DuraSprayer™
OPERATING MANUAL
Thank you and Congratulations on your choice of the
DuraSprayer™, a revolutionary disinfectant delivery system that
uniquely combines the technology of foggers, misters, refillable
sprayers and prepackaged aerosols.
This refillable unit eliminates the need for costly prepackaged
aerosols by mechanically generating the most optimum-sized, uniform
disinfectant particles. Its unique design allows you to treat more area
per ounce than with pre-packaged aerosol products.
Its handy size and professional appearance make it a valuable tool
for both residential and light commercial accounts. In addition, it gives
you the flexibility of using a variety of disinfectants that are EPA
approved for use in this type of equipment.
This system combines the right amount of disinfectant with a high
volume of moderately pressurized air to improve penetration through
cracks and crevices to reach target disinfectants deep within ceiling and
wall voids. The DuraSprayer™ eliminates virus/pathogens/bacteria in
places other delivery systems can’t even reach.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Handle with care.
Do not place the unit where vibration and surface conditions would
allow it to fall. Keep the unit on the ground when in use.
1. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
When filling these units always wear protective eyewear and protective
gloves. When operating these units, always wear protective clothing,
eyewear, chemical resistant rubber gloves, and a respirator. Refer to the
disinfectant label for specific instructions and other precautions.
2. Preparations and Guidelines when Making ULV Aerosol
Applications.
Refer to disinfectant label for directions on proper preparation for area
to be treated before operating this equipment. General preparation
includes:
• Everyone in the treatment area must wear an approved respirator
during treatment and when re-entering a treated area when the aerosol
may still be present.

Page 2
• Turn off all pilot lights or sources of open flame. Ventilation systems
and air moving systems should be turned off. Appliances that
routinely create high heat should be turned off. Computers and other
electrical equipment should be turned off, covered, or removed from
the treatment area.
• All personnel without proper PPE must leave the treatment area.
Cover or remove ornamental plants. Cover and seal all aquariums.
Aquarium filters must be shut off and not turned back on until the
aerosol is no longer present. Pets, including exotic pets (birds,
amphibians, reptiles, arachnids) must be removed. Re-entry for exotic
pets is not recommended for a period of 24 hours.
• All exposed food must be removed or placed in containers that will
prevent contact with the disinfectant. Food preparation utensils and
surfaces must be covered or cleaned thoroughly before reuse.
• Close and lock all entry ways. Professionals may want to consider
posting warning signs on doors opening into the treatment site.
• Open all doors, cabinets, storage areas, and drawers in the treatment
area.
• Before reoccupation, thoroughly ventilate treatment area.
• Do not use gasoline powered equipment in grain mills, flour mills,
grain storage, or grain processing areas. Grain/Flour dust may be highly
explosive. Electric powered units must be certified as explosion proof
for these sites. Check with manufacturers for details on certification.
3. Filter Disinfectant and Fill Tank.
Remove Fill Cap. Filter disinfectant by pouring slowly into fill neck
and through the in-tank filter to remove any debris that may clog or
damage the DuraSprayer™ equipment.

Page 3
With a 28 oz. tank capacity it is VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO
OVERFILL WITH PRODUCT. The tank should only be about
80% full or about 20 oz.
4. Replace Fill Cap.
Turning the cap clockwise, hand-tighten until firmly secured.
5. Plug in / Turn on Power.
Plug the DuraSprayer™ into a three-prong grounded, 110/115-volt
electrical source. Use a three-prong grounded heavy-duty extension
cord, not longer than 50 feet, when operating this unit (Cord Not
Included). Remove Red Tip Protector Cap. Switch the unit to the ON
position using the Toggle Switch on top of unit.
6. Adjust Regulator.
To adjust regulator, start by unlocking the safety lock located on the
adjustment knob by pulling up on the knob. If a red ring is present, lift
up on the red ring to unlock. Turn the knob slowly clockwise until the
0-30 psi back mount gauge reads 10 - 12 psi.
Note: The higher the pressure on the 0-30 gauge, the larger the
disinfectant particles will be. A higher pressure will be required
when working overhead (above 6-8 ft.) to compensate for the effects
of gravity. Adjust in 1 or 2 lb. increments to achieve desired flow and
particle size.

