Cleaning and Storing
1. Do not store chemicals in the tank. If the chemical is stored in the tank, it can clog the system as it dries and
destroy the seals and other components.
2. To prolong its life, clean the sprayer after each use. After using water-based products, rinse thoroughly with
soapy water then clean water, being sure to flush out the hose and flow control. After spraying solvent or
oil-based products, follow the chemical manufacturers' recommended cleaning procedure, following up with
a thorough rinsing and flushing of the sprayer, hose and flow control with soapy water then clean water.
3. To store the sprayer, remove the complete hose assembly (hose w/siphon tube, wand, flow control) from the tank.
4. For proper drainage and drying, lock flow control lever on.
5. Loosen pump assembly, but leave in the tank.
6. Store all components in a clean, dry area.
