Product Manual

We would like to congratulate you on the purchase of your new SP2. The sprayer that allows you the easiest, most comfortable way of carrying out
your farm and garden projects with the revolutionary sealed piston pump (patented), that all but eliminates the problems inherent in most sprayers.
As a new owner of the skillfully engineered SP2, we strongly recommend you carefully read and follow all the information on this sheet before use,
and then save for future reference.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE
1. Attach spray wand to spray gun and tighten firmly.
2. Take pump handle Kit 7 (solid) and insert into the tube on the pump lever Kit 5 ("T" shape lever on sprayer), you will notice holes drilled through
both sides of both the pump handle and the pump lever. Align these holes, take the "R" pin provided and place through the holes. This affixes the
handle in place and is ready for use. For storage reverse process and then place "R" pin through the pump lever Kit 5 to keep from losing "R" pin.
3. Instructions for installing shoulder strap plastic buckle:
First put the sprayer on a hard flat surface, take the white plastic buckle and while holding the sprayer up slightly, place buckle under the tubular
metal frame. Slowly push down forcing the frame into the buckle. Repeat the same procedure for other side.
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR UNIT FOR USE
1. Remove cap.
2. Mix solution in a separate receptacle, following manufacturers directions on the container.
3. Pour pre-mixed solutions into sprayer and cap.
4. Place sprayer on back and pressurize tank by pumping approximately 10 to 15 times. For best results, the sprayer should be pumped every 5
seconds on a continuous basis. This will maintain your spraying pressure. If you do not pump, you will not have pressure to spray.
5. Always oil the seal on cap of unit as well as the check valve, this will extend life of seal and is important for obtaining proper seal with no leaks.
6. 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.
HOW TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN
1. Remove cap and pour out remaining solution, then rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water.
2. Leaving approximately 1/2 gallon of fresh water in tank, pressurize and flush pumping system by depressing trigger at least 2 minutes, then
drain all remaining water.
3. Always store tank clean and empty in a dry, shaded location.

active ingredient.

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 of children and pets. Always read and follow directions on the spray
material container, including the need for protective clothing. BEFORE USING YOUR SPRAYER, thoroughly INSPECT both inside and outside of the sprayer
and DO NOT PRESSURIZE sprayer if tank, hose or other parts appear to be damaged, discolored, brittle, excessively soft or loose. DO NOT PRESSURIZE
WITH ANY MECHANICAL DEVICE such as an air compressor, since this can create dangerous pressure and bursting of parts and result in SERIOUS INJURY.
Wear long-sleeved shirt, pants, gloves, goggles or similar protective clothing when spraying. PROP 65 WARNING: Handling the brass material on this
product exposes you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after use.
