A slow blow fuse controls the flow of energy from the battery to power the electrical functions of your Mistmaster and
protects the charge port.
To optimize battery life:
Battery life will vary due to many factors, such as ambient temperature, age, usage, cycling, and the amount of time the
battery is maintained on its charger. For optimal battery life:
•Charge battery for 24 hours prior to first use.
•Always maintain your Mistmaster on the charger when not in use. Your Mistmaster battery has a built-in
battery management system that will not allow it to overcharge.
•Use only the charger and charger extender provided by Bask.
•If you must store your Mistmaster without leaving it plugged in to the Battery Charger and an AC power
source, plug it in periodically (at least every 4 to 6 months) to refresh the battery’s charge. When storing,
always power OFF your Mistmaster.
Sleep Mode:
The Mistmaster is designed with a sleep mode feature to optimize battery life and performance. Your device is
designed to be plugged into a charger at all times when not in use. If the device is left off of its charger for 24
hours, it will go into sleep mode to preserve its battery life and performance. When in sleep mode, the Mist

wake the device for use simply cycle the Power Button (15) by pressing the Power Button (15) twice. It is
important to return the device to its charger after use and while not in use.
If the two outer indicators on your Mistmaster are flashing, recharge the battery. If the battery cannot be recharged
and the fuse is good (the metal wire in the middle of the glass is not broken and there is no burnt on the glass itself),
the battery has reached the end of its charging life and must be replaced. Contact Bask at 1-888-814-BASK or
info@bask-solutions.com to replace the battery under the terms of your Limited Warranty or to order a replacement
battery.

