PRE SPRAY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Filling the unit

• Unplug the unit.
• Disconnect the solution and recovery tanks.
• Remove the upper recovery tank.
• Add water and manufacturer’s recommended solution ratio into solution tank. Fill only to the fill line indicated on the label on the inside of the solution tank. The tank will hold up to 3.5 gallons.

The wand will come with two spray tip options. The lower micron size atomizing spray tip will already be installed on the wand. You will also get a higher micron fan nozzle as an option. This additional nozzle option will be taped onto the wand when you receive the unit. The installed atomizing nozzle is best for cleaning office areas, touch points, etc, as it does not saturate things like paper and boxes that could be found in offices, retail, hospitality, restaurant, educational type of environments. The attached additional fan nozzle spray tip is for application in areas like warehouses, shipping carts, etc., where there is not a worry that the items being sprayed could get oversaturated. This allows for a quicker application of the disinfectant to cover larger areas. Care should be taken when applying disinfectant in food areas. Be sure to read and follow the manufacturers instructions for disinfectant products.

1. BODY OF MACHINE – Wipe down with a clean, damp cloth.
2. POWER CORD – Regularly inspect sheath, plug, and cord anchorage for damage or loose connection. Only replace power cord with OEM specified replacement part.
3. SOLUTION FEED FILTER – The filter prevents clogging of the pump and spray nozzle and should be periodically cleaned.
4. NOZZLE MAINTENANCE – If the spray jets become clogged, remove and soak them thoroughly for an hour in a 8 to 1 ratio of water to white vinegar or antibranding solution, and blow-dry. Do not use wire or pins to clean the nozzles as this will cause the spray pattern to become distorted.
