MAINTENANCE
Always depressurize the sprayer, remove all chemical solutions, and clean the sprayer before making repairs. Replacement parts may be purchased at the store where you bought the sprayer. For a list of replacement parts refer to. Cleaning and maintaining the machine After each use, clean the tank thoroughly. If the spray solution remains, properly dispose of it and drain the tank completely. Follow recommendations from the chemical manufacturer for proper disposal of the solution. Pumping causes air to be taken in, and the remaining liquid needs to be discharged. Pump until all liquid and air are completely discharged through the nozzle. Refill the tank with a few quarts of soapy water (a mild dish detergent is recommended) and discharge as previously instructed. If necessary, repeat this procedure several times to ensure that the sprayer is clean. Sporadic spray distribution is caused by a clogged nozzle. If necessary, remove and clean the nozzle.

Maintenance and storage
After use, the sprayer should be properly cleaned and stored away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage. Before storing for the winter, be sure that all liquid is completely drained from the tank, lines and air chamber. (Refer to the

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE SPRAYER
instructions above). Regularly inspect the hose, and pump tank for water, damage or leaks.
