Assembly Instructions

Suggested Tools:
Allen wrench

NOZZLE/WAND ASSEMBLY

Attach nozzle to shut-off Valve or extension wand.
Screw nozzle assembly onto male threaded end of the extension wand.
Screw female threaded end of extension wand onto shut-off assembly. Tighten retaining nut securely

OPERATION

The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the strainer and to the pump.
The pump forces the solution under pressure to the spray wand.

The pump has a pressure switch which will shut the pump off when it reaches 60 PSI.

Regularly inspect the suction supply screen on the inside of the tank. Flush with water to clear any accumulated debris.

AFTER SPRAYING

After use, fill the sprayer part way with water. Start the sprayer and allow clear water to be pumped through the plumbing system and out through the spray wand.
Refill the tank about half full with clean water and a chemical neutralizer and then repeat cleaning instructions. Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing agent. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.

WINTER STORAGE

Drain all water and chemical out of sprayer, paying special attention to pump and valves.
These items are especially prone to damage from chemicals and freezing weather.
The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pumping a solution of RV antifreeze through the entire plumbing. Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of the sprayer.

SPRAY & PUMP FAQ

1. Why does the pump not run all the time?
   This is an on- demand pump and only runs with flow; spray wand, by-pass, spray tips or leak in system.

2. Why does the pump surge while using the spray wand?
   Low flow/high pressure may cause the pump to surge (or cycle). This could happen when the spray wand is adjusted for a small or fine spray pattern. To overcome, adjust the nozzle for higher flow.

3. How do I adjust the pressure?
   Pressure can only be adjusted by adjusting the nozzle.

4. My pump quit and will not restart – what should I check?
   Check all electrical connections. Ensure switch is in the on position. Check in-line fuse.
   Ensure correct voltage (12-13 volt).

5. Low flow or no flow at all – what should I check?
   Check for a clogged suction hose and/or suction strainer. Often you will need to clean the suction strainer. Check for proper voltage. Check filter in shut- off.

6. Is there a fuse for the sprayer?
   Yes, an in-line fuse, in the wire harness.

7. What size fuse should I use as a replacement?
   3.0 amp

8. What is the range of the spray wand?
   30 foot max

9. How should I clean the tank after use?
   • Rinse tank thoroughly with water only, empty, refill with water.
   • Empty sprayer by spraying no less than 1 minute to rinse out line. The remaining water can be drained per the drain plug.
   • Store sprayer tank upside down, in a warm dry location.

10. Can the spray tip on the wand be replaced with a different type of tip?
    Yes, however your wand comes with a #18 tip which is standard. Brass tips generally produce better spray patterns than plastic.

11. Each time I turn on the pump my fuse blows.
    • Excessive voltage
    • Improper adjustment of the pressure switch
    • Damaged wiring harness

12. What is the warranty (time duration) on pump, tank, and accessories?
    1 year after purchase.
