ATTENTION
Please read the following information carefully. User must read and understand the entire manual before operating the sprayer. Failure to follow instructions or improper use could lead to sprayer failure and possible serious injuries.

• Never spray flammable, caustic, acidic, heat, pressure, or gas producing chemicals.
• Always read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions before use with this sprayer as some chemicals may be hazardous when used with this sprayer.
• Never leave chemicals or solutions sitting in your sprayer after using.
• After using sprayer with chemicals, it is important to spray with fresh water for 3-5 minutes to ensure residual chemicals in the gun, wand, tank, pump, and hose are cleaned out.
• Read and follow all instructions and cautions on label of products used in this sprayer.
• Do not store your sprayer in extremely high temperatures. Heat can lead to the build-up of pressure within the sprayer, resulting in a possible explosion.
• Do not try to make modifications to the sprayer. Always use FlowZone® branded replacement parts from the manufacturer.
• Do not use batteries that are wet or have been damaged.
• Inspect sprayer hose, power knob, wand, and gun for damage or loose connections before each use.
• Do not lift or carry the sprayer by the hose, or wand. Carry by the handle only.
• Only spray when the air is calm (no wind or air movement) to prevent chemical spray from drifting into unintended areas.
• Keep sprayer and all chemicals out of the reach of children.
• Remove chemicals and thoroughly clean the sprayer after each use. Failure to clean the sprayer may cause contamination of subsequent applications, will cause premature spray ware, and void the sprayer warranty.

This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the state of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm.

NOTES

• The sprayer may have residual water in it when first opened.
  This is due to quality testing every sprayer undergoes before leaving our factory.

• Some parts may be located under the tank lid when first assembling the sprayer.

• THIS SPRAYER IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH ONLY FLOWZONE® BRANDED BATTERIES. ANY OTHER BATTERIES COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM OR INJURY TO THE OPERATOR AND SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE SPRAYER.

When using chemicals, always wear protective clothing, including respiratory protection masks, gloves, eye protection, etc.

Do not dispose of Lithium-ion batteries with household waste; recycle where facilities exist.

OPERATING

• Do not allow familiarity with products to make you careless.
  Remember that a single moment of carelessness is sufficient to cause serious injury.

• Always wear eye protection with side shields when handling or operating this sprayer. Failure to do so could result in serious injury from chemical contact or flying dirt or debris.

• The Lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures down to 32ºF. When operating in cold temperatures, put the battery pack in the battery compartment and use the sprayer in a light duty application. After about a minute the battery pack will  warm up and begin operating normally.

• Always use the correct power setting for your application.
  Using the correct PSI and flow rate will result in a safer and more thorough treatment. For calibration resources please contact FlowZone® technical support. (Note: Always refer to local, state, and federal laws and regulations regarding your application.)

• Do not use the sprayer if the power switch is not functioning correctly. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Remove battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the sprayer. Disconnect the sprayer from the power source by removing the battery pack.
  These preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the sprayer accidentally.

STORING

• Store sprayer out of reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the sprayer. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain sprayers and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the sprayers operation.

SAFETY

• Use the sprayer and accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into consideration the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of this sprayer for applications that it was not intended for could result in a hazardous situation.

• Keep handles and lift points dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and lift points do not allow for safe handling and control of the sprayer.

• Risk of fire or explosion: Never use this sprayer with liquids such as gasoline, ethanol, methanol, or any other flammable or gas producing chemicals. Do not use sprayer around sparks, flame, or smoke. Failure to adhere to these instructions may cause  ignition, resulting in potential injury and damage to property.

• To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage from a short circuit, never immerse the sprayer, battery, or charger in fluids. Do not place or store sprayer where it could fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such  as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

• Electric shock hazard: Never spray toward electrical outlets.

• Spray area must be well ventilated to avoid hazardous fume buildup. Always refer to the product label of the chemical being used for safety instructions and proper use practices.

• Avoid spraying on windy days. Spraying in windy conditions could cause chemicals to be blown onto persons, plants, or objects that are not intended to be sprayed.

• Do not store chemicals in the tank. Chemicals can degrade seals and hoses. Drain and clean sprayer after each use.
  Failure to do so may void the sprayer warranty.

• Remove gloves before handling battery pack. Chemicals may be damaging to plastics.

• Thoroughly inspect the interior, exterior, and all components of the sprayer before each use. Check for cracked and deteriorated hoses, leaks, clogged nozzles and missing or damaged parts.
  If damaged, ensure the sprayer is repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poor maintenance.

• Always remove the battery pack from the sprayer before performing any maintenance, storing or draining of the sprayer.

• Do not eat or smoke while handling or operating the sprayer. Refer to the product label of the chemical being used for user safety practices.

• Do not use the battery compartment for storage.

• Always use common sense and be cautious when using the sprayer. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome. Do not use this sprayer if you do not understand these operating instructions or if you feel the work  is beyond your capability.

• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact FlowZone® Support.

   Always make sure to wear proper PPE when spraying chemicals through the sprayer.

BATTERY CARE

CHARGING AND STORING YOUR BATTERY

Please read the following information carefully. User must read and understand entire manual before operating this sprayer.
Improper use or failure to follow instructions could lead to sprayer failure and possible serious injuries.

These batteries have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries especially when wearing rings or jewelry could result in serious burns.

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another batter pack.

• Only use the battery pack specifically designated for the particular sprayer being used.
  Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns  or fires.

• If the battery is damaged, liquid can be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical help.

• Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• Do not use a battery pack or sprayer that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or sprayer to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265ºF (130ºC) may cause explosion.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or in a temperature outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

If after 2 hours during the charging process, none of the LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack form the charger to avoid damaging the product. DO NOT insert another battery.

AFTERCARE

PART C : MAINTAINING YOUR SPRAYER

1. Safely dispose of any extra product according to the chemical manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse out any residual solution in the spray tank with warm, soapy water.
2. Spray fresh water through the sprayer for 3 to 5 minutes to clear the tank and internal components of chemicals.
3. Disconnect the spray gun from the hose and allow the hose to hang down towards the ground; draining the hose of excess liquid.
4. Thoroughly dry the sprayer tank with a clean cloth and clear the nozzles and internal inlet filter of any buildup.
5. Store the sprayer in a dry, clean, and shaded place to protect it from extreme heat or frost. Never leave your sprayer exposed in the back of a vehicle.
   NOTE: For long-term storage, regular charging of the battery is required to maximize battery life. Check the battery level using the indicator lights every 4 weeks.
