WARNING
Before assembling and operating your SURTEK
sprayer, read all instructions thoroughly. When
working with equipment under pressure, safety
precautions must always be carefully observed,
including the following:
• NEVER spray flammable materials or pressure and
gas producing chemicals such as sodium hydroxide.
• ALWAYS read chemical label before filling sprayer
as some chemicals may be hazardous when used
with this sprayer.
• ALWAYS wear goggles, gloves, a long-sleeve shirt,
long pants, and full foot protection when spraying.
Work in a ventilated area or outdoors. Prior to
any repair, clean the sprayer tank with water by
filling it and spraying the water in an appropriate
area outdoors or in a container. Make sure all of
the pressure is released by locking open the shut-
off valve. When you complete the repair fill the
sprayer tank with water and pressurize it to check
for leaks. DO NOT USE THE SPRAYER IF IT LEAKS.
Repair the leak and check the sprayer again.
• PRE-USE CHECK: Before each use check tightness of
hose nut to be sure hose is securely attached to the
shut-off assembly. Insure hose is securely attached
to the tank by tightening hose clamp if necessary.
Insure that all nozzle and wand connections are
tight.
• DO NOT leave a pressurized sprayer in the hot sun
or anywhere near a heat source.
• Heat can produce pressure to build up causing
sprayer to ignite or explode resulting in injury or
death.
• NEVER pressurize sprayer by any means other than
the original pump. Over pressurizing can cause
sprayer to explode resulting in injury or death.
• DO NOT attempt to modify or repair this product
except with original manufacturer’s parts.
NOTE: The tank and hose may have residual water in
it due to quality testing performed on the sprayer.
APPLICATIONS & USE FOR YOUR
SPRAYER
Avoid using a sprayer for general cleaning purposes
if plant protection or herbicide chemicals have
already been used in the sprayer if possible. If a
sprayer has been used for plant protection or as an
herbicide, clean the sprayer completely (see page 4)
before using.
Plant Food: Use different spray patterns for optimum
foliage feeding or for fungicide and pesticide
application.
Herbicides: Reduce weeds and unwanted plants but
avoid using the same sprayer for plant feeding or
protection without thoroughly cleaning (see pg.4)
the sprayer first.
General Household use: Apply detergents, vinegar,
cleaning solutions, warm water (do not exceed
120°F/49°C) or nontoxic household cleaning
chemicals for carpets, floors, walls, glass, counter
tops and ceilings. DO NOT use sprayer that has
been used with herbicides, pesticides or other toxic
chemicals for household applications.
General Outdoor use: Use the sprayer for cleaning
windows or with a detergent for general purpose
cleaning. Other applications include wood
preservatives, waxes, water proofing, and diluted
household bleach (max. 1 part household bleach to 9
parts water solution).
