- Make sure the valve in turned to the 'Open' position before restarting your pump.
- Remove the screen and clean as necessary. Replace when done and reassemble the entire assembly.
- Swing (swivel) the intake assembly towards you. Look in the nut you JUST unscrewed. There is a screen/washer there.
- Unscrew the knurled nut from the shut-off valve, leaving the valve connected to the tank.
- Shut the nylon valve to the 'Closed' position. (lever is perpendicular to the flow of fluid)
It is at this location so you can shut off the flow of solution, to access your system's screen, for cleaning.
A nylon shut-off valve is threaded onto the pipe nipple, at the intake location on the tank.
(see Detail Views) Reach in and rotate it, as needed, if not already in this position.

Your sprayer is equipped with (2) ON/OFF switches. One is on
the wire assembly that you hook up to your battery, the other
is on the pump itself, on the opposite end of the pressure
switch. The "-" is the "ON" position and the "o" is the "OFF"
position for the switches. Make sure both switches are
depressed in the "-" position for operation.
In addition to the ON/OFF switch, the pump is equipped with
an electronic pressure switch that is factory pre-set for it to
shut off at 60 p.s.i.. This switch assembly is the 'square box'
on the head portion of the pump.
Always fill the tank with a desired amount of water first, and
then add the chemical slowly, mixing as you pour the chemical
into the tank. You may use the handgun to spray into the
solution in order to mix the chemical and water.
Initially begin spraying by opening the handgun. This will
enable the air in the line to be purged through the handgun tip,
while building pressure.
The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the
strainer/filter, and to the pump. The pump forces the solution
under pressure to the handgun and/or boom nozzles.
Open the handgun by squeezing the handle lever.
•
Rotating the adjustable nozzle tip on the handgun will
•
change the tip pattern from a straight stream to a cone
pattern (finer mist).
