NOTES:
The suction line of your sprayer should contain a ‘siphon tube’ or intake tube which should be rotated so that it just touches the
bottom of the tank surface. (see Detail Views). Reach in and rotate it, as needed, if not already in this position.
A shut-off valve is threaded onto the pipe nipple at the intake location on the tank. It is at this location so you can shut off the flow
of solution to access your system’s screen for cleaning.
Checking/Cleaning the sprayer’s filter/screen:
Start your pump and before it shuts off, reach down and shut the valve to the ‘Closed’ position (lever is perpendicular
to the flow of fluid), then shut off your pump.
Unscrew the knurled nut from the shut-off valve, leaving the valve connected to the tank.
Swing (swivel) the intake assembly towards you. Look in the nut you JUST unscrewed. There is a screen/washer there.
Remove the screen and clean as necessary. Replace when done and reassemble the entire assembly.
Make sure the valve is turned to the ‘Open’ position before restarting your pump.