Page 4
7. Purge air bubbles.
Air pockets that develop may delay the shutoff of the
aerosol after the trigger is released. To remove air
pockets from the system turn the unit off, point the
applicator tip into the original disinfectant container,
depress the trigger and wait until a pin stream flows
from the tip. Hold for approximately 10 seconds to
fully purge the system and allow for an uninterrupted
pin stream.
8. Turn the unit on to begin use.
At this point the air flows freely through the twin tubing to the wand
and excess air is vented to atmosphere at the tip. Next, the air flows
into the regulator which controls the pressure exerted on the liquid
inside the tank. The liquid product then travels through the second line
of the twin tubing to the wand.
9. Apply disinfectant.
Observe Label Directions.
Do not operate the DuraSprayer™ with
disinfectants that are not labeled for aerosol,
fog, or mist applications. Read the disinfectant
label to determine if the disinfectant is EPA-
approved for use in this type of equipment.
Contact your chosen distributor for
information on disinfectants currently labeled
for use in equipment such as DuraSprayer™
A. Apply disinfectant according to label instructions.
B. Position the applicator tip on desired target.
C. Depress the trigger to apply disinfectant.

Page 5
The compressed air is environmentally safe and much more effective
than chemical propellants. The continuous free flowing air stream
allows for deeper penetration of the target areas.
The comfortable precision wand is balanced, easy to use, and easy to
maintain. This unique wand is based on a common industry design
making it simple to repair with easy access to replacement parts.
Note: Releasing the trigger and holding the tip in place allows the
unit’s constant airflow to push the already applied disinfectant into
deep, hard to reach areas. When performed properly this technique
improves penetration and reaches target areas more effectively
using less disinfectant than required by other techniques.
Helpful Hints: Occasionally, when working overhead, the pressure
exerted on the liquid tank by the regulator will not be sufficient to
drive the liquid 8-10 feet above floor level. At this time, you need to
increase the pressure on the liquid tank by adjusting the regulator
clockwise to the point you receive the aerosol at the tip and at the
height you desire to work. When returning to ground level be sure to
adjust regulator back to normal operating pressure.

10. Turn off unit / release pressure from tank.
When necessary, switch the unit to the OFF position.
To relieve pressure in the tank, press down on the pressure relief
valve located on the top of the fill cap.
11. Back Flush System After Every Use to Remove Chemical
From Wand and Hose. This procedure is highly recommended and
is the most important maintenance you can do for your system.
A. Switch unit to the ON position.
B. Turn regulator knob counter clockwise until it stops.
C. Relieve pressure in the tank by pressing down on the pressure relief
valve.
D. Unscrew fill cap by turning counter clockwise and remove.
E. Holding the wand over the tank, place gloved finger over integrated
stainless crack & crevice tip exit orifice, stopping the flow of air,
then squeeze the application trigger until liquid is purged from the
wand and hose. Page 6
required.
The aerosols that you’ve probably used in the past were driven by
propellant. Therefore, you saw larger particles and most of the material
that ble that of the propellant. The
DuraSprayer™
utilizes
no propellant. All you are seeing is the disinfectant that has been
sheared into micron sized particles. 98% are in the 2.4 to 15 micron size
range. By increasing the pressure on the liquid tank you only increase
the flow rate. The result being, using more disinfectant than is

Page 7
You will hear a gurgling sound coming from the tank when the
process is complete. This process should take about 10 seconds.
F. Remove gloved finger from tip and release trigger.
G. Switch unit to OFF position.
H. Replace fill cap and tighten.
I. Position red tip protector cap over tip of wand for transportation
of unit.
Note: Back flush procedure should be performed after each use. This
will help protect the polyurethane rubber hose in the wand and the
15’ red twin coiled tubing and prevents unwanted spillage during
transportation.
12. Draining the Tank.
Drain the DuraSprayer™ tank when changing disinfectants or storing
for an extended period of time. The unique pour dry design of the tank
allows you to remove all materials from the tank by simply tilting the
unit over a funnel and returning the product to its original container.
A. Follow instructions to properly backflush unit.
B. Remove the Drop in Tank Filter.
C. With the side closest to the gauge facing toward you, rotate the
unit slowly away from you upside down, and pour remaining
disinfectant through a funnel and into the original container.
13. Transporting the Unit.
Transport the DuraSprayer™ in an upright position. Take care not to
damage the Integrated Crack & Crevice Tip by positioning the Red
Tip Protector Cap over tip of wand.

