WARNING

Check and test completed assembly

Serious injury could result from chemical leaks if sprayer is improperly assembled or the design of the sprayer is modified.

Follow the steps below to ensure the sprayer is properly assembled. Never modify the sprayer design.

1. Check assembly

Check assembly to assure the sprayer is properly assembled and in safe

 

working condition:

a)Check that the gun clip screws are tight, hose clamps are secure, and tank straps are properly fastened.

b)While it is unlikely that factory assembled components become loose, they should also be checked to make sure they aretight.

2.Test with water Test the system for leaks with water:

a)Fill the tank with water.

b)Connect the remote switch to the pump power cord and turn the remote switch ON. The pump is an “on demand” pump. When turned on, the pump will prime itself, then turn off. When the gun trigger is squeezed, the pump will automatically start.

c)Operate the spray gun by squeezing the gun trigger.

d)Check for leaks throughout the system. If a leak is detected, fix the leak and re-test the system with water.
