cleaning, or servicing the sprayer.

spraying is to be continued within hours, drain chemical
formula and thoroughly rinse the tank and all liquid
ducts.

time

rest. Limit the amount of time over which the product is to
be used continuously to somewhere around 30 ~ 40
minutes per session, and take 10 ~ 20 minutes of rest
between work sessions. Also try to keep the total amount of
work performed in a single day under 2 hours or less.
■ USING THE PRODUCT
Hose clamps are not completely tight.
Please tighten hose clamps prior to using.
Hose clamps are left loose to extend life of gaskets and
fittings.

gasket will seal properly and prevent chemical leaks.
Oil check valve and maintain breather hole clear of
debris. Your failure to oil may can cause the tank to
collapse and crack due to vacuum created by pump
lubricate with "3 and 1" oil.
1. Always inspect your sprayer thoroughly before and after
each use. Check to be sure hose is securely attached and
in good condition before pressurizing the tank.

• Watch out for children, pets, open
windows or freshly washed cars, and
spray safely away.
