turning it counterclockwise. Under the Fill
Cap (1), you will find a removable strainer designed to prevent
debris (e.g., leaves, twigs, insects, and other foreign objects) from
falling into the tank. Leave the strainer in place. (Note: Remove the
strainer only when necessary to remove debris; always replace it
before pouring water or treatments offered by Bask into the tank.)
2.
Pour approximately 3 quarts of clean, potable water through the
strainer into the tank. When purging the pump for the first time, DO NOT add any chemical treatments. It is
not necessary to fill the tank all the way to the top.
3.
Replace the tank Fill Cap (1) by turning clockwise until the cap is firmly in place. The Fill Cap (1) and Vent (2)
reduce spillage in the event that your device tips over or is tilted at extreme angles during use.
4.
Power ON your Mistmaster
5.
Rotate the Selector (9) to the Blower position with the arrow pointing up and the bottom of the Selector (9)
covering the Auxiliary Output (11) located in the top center of the Control Panel (10).
6.
Locate the Mix Button (16) next to the Power Button (15) on the Control Panel (10). Press and hold the Mix
Button (16) for approximately one minute or until you hear a change in the pump motor effort. This change
signals that fluid has reached the pump.
7.
Place the device on a stable surface and again press and hold the Mix Button (16). Gently tilt and hold the
device at approximately 45 degrees angles in each direction for approximately 15 seconds for each direction
(forward, backward, left, right as illustrated below) while continuing to press the Mix Button (16). This motion
allows air to escape from the pump, maximizing the performance of your Mistmaster.
Tilt Forward
Tilt Backward
Tilt Left
Tilt Right
8.
Press and hold the Mist Button (4) until you observe the mist emerging from all four Mist Nozzles (7) and air
from the internal blower exits the device through the Flapper (8).
9.
Release the Mist Button (4) and observe that both the mist and the blower stop.
10.
Power OFF your Mistmaster.
