G6015 Wet & Dry Multi-Purpose Hose-End Sprayer
Instructions

CLEANING YOUR SPRAYER

It is important that you flush out your sprayer after each use. This is to ensure trouble-free siphoning action and reduce any contamination between concentrates.
Step 1: Remove concentrates from the bottle and filter basket and fill with clear water.
Step 2: Set the yellow dial to “8 OZ” and the gray flow adjustment to “DRY” and spray until the bottle is empty. Be sure to rotate the nozzle selector to flush any loose particles through each of the nozzle selections.
Step 3: Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to ensure a thorough flush.
If the sprayer has not been cleaned, the next time you use it, it may not siphon properly.
This means that some dried concentrate has clogged one or more of the openings in the mixing head or nozzle orifice. If rinsing does not clear the openings, then a pointed object may need to be inserted to break through the dried concentrate. Do this carefully in order not to damage any openings.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection that complies with current ANSI Standard Z87.1.
Do not spray during windy conditions or allow spray to reach people or animals.
Clean the sprayer and bottle thoroughly after each use to prevent contamination between different concentrates.
ATTENTION: This sprayer contains an internal backflow valve. When connecting to a potable water supply, always follow all local codes for proper backflow prevention.
Notice: Higher pressures from the source water supply may activate the internal backflow preventer while spraying. This may result in some residual water expressing from the hose connection point. This is normal and means the backflow valve is functioning properly.
Before using, read and understand the chemical manufacturer’s instructions and warnings as well as those in the sprayer instruction pamphlet.
Do not spray water into an electrical outlet. Severe electrical shock could result in death.
FAILURE TO HEED ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
The following parts are available separately.

Congratulations, you have just purchased the finest, most versatile hose end sprayer available.
This sprayer combines ease of use with multi-purpose functionality. A few minutes taken to read these instructions will assure you many years of trouble-free service.
It will Spray wet or dry (fertilizer or pesticide). This sprayer is designed to siphon water-weight liquid concentrates without pre-mixing. Thicker, more viscous liquids will require dilution with water before spraying.
It automatically blends the full-strength water-weight liquid concentrate with water as you spray.
Just set the mix ratio dial to the manufacturer’s recommended dilution rate for your concentrate.
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with your sprayer by referring to the exploded diagram and parts list.
Consists of four (4) components and (3) adjustment mechanisms

1. Sprayer head with lever valve for wet/dry/off switch and a dial for selecting desired mixing ratio.
   The switch should be in a wet or dry position depending on the chemical used when spraying. Set in OFF position when not in use and during set up.

2. Suction tube.

3. Strainer basket (with seal).

4. Poly concentrate tank.

5. Wet/dry-off switch (grey).

6. 4-position nozzle adjustment (deflection down, deflection up, shower, stream).

7. Mix ratio dial (yellow).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ALWAYS FOLLOW CHEMICAL LABEL DIRECTIONS
STEP 1: Be sure that the suction tube is inserted firmly into the sprayer head.
STEP 2: Put the dry product in the strainer basket, and then put the basket into the tank. Or put the liquid product in the tank directly by pouring it through the strainer basket ( always follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions).
STEP 3 : Screw the tank onto the sprayer head, the suction tube should go through the strainer basket hole.
STEP 4: Connect the water hose, and make sure the switch is on the off position. Select desired to-mix ratio. Turn the gray thumb control switch to wet if using a liquid product, and turn to dry if using a dry product.
STEP 5 : To stop, turn the switch to the off position. Turn the water off before disconnecting the sprayer from the hose and when refilling the tank.
To spray water only, turn the dial to the off position, and turn the switch to wet. https://chapinmfg.com/pages/technical-support-videos

SETTING AND USING SPRAYER:

Turn the yellow mix ratio dial until the desired setting number is shown within the curved notch. To help you determine the proper settings for your sprayer which is calibrated in ounces per gallon, note the following conversion table.

MIX RATIOS

• Setting
• OFF Water only
• 2 TSP per gallon
• 1 TBS / 3 TSP per gallon
• 4 TSP per gallon
• 1OZ / 2 TBS / 6 TSP per gallon
• 3 TBS / 9TSP per gallon
• 2 OZ / 4 TBS / 12 TSP per gallon
• 3 OZ / 6 TBS / 18 TSP per gallon
• 4 OZ / 8 TBS / 24 TSP per gallon
• 5 OZ / 10 TBS / 30 TSP per gallon
• 6 OZ / 12 TBS / 36 TSP per gallon
• 8 OZ / 16 TBS /48 TSP per gallon

IMPORTANT NOTE : This sprayer is designed to work most accurately at 40 to 60 pounds of water pressure. At lower pressures, the dilution rate of each set will be lower. At higher pressures, the dilution rate of each set will be higher. If your water pressure is not within the recommended limits, you should test the number of chemicals you are spraying at your desired setting.
TEST YOUR PRODUCT FIRST TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH TO SPRAY:
Set dial adjustment to the desired amount of concentrate sprayed per gallon of water. Fill the concentrate tank with the exact amount of chemical to cover the square footage per the chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
Example: 1 ounce for 10 square feet. Evenly spray and cover the desired 10 square foot area until the tank is empty.
Note: The water is the vehicle in which the chemical is being delivered. As long as you cover the desired predetermined area with the appropriate amount of chemicals the amount of water is inconsequential. Setting the mix ratio helps you control how quickly the chemical is delivered per gallon. (The higher settings deliver more product with less water.)
