WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING: Improper use or failure to follow instructions can result in

explosive failure causing serious eye or other injury. For safe use of this product

you must read and follow all instructions. Do not leave a pressurized sprayer in the hot

sun. Heat can cause pressure build-up resulting in possible explosion. Do not store or leave

solution in tank after use. Always wear goggles, gloves, long sleeve shirt, long pants and

full foot protection when spraying. Never use any tool to remove pump if there is pressure

in the pressure chamber. Never pressurize sprayer by any means other than the original

pump. Do not attempt to modify this sprayer. Replace parts only with manufacturer’s

original parts. Never spray ammable, caustic, acidic, chlorine, bleach or other

corrosive solutions or heat, pressure, or gas producing chemicals. Always

read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions before use with this

sprayer as some chemicals may be hazardous when used with this sprayer.

SK 1158-1

• PRE-USE CHECK: Before each use check tightness of hose nut to be sure hose is

 securelyattachedtotheshut-oassembly.Ensurehoseissecurelyattachedtothe

tank by tightening hose clamp if necessary. Ensure that all nozzle and wand

connections are tight. Insure the large pump clamp is tight. Insure the 2 bolts

used to attach the pump lever to the pump shaft are tight.

• Do Not exceed a tank solution temperature of 120º F/ 49º C.

NOTE: The tank and hose may have residual water in it due to quality testing

performed on the sprayer.

Plant Food: Use dierent 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cleaningsection)thesprayerﬁrst.

General Household Use: Apply detergents, 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

INSTALLING THE PUMP HANDLE

The pump handle can be mounted on either side of the pump shaft (A). To

install the pump handle place the handle (C) over the shaft (A) aligning the

pump handle holes and shaft holes. Slide the bolts (B) through the aligned

holesasshowninﬁgure3.Tightennuts(D)tobolts.Thereareholesinthe

pumphandletoallowforeitherleft(ﬁg.2-4)orright(ﬁg.5)handmounting.

FILLING THE SPRAYER

Makesuretheﬁlterbasketisinplacetokeepdebrisfromenteringthetank.

Determine the amount of mixture needed for your application. Add the proper amount of water to the tank.

Add the proper amount of chemical to the tank (check the chemical label for proper ratio of chemical). Stir

mixtureintankwithacleanutensil(likeapaintstirrer).Thetankwillholdthe4-gallon(15.1L)capacityplus

the chemical.

Itisnotnecessarytocompletelyﬁllthesprayertankwitheachuse.Youcanﬁllthetankwithonlytheamount

needed for each application.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions included on their product label.

For easy pump action use the END of the pump handle. The amount of liquid delivered during spraying

depends on the rate of pump stroke. The fan nozzle tip is rated at .4 gpm at 40psi. This is the nominal

operating pressure of the sprayer.

Note: If you experience a rapid drop in pressure, drain the sprayer completely and pump the handle

withanemptytank.Thepressurechamberwillﬁllwiththerequiredvolumeofairtorepressurize.

Perform this procedure from time to time as routine maintenance.

POWDER-BASED CHEMICALS

Powder-based chemicals (powder mixed with liquids to make the spraying agent) are usually abrasive

and can cause wear. When you use a powder-based chemical in your sprayer, make sure it is thoroughly

dissolvedintheliquidsolution.Thoroughlycleanandﬂushthesprayerwithwatertoextendthelifeof

the sprayers parts.

CLEANING

1) Always empty the sprayer and clean the tank thoroughly after each use.

2) Pump the sprayer handle until all of the contents and air exit through the nozzle (minimum of

 30strokes).

3)Filltankhalfwaywithwaterandpumpthewateroutasexplainedinstep2(repeatseveraltimes

as necessary).

Other Cleaning Hints:

• Improper spray distribution usually means the nozzle is clogged, remove the nozzle and clean it.

• Soap can be added to the water to clean the tank.

• Do not use strong cleaning agents or abrasives.

• If you use a chemical agent to clean the tank follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the

disposal of the waste water.

• Follow the chemical manufacturers instructions for clean up.

STORING / MAINTAINING YOUR SPRAYER

• The sprayer should be stored out of direct sunlight in a cool dry space.

• Before freezing weather make sure to drain all liquid in the tank, lines and pressure cylinder

 toavoidliquidexpansionandcrackinginthesprayercomponents(See“Cleaning”)andlockthe

 shut-ovalveinthe“open”position.

• When service is required call your nearest dealer and always insist on original manufactured

replacement parts.

•Inspectthehose,wand,pump,tankandshut-ovalveforwear,damageorleaksonaregularbasis

and repair defects promptly.
