Make sure hose is pushed all the way to the tank.

Hose Barb
1. Hose to Tank
To ensure the long life of your sprayer, after every use thoroughly rinse the tank, funnel and pump when
cleaning your sprayer. Residual chemical can attack the seals, metal and TriPoxy coating.
Avoid chipping and/or denting of the inside and outside of the tank. Any exposed steel is prone to chemical
attack and can cause poor performance or even failure.
Never store sprayer with chemical left in the tank and thoroughly clean after each use. Seek out Chemical
manufacturer’s instructions for specific chemical compatibility information.
CAUTION
3. Pre-Use Check
1) Do: Check tightness of hose nut to be sure hose is securely attached to the tank outlet.
2) Do: Inspect hose for deterioration, cracks, softness, or brittleness. If any of these conditions are
found, replace hose before using. Replace with original manufacturer’s parts only.
3) Do: Remove pump (see Filling, Pressurizing and Spraying Instructions), inspect interior and
exterior of tank for signs of deterioration of body and bottom. Any sign of deterioration indicates
possible tank weakening and could result in explosive bursting under pressure. If any of these
signs are found, discard tank immediately and replace. Do not attempt to patch leaks, etc., as this
could result in serious injury.
4) Do: Follow Filling, Pressurizing and Spraying Instructions, except use water only
(Pump plunger 10-20 strokes and inspect for leaks).
5) Do: Direct shut-off away from you and open to make sure discharge is not clogged.
6) Do: If unit passes this test, release pressure (see Pressure Releasing Instructions), empty tank,
and proceed with Filling, Pressurizing and Spraying Instructions.
7) Do: Inspect all metal parts including the wand, nozzle and fittings for rust, corrosion and pitting.
If any of these conditions are found, replace affected part with original manufacturer’s part
before using.
4. Filling
1) Do: Turn pump handle counterclockwise and remove pump.
2) Do: Prepare spray solution following all directions and safety warnings on chemical label.
3) Do: Fill tank to no more than the proper gallon marker. Do NOT: over fill to accommodate pump.
4) Do: Check pump to make sure that no grass or dirt is stuck to barrel. Replace pump in tank and
tighten securely.

only 8-10 strokes. Be sure that the wand and nozzle are thoroughly rinsed after each use.
2) Do: Open shut-off and allow recommended solvent to run through discharge assembly.
