in this manual.

Turn on the power to the sprayer.
1. Verify the remote switch is connected to the pump power cord.

Note: The pump will start automatically when power is turned on. The
pump will cycle on and off as needed to retain pressure in the hose.
4. Begin agitation
if needed
Some formulations of liquid pesticides do not remain in solution and
should be agitated to maintain a uniform mix.
An optional pressure regulator/agitator (Item #2681032) is available for
use with sprayers 99916 and 99917, and should be used when spraying
pesticides classified as "flowable" ("F" or "L"), "wettable powder" ("WP"
or "W"), "emulsion" ("EC" or "E"), "microencapsulated" ("M"), or water
dispersible granules ("WDG" or "DF"). (See pesticide label to determine its
classification.)

accessories.
