locking pin. (See figure 3). The round tube comes through the base of the unit and extends out 6.4mm (1/4”), exposing the hole drilled through the tube. Place on the other washer and the other holding pin. The pump handle assembly is now complete.

HIP SUPPORT

Take the black plastic hip portion and side the two end sections into the two receiving notches on the base, the rounded side up.

STRAPS

Hook the plastic clip attached to the shoulder straps into the appropriate lateral opening on the hip support.

SPRAY WAND AND NOZZLE

Attach spray wand to spray gun and firmly tighten. To adjust nozzle, tighten (turn clockwise), cap for a fine atomized spray, or loosen (turn counter clockwise), for a coarser spray or solid stream.

THE SPRAYER IS NOW READY TO USE.

NOTE

Hose clamps are not completely tight. Please tighten hose clamps prior to using.

Hose clamps are left loose to extend life of gaskets and fittings.

WARNING

Oil cap gasket before using and lubricate weekly so the gasket will seal properly and prevent chemical leaks.

Oil check valve and maintain breather hole clear of debris. Your failure to oil may can cause the tank to collapse and crack due to vacuum created by pump lubricate with "3 and 1" oil.

IMPORTANT

Before using, oil cap gasket, felt pump washer, and check valve, and maintain breather hole clear of debris. Your failure to oil, clean check valve, and maintain breather hole open to allow air into the tank, can cause the tank to collapse and crack, due to vacuum created by pump.

1.Before you remove cap, be sure there is no pressure in the tank. in order to release pressure, invert unit upside down and squeeze spray pistol (aim away from you). Pressure will escape; when hissing stops, all pressure has been released. Remove pump assembly by turning counter- clockwise. The pump handle has two locking positions, one turning clockwise and one counter-clockwise.

2.Remove cap.

3.A unit that has been used with herbicides should never be used to spray insecticides, unless the sprayer has been properly cleaned and all other chemicals neutralized. Failure to do this could cause you to kill plants that have been sprayed. Consult with the manufacturer of the chemicals in use to obtain proper instructions.

4.Always oil the gasket on the cap of the unit, as well as the check valve. This will extend the life of the seal and is important for obtaining a proper seal with no leaks.

5.Mix solution in a separate container, following the manufacturers’ directions.

6.Pour pre-mixed solution through strainer into tank. Reinstall cap tightly.

7.Place sprayer on back and pressurize tank by pumping approximately 5 to 11 times.

8.You will need to pump occasionally to maintain the desired spraying pressure.

9.For best results, the sprayer should be pumped every five seconds on a continuous basis. This will maintain your spraying pressure. If you do not pump, you will not have pressure to spray.