STEP 3. Purge the Pump
Your Mistmaster contains an internal high-pressure pump that enables it to disperse a fine mist of any treatment
selected specifically for use in the Bask Mistmaster 3-in-1. When using your Mistmaster for the first time, you will need
to purge air from the pump. Properly purging air from the pump allows your Mistmaster to function at the maximum
pressure necessary for optimal performance.
WARNING –DO NOT MODIFY
Do not modify the internal pump (or any other component of your Mistmaster) in any manner.
To purge the pump:
1. Remove the Fill Cap (1) by turning it counterclockwise. Under the
Fill Cap (1), you will find a removable strainer designed to prevent
debris (e.g., leaves, twigs, insects, and other foreign objects) from
falling into the tank. Leave the strainer in place. (Note: Remove the
strainer only when necessary to remove debris; always replace it
before pouring water or treatments offered by Bask into the tank.)
2. Pour approximately 3 quarts of clean, potable water through the strainer into the tank. When purging the
pump for the first time, DO NOT add any chemical treatments. It is not necessary to fill the tank all the way to
the top.
3. Replace the tank Fill Cap (1) by turning clockwise until the cap is firmly in place. The Fill Cap (1) and Vent (2)
reduce spillage in the event that your device tips over or is tilted at extreme angles during use.
4. Power ON your Mistmaster.
5. Rotate the Selector (9) to the Blower position with the arrow pointing up and the bottom of the Selector (9)
covering the Auxiliary Output (11) located in the top center of the Control Panel (10).
6. In a safe to mist location, locate the Mix Button (16) next to the Power Button (15) on the Control Panel (10).
Press and hold the Mix Button (16) for approximately one minute or until you hear a change in the pump
motor effort. This change signals that fluid has reached the pump.
7. In a safe to mist location, place the device on a stable surface and again press and hold the Mix Button (16).
Gently tilt and hold the device at approximately 45 degrees angles in each direction for approximately 15
seconds for each direction (forward, backward, left, right as illustrated below) while continuing to press the
Mix Button (16). This motion allows air to escape from the pump, maximizing the performance of your
Mistmaster.
Tilt Forward
Tilt Backward
Tilt Left
Tilt Right
8. Press and hold the Mist Button (4) until you observe the mist emerging from all four Mist Nozzles (7) and air
from the internal blower exits the device through the Flapper (8).
Bask Mistmaster ® 3-in-1 Compact Misting System User’s Guide
v.210119 Page 11 of 20
9. Release the Mist Button (4) and observe that both the mist and the blower stop.
10. Power OFF your Mistmaster.
11. Continue with the Fill the Tank process described below.
12. Bask recommends that you use, transport, and store your Mistmaster in an upright position.
NOTE: The Purge the Pump process is required to remove air from the pump prior to first use. It is not necessary to
purge the pump each time you use your Mistmaster. However, when air has been reintroduced to the pump, purging
the pump again will help increase pump pressure and make your device operate more efficiently. Air can be introduced
to the pump in a variety of ways, including:
•Tipping the device on its side or upside down
•Draining the tank
•Vigorously shaking the device or tilting it at extreme angles
•Storing the device for a period of time long enough for treatment in the tank to evaporate
USAGE TIP: If at any time your device is not properly misting (i.e., has insufficient pump pressure or the mist appears to
pulse), simply repeat the Purge the Pump steps listed above to remove the air and restore pump pressure. When
purging the pump after a chemical treatment has been added to the tank, be sure to contain the mist or conduct the
purge process in an area safe for the treatment. Always purge the pump with more than half a tank of fluid, as
indicated by two lights of the Status Indicators (5).
STEP 4. Fill the Tank
After purging the pump (described in Step 3, above), the next step in setting up your device is to fill the tank with a
treatment designed specifically for your intended use. Bask offers a variety of natural and chemical treatments that are
selected for use in the Bask Mistmaster 3-in-1. For information about specific products and uses, visit us online at
www.bask-solutions.com. See the USE OF TREATMENTS section of this User’s Guide for more information about user
responsibilities.
To fill the tank:
1. Select a treatment offered by Bask that is labeled for your intended use. Use only treatments selected for use
in the Bask Mistmaster®3-in-1 Compact Misting System.
2. Remove the Fill Cap (1), without removing the strainer.
a. If you use a Treatment which is a concentrate (shake or mix well first)
i. Pour the required dose of the treatment through the strainer into the tank (As per treatment
directions). Do not mix multiple treatments or exceed the recommended volume of
treatment. Each time you refill the tank, pour the treatment into the tank first, before filling
the rest of the tank with clean, potable water.
ii. Fill the remainder of the tank to top with clean, potable water. Do not overfill. Overfilling
wastes treatment and the overflow could potentially contaminate areas not intended for
exposure to the treatment.
b. If you use a Treatment which is a ready-mix (shake or mix well first)
i. Pour the treatment through the strainer into the tank. Do not mix multiple treatments.
ii. Do not overfill. Overfilling wastes treatments and the overflow could potentially contaminate
areas not intended for exposure to the treatment.
3. Replace the tank Fill Cap (1), tightening firmly.
4. Power ON your Mistmaster.
Bask Mistmaster ® 3-in-1 Compact Misting System User’s Guide
v.210119 Page 12 of 20
5. Press and hold the Mix Button (16) for approximately one minute to ensure the treatment is evenly mixed in
the tank.
6. Power OFF your Mistmaster and connect the charger unless you are ready to start misting.
Note: When operating a Mist Station remotely, DO NOT power OFF your Mistmaster; the power must remain
on and connected to the charger so you can activate the device via Long-Range Remote Control.
7. Continue with the Attach the Shoulder Strap instructions below to complete the setup of your Mistmaster.
WARNINGS –FILLING THE TANK
Do not overfill the tank; overfilling wastes treatment and the overflow could potentially
contaminate areas not intended for exposure to the treatment and cause unnecessary contact
with treatments.
Use the strainer to prevent leaves, twigs, insects, and other foreign objects from falling into the
tank and potentially interfering with the operation of your Mistmaster or permanently damaging
the device. Pour treatment and eventually potable water through the strainer into the tank. The
strainer also creates a seal between the tank and the Fill Cap (1). Always keep the strainer in place
to prevent fluid from leaking from around the bottom of the Fill Cap (1).
Do not insert a water hose into the tank, as this can result in siphoning of treatment back into the
water supply. Instead, fill a gallon jug or other container with clean, potable water so you can
easily pour the desired amount into the Mistmaster tank.
To avoid injury, contamination, and/or damage to property and equipment, always read,
understand, and follow the precautionary statements on the product label and insert prior to
handling any treatment. Instructions may include the use of gloves, eye protection, mask, or other
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to protect your skin, eyes, mouth, and lungs.
STEP 5. Attach the Shoulder Strap
The adjustable Shoulder Strap (19) is padded for your comfort when you carry the device. If you wish to carry your
Mistmaster using the adjustable Shoulder Strap (19):
1. Attach the clips on each end of the Shoulder Strap (19) securely to the Strap Attachment Loops (6) at the top
front and rear of your Mistmaster.
2. Adjust the length of the strap so that the device hangs at a level that allows you to comfortably operate the
Mist Button (4) on the Handle (3) of the device.
WARNING –PROTECT STRAP
Prolonged exposure to the elements (sun, rain) can weaken shoulder strap fibers and create a
potential hazard when using the shoulder strap to carry the device. Store indoors. Never use a
shoulder strap showing signs of wear!

v.210119 Page 13 of 20
Keep in mind that no matter what treatment you use in your Mistmaster, the misting agent may also come in contact
with your landscape, garden, furniture, decking, and any other items in the area. Not all treatments are safe for use on
plants or man-made surfaces; they may cause discoloration, peeling, bubbling, or corrosion. Read product labels and
inserts carefully to understand the risks associated with each treatment. Bask recommends that you test a small area
first before widespread application of any treatment. Bask shall not be responsible for damages to personal property
items caused by treatments used in your Mistmaster.
METHOD 1: Mist Blower
The Mist Blower is the ideal method for quickly distributing a fine mist over a large area such as your backyard, pool
deck, ball field, playground, or campsite.
To use the Mist Blower method:

