The applicator requires minimum maintenance. Follow in detail the steps mentioned in this manual and the useful life of the equipment will be very long. At the
end of your spraying job, don’t leave the applicator with pressure, let all the pressure release through the nozzle, then remove the lid and the tank strainer
(backpack sprayer) or unscrew the pump handle (compression sprayer) and turn over the sprayer to empty the remaining solution in an appropriate container
for it. Now rinse the entire sprayer system with fresh water, as follows:
Pour ½ gal of fresh water into the tank and pressurize, flush the pumping system by depressing trigger at least 2 minutes, then remove the lid and the tank
strainer (backpack sprayer) or unscrew the pump handle (compression sprayer) and turn over the sprayer to empty the remaining water. Do this regularly and
it will prolong the life of gaskets and seals.
The carrying straps are made of non-absorbent material, however in case of spilling a solution you should wash the straps and tank with fresh water to
eliminate any possible risk of skin irritation.
Always follow the instructions for use of the products you are applying to avoid accidents and make the most of the product.
Always store the sprayer clean and empty in a dry place protected from the sun.
