FOR YOUR SAFETY
This sprayer operates with liquid under pressure.
Failure to observe CAUTIONS and follow instructions
for use and maintenance can cause tank, hose or
other parts to become corroded, weakened, and/or
burst. This can result in SERIOUS INJURY or PROPERTY
DAMAGE from forcible ejection of parts or high-
pressure discharge of spray material.
DO NOT USE ANY FLAMMABLES OR BOILING LIQUIDS
IN THIS SPRAYER as it is not designed nor intended
for such use. Some spray materials can ignite or
explode. Do not spray in an enclosed space, near
an open flame such as found in a BBQ grill or water
heater, near an electric motor or open switch, or
any source of heat. DO NOT SMOKE while spraying.
Use of flammables could result in SERIOUS INJURY
or PROPERTY DAMAGE from unintended ignition or
explosion. DO NOT USE ANY CAUSTICS OR ACIDS IN
THIS SPRAYER, since these can damage or weaken
the sprayer and its parts, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY
or PROPERTY DAMAGE. Keep out of reach from
children and pets. Always read and follow directions
on the spray material container.

1. Assemble Hose
a. Side to tank: Slide clamp into hose. Do not
use any kind of lubricant on the hose or fitting.
b. Push hose over fitting on pump. Place
1/4 inch from end to hose and tighten securely.
CAUTION! Failure to do so, can result in serious
injury from forcible ejection parts or high
pressure ejection of spray material.
c. Side to shut-off valve: Slide small shut-off valve
cap nut onto hose, threads face end of hose.

IMPORTANT: Be sure hose is all the way over the
barb! Tighten small cap nut to shut-off valve.

screw on tightly.
HOW TO PRESSURIZE
Unlock pump handle by pushing down and
turning handle. Do not unscrew pump cap or
remove pump. Using the handle, pump up and
down. The more you pump, the more pressure
you will build up inside the tank. When it
becomes difficult to pump, your tank has
reached maximum pressure. Do not stand so
your head is over pump.
• Use low pressure (fewer strokes) for a
coarse spray.
• Use high pressure (more strokes) for a fine
mist or a long-reaching stream.
HOW TO SPRAY
Squeeze handle to spray
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Visit www.hdhudson.com/FAQS
Clean and dry your sprayer after every use to greatly
prolong its useful service life. Many spray materials
will harden if left in the sprayer and plug up the
nozzle, shut-off valve or supply tube. The soft parts,
O-rings and gaskets, will ultimately wear out and
need replacing, just like the oil filter on your car, for
example. How often they need replacing depends
on how much you spray, the spray materials you use
and whether or not the sprayer is regularly cleaned
after use. Call 1-800-9-SPRAYER or visit hdhudson.
com to obtain genuine Hudson replacement parts.
If you leave your sprayer in the garage over Winter,
particularly in northern areas, the soft parts may dry
out and need servicing before you use your sprayer
for the first time in the Spring.