METHOD 2: Misting Wand (sold separately at www.bask-solutions.com)
The Misting Wand provides the ideal method of misting when targeting smaller areas, such as baseboards, soffits and
eaves or specific areas outdoors or indoors. The Misting Wand is made of marine-grade 316 stainless steel with an
impact-resistant comfort-grip handle for ease of use. A single nozzle at the tip of the Misting Wand disperses mist in a
cone shape, allowing you to control the application of mist to your desired treatment area without impacting
surrounding areas. Other nozzle configurations are also available.
METHOD 3: Mist Station (sold separately at www.bask-solutions.com)
A Mist Station provides the ideal method for misting an outdoor area you intend to treat repeatedly, such as your yard
or patio. A simple and highly customizable installation of one or more Mist Stations allows you to treat specific areas of
your home or business—even areas that are difficult to reach—with just the push of a button on your Bask Long-Range
Remote Control.
Bask currently offers two types of Mist Station Kits to meet your specific needs:
Overhead Kit. Bask overhead mist nozzles are designed to be mounted high up on existing structures like
fences, porch railings, trees, pergolas, or walls, allowing you to remotely mist outward to treat a fixed area as
often as needed. Each overhead mist nozzle tees into nylon tubing that connects the mist nozzles to one
another and to your Mistmaster device. Each kit includes four overhead mist nozzles with mounting hardware,
50 feet of nylon tubing, an end plug, and Quick Disconnect.
Riser Kit. Bask risers are designed for ground installation along the perimeter of your desired coverage area,
such as a patio, along hedges, tree lines, or on landscape islands at 8- to 10-foot spacing. Two styles of risers
are available: Slim Risers (½-inch copper construction) and Ultra Slim Risers (¼-inch 316 stainless steel
construction). The risers are designed to elevate the mist nozzle to 24 inches above the ground, allowing you to
remotely treat a fixed area as often as you choose. Each riser tees into nylon tubing that connects the risers to
one another and to your Mistmaster device. Each kit includes four risers with mounting hardware, 50 feet of
nylon tubing, an end plug, and a Quick Disconnect.
Each Mist Station Kit comes with everything you need to install a semi-permanent customized configuration of mist
nozzles to easily treat any area of your property or business, including step-by-step instructions and tips for customizing
your installation. Slim Riser Kits, Ultra Slim Riser Kits, and Overhead Kits each provide four mist nozzles that can be
configured to work together. Purchase multiple kits to create larger or more than one Mist Station with the ideal
combination of overhead nozzles and risers to treat your outdoor and indoor spaces. Individual risers and overhead
nozzles may be purchased separately to expand your Mist Station to treat a larger area if needed. Compliment your
Riser Kit or Overhead Kit with a Bask Long-Range Remote Control (sold separately) that allows you to easily select mist
times of 15, 30, or 45 seconds as often as you choose with just the push of a button.

Managing Spray/Mist Drift and Preventing Runoff
Spray drift is defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the movement of droplets of
chemical treatments (e.g., pesticides, herbicides) through the air at the time of application or soon after, to any site
other than the area intended. Your Mistmaster nozzles are designed to create fine mists for various treatments offered
by Bask for indoor and/or outdoor uses that include insect control, sanitization, plant health and odor elimination. It is
your responsibility to take proper precautions to ensure spray/mist drift does not adversely affect people and the
environment surrounding your intended treatment area using the Mistmaster in the proper mode given its use and
location.
Runoff occurs when water and any contaminants such as pesticides flow across the soil surface into existing bodies of
water, such as streams, canals, rivers, and lakes. Runoff also can enter water systems through storm drains. It is your
responsibility to take proper precautions to ensure runoff does not adversely affect people and the environment
surrounding your intended treatment area.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES
When using pesticides or other chemicals in your Mistmaster, you are legally responsible for any harm
or damage caused by misuse. Your responsibility extends to effects caused by spray/mist drift, runoff,
or improper handling, storage, and disposal. Take proper precautions to protect people’s health, pets,
the environment, and nearby lawns, gardens or crops, including the following:
No matter if you use the mist blower or allow the wind to carry mist, you are responsible for
keeping your treatments off of your neighbors, their lawns and property.
To avoid spray/mist drift and runoff, apply chemical treatments during calm weather
conditions. Do not apply chemicals during high winds, rain, or when other inclement weather
is expected. Apply chemicals in a manner that does not allow them to enter storm drains,
gutters, drainage ditches, or surface waters.
Always follow local, state and federal laws as well as precautions and instructions on
treatment labels.
