FOR YOUR SAFETY
Failure to observe cautions and follow instructions for
use and maintenance can cause tank, hose or other
parts to become corroded, weakened, and/or burst.
This can result in serious injury or property damage
from forcible ejection of parts or high-pressure
discharge of spray material. Do not use any flammables
or boiling liquids in this sprayer as it is not designed nor
intended for such use. Some spray materials can ignite
or explode. Do not spray in an enclosed space, near an
open flame such as found in a bbq grill or water heater,
near an electric motor or open switch, or any source of
heat. Do not smoke while spraying. Use of flammables
could result in serious injury or property damage from
unintended ignition or explosion. Do not use any
caustics or acids, bleach, or acetone in this sprayer, since
these can damage or weaken the sprayer and its parts,
resulting in serious injury or property damage. Keep out
of reach from children and pets. Always read and follow
directions on the spray material container, including
the need for protective clothing. Before using your
sprayer, thoroughly inspect both inside and outside of
the sprayer and if tank, hose or other parts appear to be
damaged, discolored, brittle, excessively soft or loose.
Do not pressurize with any mechanical device such
as an air compressor, since this can create dangerous
pressure and bursting of parts and result in serious
injury. Wear long-sleeved shirt, pants, gloves, goggles
or similar protective clothing when spraying. PROP
65 WARNING: This product can expose you to one or
more chemicals, including lead, known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

be sucked into the air intake. DO NOT overheat the
motor. Be sure air intake is kept open at all times.
DO NOT use this sprayer for paint spraying. DO NOT
spray gasoline or other flammables. DO NOT alter the
sprayer. DO NOT store checmicals in canister. ALWAYS
READ AND FOLLOW instructions for chemicals to be
applied. IF SPRAY PATTERN BECOMES IRREGULAR,
turn sprayer off, remove the intake strainer and clean
the screen. IF CORD BECOMES DAMAGED, it must
be replaced before further use. DO clean sprayer
thoroughly after each use.
SPECIAL NOTICE TO USERS
Damage in transit, wearing of nozzles or other parts,
temperature, altitude, climatic factors and manners
of use may effect the performance of this equipment.
Careful maintenance, approved calibration procedures
and repeated testing of output are necessary for safe
and satisfactory results. Users must determine that
the rate of application is proper for the chemical
being used and the conditions under which it is
being applied.
RL1952B OPERATION
Fill the canister with the desired amount of spray
material. Reposition the sprayer on canister top and
snap clamp so it fits tightly. Check the switch to make
sure it is "off" before plugging into a 110/120 volt
AC outlet. Once operating, the discharge rate of the
sprayer may be adjusted by turning the discharge
control.
Spray Adjustment: The RL1952B has an adjustment
range of 1.5 to 5.3 gallons/hr. Spray direction is variable
through all degrees between 35 upward
to 35 downward.
Wettable Powders: The RL1952B sprays wettable
powders at a maximum discharge rate of
5.3 gallons/hr. Preliminary testing is recommended to
insure that desired rate is obtainable. Shake or agitate
solution periodically to keep powders in suspension.
Spray Patterns: The RL1952B atomizes 95% of its
output of less than 50 microns. Average particle size
is 20 microns.
After Use:: To store the RL1952B or change spray
RL1026B
materials, detach the sprayer from the canister and
turn it "on" to flush out any spray material. After use
with wettable powders, detach the canister, immerse
the supply tube in clear water and flush until no
residue can be seen in the supply tube. Wash the
canister thoroughly. Sprayer should be cleaned after
each use.
RL1026B OPERATION
Fill the canister with the desired amount of spray
material. Reposition the sprayer on the canister
top and snap clamp so it fits tightly. Check the
spray selector valve on the tube that extends from
the motor housing to the tank cover plate and set
it according to the desired spray pattern. "Heavy"
setting is achieved with valve lever turned full left to
closed position. This covers the valve opening and
pressurizes the canister. "Heavy" setting produces a
dense wetting spray, ideal for application of residual
or surface type spraying. "Fine" setting is achieved
by turning valve lever full right to open position. This
opens the valve and allows air not utilized in spray
discharge to escape. "Fine" setting produces ultra
fine particles, ideal for flying insect control. Check the
switch to make sure it is "off" before plugging into a
110/120 Volt AC outlet for RL1026B. Once operating,
the discharge rate may be adjusted by turning the
discharge control at end of hose.
Spray Adjustment: The "fine" (unpressurized) setting
has an adjustment rate of 1.5 to 3.5 gallons/hr. On
"heavy" (pressurized) setting, the adjustment rate is
6 to 14 gallons/hr. Spray direction is variable through
manipulation of the discharge hose.
RL1952B
Wettable Powders: Preliminary testing is
recommended to insure that desired rate is obtainable.
Shake or agitate solution periodically to keep powders
in suspension.
After Use: When the unit is turned "off" after spraying,
siphoning action may continue for a moment, resulting
in a solid stream of spray material. To prevent this, tip
the nozzle up straight as you switch "off" the motor,
thus flushing any spray solution remaining in the
discharge line back into the canister. To store the
RL1026B or change spray materials, detach the sprayer
from the canister, immerse the supply tube in clear
water, and flush until no residue can be seen in the
supply tube. Wash the canister thoroughly.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean and dry your sprayer after every use to greatly
prolong its useful service life. Many spray materials
will harden if left in the sprayer and plug up the
nozzle, shut-off valve or supply tube. The soft parts,
O-rings and gaskets, will ultimately wear out and need
replacing, just like the oil filter on your car, for example.
How often they need replacing depends on how much
you spray, the spray materials you use and whether
or not the sprayer is regularly cleaned after use. Call
1-800-253-4642 or visit www.rlflomaster.com to obtain
genuine RL Flo-Master® replacement parts. If you leave
your sprayer in the garage over Winter, particularly in
northern areas, the soft parts may dry out and need
servicing before you use your sprayer for the first
time in the Spring.
