Assembly 1. Preparatory safety Preparatory safety steps: • • • 2. Install handle ALWAYS use eye protection NEVER smoke or work near sparks or other sources of ignition. NEVER touch both battery terminals at the same time or with any noninsulated tools. • If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, flush immediately with water and neutralize with baking soda. Install Handle Assembly to Sprayer base using (2) Carriage bolts 5/16-18 X 2” and (2) T-Knobs which are supplied in the manual bag.
Assembly 5. Change nozzle if higher flow is desired If a higher flow nozzle is desired, remove current nozzle tip using the supplied wrench and replace with the green nozzle from the manual bag. Nozzle tip Selecting a nozzle: The blue tip delivers a very low flow rate with tiny droplets to cover surfaces with a fine mist. Because the flow is very low, spraying time is longer for complete coverage. Use when quick drying is required.
Assembly WARNING Batteries are hazardous because they contain caustic acid, can emit explosive gases, and can cause electric shock. Caution must be exercised when making connections to a battery to avoid shock and contact with the acid, and to prevent any sparking that could lead to an explosion. ALWAYS follow the safety instructions and steps listed below in exact sequence when connecting the sprayer's switch to the battery terminals. 9. 10.
Assembly Check and test completed assembly.