DIAGNOSIS AND FIELD SERVICE
1. The unit is running and air is flowing from the tip, but no
chemical aerosol is being produced.
A. Make sure the tank contains disinfectant.
B. Check 15’ Twin Tubing for kinks, crimps, twists, or otherfactors
that would obstruct chemical flow to the wand.
C. Check the 0-30 pressure gauge. With the compressor running, it should
read 10-12 psi.
D. Be sure air pressure is reaching the wand tip.
You should be able to hear and feel air flowing from the tip of the wand.
E. Check for liquid flow with no air flow.
Turn unit off, leave pressure in the tank, point the wand into the original
disinfectant container, and depress the trigger until a pin stream flows
from the tip.
If a pin stream flows from the tip with the compressor off and the tank
under pressure:
Remove integrated crack & crevice tip. Exit orifice should be
maintained at .046” or use a drill bit #56. Drill exit orifice to resize.
When used on abrasive surfaces the tip tends to close up reducing the
amount of air that can escape resulting in excessive backpressure on
the liquid.

Page 9
Also, be sure that all orifices in the fluid cap are free of debris. Replace
tip assembly and follow operating instructions to generate aerosol.
F. If no liquid flow or pin stream, inspect fluid cap by removing tip
and removing any debris from all orifices.
2. The unit is running and the aerosol will not shut off at the tip
when trigger is released.
A. Unit may have air pockets created by surfaces forcing air back
into the tip during application.
To release air pockets depress trigger and hold while aerosol is
released. You will see intermittent surges of aerosol, hold trigger until
aerosol flows consistently without interruption.
Another method is to turn off the compressor and point tip into original
disinfectant container and squeeze trigger to produce a pin stream.
Allow to flow until uninterrupted.
B. Teflon seat may be damaged or contain debris preventing positive
shutoff.
First follow instructions for step number 11 of operating instructions to
backflush liquid. Remove stainless airline by removing compression
nut at the elbow to adapter body. Then remove adapter body attached
to valve body. Check exposed seat for debris, nicks, and scratches.
Replace if necessary. Also inspect seat stem surface for scratches or
nicks. Replace if necessary.
3. Airflow is low and aerosol is too heavy at normal 10 –12 psi
operating pressure.
A. Fluid cap may be damaged.

Page 10
Remove integrated crack & crevice tip. Inspect fluid cap for cracks
and debris around the air holes. The wheel should be stationary. It
should not wiggle, spin or be crooked or smashed.
B. Unit may be losing pressure due to a leak.
With pressure in the tank, turn unit off and inspect for leaks at the
pressure relief valve and the tank cap o-ring. With the unit running
inspect the 15’ red coiled twin tubing and entire wand in areas
where air could escape, such as welds or fittings. Inspect for air
leakage at the air chuck.
4. While working with wand over-head air is flowing from
the tip, but no chemical aerosol is being produced.
A higher liquid pressure is necessary when wand is higher than 6’
from unit. To compensate simply adjust regulator clockwise in one
or two psi increments until desired flow is reached.
Note: When returning to ground level operations reduce pressure
by turning regulator counter clockwise and releasing pressure from
the tank by pushing the button on the pressure relief valve until
reaching 10 - 12 psi on gauge.
5. Unit is turned on but motor just hums and does not start.
If none of these solutions corrects your problem, there may be
something more serious wrong with the unit. For additional technical
assistance please contact Duraline Systems, Inc. Help Desk at 877-561-
0500.
