WHAT ARE THE CAPABILITIES OF YOUR SPRAYER?

A SprayMate® is a highly efficient sprayer that is suitable for spraying many kinds of water-soluble chemicals.
This includes fertilizers, pesticides, cleaning products, etc. With the included battery adapter, you can now power your sprayer using Milwaukee or DEWALT tool batteries already in your home. The Tornado results in 2-3x more efficiency than a manual sprayer. This 4-gallon unit sprays distances up to 25 feet.

4. The bottom strap can then be tightened once attached. Repeat Steps 1-4 on the other side.
   

5. Loop the top strap through the designated blow mold opening found on top of the tank.

6. Insert the top strap through the underside of the buckle and pull through completely.

7. Loop the strap back through the opening located on the upper side of the buckle.

8. Tighten once inserted by pulling upward on the strap and repeat on the other side.

9. To connect the padded strap to the lower strap, begin by inserting the lower strap through the upper side of the buckle.

10. Loop the strap over and through the buckle, the strap should come out underneath the tab on the buckle. Pull through to tighten.

11. Gather parts needed to install battery door cover: battery door (5), spring, pivot pin, screws (x2), clamps (x2). (6)

12. Set the spring inside the pockets of the battery door and align the spring with the pockets.

13. Install the pivot pin by inserting through the battery door and the spring pockets.

14. Place battery door (5) onto battery holster and firmly press into place. Push the pivot pin under and behind the teal hinge pocket.

15. One the battery door (5) is inserted, place the clamps as shown.

16. Place the screws into the clamps. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, screw into place to secure battery door.

19. Attach your nozzle of choice to the carbon fiber wand (10) by screwing the wand collar into the threads on the nozzle.

20. To change the TeeJet® style nozzle included with your sprayer, begin by unscrewing the cap from the 45° base.

21. Remove the TeeJet® style tip along with the o-ring gasket from inside the cap.

22. Insert your spray tip of choice, then place the o-ring gasket on top of the spray tip.

The wand can be placed in the holster until ready to spray.

PREPARING TO SPRAY

1. In a separate container, prepare the solution you want to spray according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Open the tank lid and carefully pour the solution through the intake filter. Securely tighten the tank lid.
2. Determine which nozzle is appropriate for your project. Attach the nozzle by threading it onto the carbon fiber wand.
   • Adjustable cone nozzle = adjustable conical mist to jet stream
   • 45º fan nozzle = angled flat fan spray
   •  0° pin nozzle = straight pin stream spray
3. Insert the Dewalt / Milwaukee battery into the provided battery adapter and insert into battery holster located underneath the battery door cover (5) of the sprayer tank and snap the cover in place.
4. Turn the pump on by flipping the power switch on the side of the unit.

Priming your spraye
NOTE: Although rare, when spraying for the first time or after storing the sprayer for an extended amount of time, the sprayer may need help priming. If the sprayer turns on and you can hear the pump running, but no liquid is passing through the sprayer, you will need to manually prime the sprayer according to the steps below:

1. With the sprayer off, remove the battery and make sure the battery cover is shut.
2. Remove the tank lid and take the tank strainer out to reveal the inside of your sprayer tank.
3. Locate the inlet filter at the bottom of the sprayer tank (See diagram 3 on page 14 for a visual representation). Gently wiggle the inlet filter until it comes apart from the pump connection. Set aside.
4. Using a garden hose or similar delivery method, rapidly run clean water into the connection where the inlet filter was.
5. Reinstall the inlet filter with the mesh screen facing the bottom of the tank, fill the sprayer with some water, and insert a charged battery. Test the sprayer by activating the spray trigger.

AFTERCARE

Sprayer maintenance
CAUTION: Failure to properly rinse out the sprayer may cause chemical residue build-up that can clog or damage internal and external components. Leaving chemical liquids in the sprayer when not in use can lead to premature wear and voiding of the warranty. Never store the sprayer with chemical inside.

1. With the sprayer off, dispose of extra product based on the manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse out any residual solution in the spray tank with warm soapy water. Then, spray fresh water through the sprayer for 3-5 minutes to clear the sprayer of chemicals.
2. Disconnect the spray gun from the hose and allow the hose to hang down towards the ground; draining the hose of liquid.
3. Throughly dry the sprayer tank and clear the nozzles and inlet filter of any build-up.
4. Store the sprayer in a dry, clean, and shaded place to protect it from extreme heat or frost.

Cleaning the inlet filter
NOTE: It is recommended you clean your inlet filter at least every other time your sprayer is used. Buildup at the inlet filter can cause damage to the pump and reduce spraying pressure.

1. With the sprayer off and battery removed, take off the tank lid.
2. Lift the tank strainer out of the mouth of the sprayer tank and set aside.
3. Reach into the sprayer tank and gently pry the inlet filter from the pump connection at the bottom of the tank.
4. Rinse the inlet filter with fresh water and get rid of any debris or particles.
5. Taking a clean cloth, wipe down the filter screen and dry the inlet filter. Reassemble the sprayer with the inlet filter and store the unit in protected area.
