RedMax HM20 manual Pre-operation, Operation, HOW to Adjust the Nozzle

6. Pre-operation

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. Operation

•Always release pressure in the pump prior to filling, cleaning, or servicing the sprayer.

•Before opening a container of pesticide or other spray material, carefully read, understand, and follow all instructions on the label.

•Do not use flammable materials in the sprayer: they can ignite and/or explode, causing serious injury.

•Never use caustic or corrosive materials in the sprayer, which could result in damage to the unit.

•A single pumping session or 40 full strokes provides enough pressure to spray continuously for 10 mInutes - enough to completely empty tank with just two pumping sessions.

•If sprayer is fitted with pressure relief valve - this valve will release at 42 psi.

•Spray pistol may be locked in the open position for continual spraying.

■HOW TO ADJUST THE NOZZLE

•To adjust nozzle, tighten cap (turn clockwise) for fine atomized spray, or loosen (turn counter-clockwise) for coarser spray or solid stream.
