Base Unit Filter Label
BP-500 Series "BP"
CS-900 Series "CS"
TRIGGER & TRIGGER LOCK
The trigger turns the spray on and off. It can be continuously held for operation or
it can be locked in place with the trigger lock.
To Engage/Disengage the Trigger:
1. Gripping the handle at the rear, squeeze the trigger with your index nger
to initiate spraying.
2. For continuous spraying, you can continue to hold the trigger or you can lock
it in position by sliding the trigger lock rearward until an audible click is heard.
3. To stop spraying when the trigger is not locked, simply let go of the trigger.
If the trigger is locked, push forward on the trigger lock; releasing the trigger.
4. Never store the sprayer with the trigger in the locked position.
INDICATOR LIGHT
There is a green indicator light on your unit that will illuminate when the unit is
spraying and your batteries are carrying a sufcient charge. This glowing green
light lets you know that the droplets leaving the gun are electrostatically charged.
The light will only illuminate once air is owing through the sprayer.
NOTE: It is absolutely imperative that this green indicator light is illuminated
when you are spraying the product.
If the green indicator light is not illuminated, the droplets leaving the gun will not carry
a charge. If the indicator light fails to illuminate, stop what you are doing and replace
the battery pack or make sure that you are using only ByoPlanet® approved chemicals.
NOZZLE
The nozzle assembly is located at the end of the sprayer. It is composed of a nozzle
body, external O-ring, electrode ange, nozzle cover, liquid tip and electrode. These
are the only user serviceable components. To access the nozzle components,
unscrew the nozzle cover by hand. It is very important to follow all the maintenance
and cleaning procedures to ensure that the sprayer will function optimally.
NOTE: As the sprayer becomes dirty from typical use, solvent cleaning is
recommended on the outside surfaces. This discourages dripping from the
nozzle.

55

Battery Disposal and Precautions
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not regulate the disposal of batteries in small quantities. While
there are no federal regulations for disposal of lithium batteries, individual states or localities can establish their own
guidelines for battery disposal, and should be contacted for any disposal guidelines that they may have. ByoPlanet®
suggests you follow local solid waste disposal regulations or call the Battery Solutions Information Help Line at
1.800.852.8127.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING THE SPRAY AREA
In order to create an area acceptable for electrostatic spraying, there are pre-spraying procedures that one
must follow. Please familiarize yourself with the following scenarios:
1. An interior area that is spotless—this scenario requires no preparatory work prior to spraying.
2. An interior area with loose debris on the oor—this scenario would require a clean sweeping of
the area prior to spraying.
3. Walls, oors, or ceilings with materials stuck to them—this scenario would require utilizing a
scrub brush with cleaner to remove unwanted materials and/or using a scraping instrument (chisel,
putty knife, etc.) to scrape off stubborn foreign materials.
4. Once the area has been cleared of foreign objects and debris, you are ready for the electrostatic
spraying process.
SPRAY TECHNIQUE
1. Before starting, it should be known that there will be a momentary delay before liquid will be present.
This is due to the fact that on an empty system, liquid must travel down the full length of the hose.
2. Once spraying, choose a starting point near the rear of the room. Starting where the wall meets the ceiling
and using a sweeping left to right motion, start spraying back and forth. Move your spray pattern downward
until you have reached where the wall meets the oor. Make sure to work in a methodical zig-zag pattern
and to let your strokes overlap when moving to the next section.
3. Continue this process until you have gone completely around the entire room and return to your original
starting point.
4. Using the same approach, begin spraying the ceiling. Once the ceiling is completed, your last function
will be to spray the oor.
5. Allow the treated area dry to sit as listed on the chemical label.
Note: Do not over-saturate the surface; if you see runs or puddles you are applying too much
chemical.
As in spray painting, the goal is to achieve even coverage over the surface area. The Sprayer is designed to
help you do just that. The spray droplets propelled from the gun are very, very ne— about 40 microns each.
This means that the target surface area should just barely glisten with moisture and will evaporate quickly,
contrary to conventional units that leave large beads of liquid on the target. 4the surface area. The Sprayer

MAINTENANCE
SPRAYER
The unit has the following user-serviceable parts: the liquid lter, the nozzle assembly, and the battery pack. Nothing
inside the unit housing is user-serviceable. Do not open the unit shell as doing so will VOID the warranty on the gun.
Contact your ByoPlanet® Service Representative at [phone].
LIQUID FILTER
The liquid lter assembly is located on the side of the unit handle. Use an appropriate spade
tool, or coin, to access for service. To remove, align the slot with the two features around the
lter. After doing so, simply turn the unit on its side and it should fall right out. Inspect the
lter screen for contaminates and clean if required. Upon reinstallation, verify that the two
O-rings are in place and free of contaminates that may cause an insufcient seal. To reinsert,
align the features as before and rotate 90* in either direction.
NOZZLE
Cleaning the Nozzle
The most important thing you can do to ensure trouble-free operation of your unit is to rinse the nozzle out with clean
water after every use. By cleaning your gun’s nozzle after each usage, you will avoid the long-term chemical buildup
that eventually causes clogs, poor spray patterns, and shortened life of the nozzle components.
In addition to rinsing with clean water after each use, the nozzle should periodically
be dissembled and cleaned. Your nozzle maintenance schedule will vary depending
on how often the gun is used and adherence to pre/post-spray checks.
It is recommended to contact ByoPlanet before performing the service outlined below.
To Clean/Inspect the Nozzle Assembly:
1. With the unit disconnected from the base unit, unscrew the cover from the
nozzle base. Clean any debris from or around any of the interior surfaces
with warm water.
2. Inspect for any damage to the liquid tip. If spray pattern was noted to be
inconsistent or non-typical of a healthy symmetrical spray, remove the liquid
tip with an appropriate 7/16" socket wrench.
3. Inspect Nozzle electrode for any signs of electrical arching, burn and/or
corrosion. Gently push down on the electrode to verify a smooth spring return.
If any issues are noted remove/replace immediately. This is done by gently
pulling on the electrode with a pair of pliers. Otherwise service the electrode
by applying a generous amount of dielectric grease. Available at any local
automotive/hardware store.
4. Be sure to also thoroughly clean all interior surfaces of the nozzle cover;
including the main orice.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The nozzle
cover should be hand tight. Never
use pliers or other tools to tighten
it, as this may cause damage.
Removal of the nozzle electrode
is not necessary for cleaning.
PURGING
To Clean/Inspect the Nozzle Assembly:
1. Disconnect the liquid hose line (smaller connector) from the sprayer handle.
2. With the base unit (CS-900 or BP-500) powered on, and the liquid hose line
disconnected, depress the sprayer trigger to emit liquid.
3. Continue to depress the trigger until the sprayer no longer emits liquid.
4. Place the sprayer in the holster to prepare the equipment for storage or its
next use.
The ES-120 Electrostatic Sprayer should be purged of chemistry after every use.
