F. STORAGE AFTER CLEANING
1. To store the sprayer, remove the complete hose assembly (hose w/siphon tube, wand, flow control) from the
tank.
2. For proper drainage and drying, lock flow control lever on.
3. Loosen pump assembly, but leave in the tank.
4. Store all components in a clean, dry area.
PUMP MAINTENANCE & DISASSEMBLY
To keep the pump working smoothly and efficiently, the plunger o-ring needs to be lubricated often by applying
grease or petroleum jelly around the outside of the plunger o-ring.
• Remove pump assembly from the tank.
• Unlock the pump handle and pull it out as far as it will go.
• With a flat blade screwdriver, push down on the tabs
on each side of the pump. Pull up and the handle
and the plunger assembly should come out of
the pump cylinder.
• To reassemble, insert the plunger assembly into
the cylinder and snap the cap back into place.
E. CLEANING
1. Do not store chemicals in the tank. If the chemical is stored in the tank, it can clog the system as it dries and
destroy the seals and other components.
2. To prolong its life, clean the sprayer after each use. Rinse thoroughly with soapy water then clean water, being
sure to flush out the hose and flow control.
