ELECTRICAL - 115 Volt
Model: 500M
is machine is designed to operate on a standard 15 amp, 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Voltages below 105 volt AC or
above 125 volts AC could cause serious damage to the motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR 115VOLT:
is piece of equipment must be grounded. Should an electrical malfunction occur, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electrical current- reducing the risk of electric shock. is piece of equipment is furnished with a cord that
has a grounding conductor and grounding plug. e grounded plug must only be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Connecting the equipment to an improperly grounded outlet can result in an increased risk of electric shock. A qualified
electrician should be consulted if you are unsure that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the equipment. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
is appliance is designed for use on a 120-volt circuit. e grounding plug provided looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure 1. Replace the power cord if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 14 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. DO
NOT use extension cords more than 25 feet (7.6 m) long.

5
equipment when not in use.
• Do not place body parts or any foreign objects into, or in front of, any opening of the sprayer.
• Never operate the equipment if it has been damaged or if it is not working properly.
• Serious injury could occur from chemical leaks if sprayer is improperly assembled.
• Always hold the sprayer rmly when spraying at higher pressures to prevent sprayer from whipping, acciden-
tal self spraying, or other injury. Keep good footing and balance at all times.
• Check equipment daily and prior to each use. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with
genuine replacement parts from EDIC only.
• Store equipment in a cool, dry place, away from heat and open ames. Do not expose to extreme tempera-
tures.
• Directly spray only toward appropriate surfaces and never aim the sprayer at yourself or another person.
FIRE, EXPLOSION AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Use and clean equipment only in well-ventilated area.
• Never spray a ammable chemical.
• Keep spray area free of debris, including solvents, rags, gasoline or any ammable chemicals.
• Keep a working re extinguisher in the work area.
• Turn o and unplug the equipment whenever leaving the equipment unattended.
• Flush the equipment oen, including aer each use, before storing, and when switching chemicals.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
• Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating the equipment, or when in the
work area, to help prevent serious injury. Refer to chemical product’s SDS for those products for the proper PPE
required for each cleaning agent utilized.

CHEMICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Obtain, read, understand and follow the chemical product’s SDS and label prior to use.
• Know and use the phone number of the local poison control center if any questions arise during product use.
• Know emergency and rst aid procedures related to the chemical product in use before handling. Sprayer
leaks, bodily chemical contact, poisoning, and spills require immediate response.
• Follow the chemical product’s recommendations to handle, mix, apply, store and dispose of chemicals.
• Know applicable licensing and regulatory requirements for chemicals you intend to use.
• Ensure the area being sprayed has proper ventilation.
• Know the length of time required by each chemical product application before allowing people and pets to
return to the sprayed areas.
• Do not use ammable, combustible, volatile or corrosive materials in sprayer.
• Flush sprayer before switching chemicals in accordance with chemical product’s labels and SDS in order to
prevent mixing of chemicals and/or dangerous chemical interactions. To dispose of chemical products, refer to
product labels or SDS.
• Avoid inhaling, ingesting, or coming into contact with any chemicals.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD.
• Fluid from equipment that leaks or ruptures from a component can splash in the eyes or on skin, causing seri-
ous injury. To help prevent a leak or rupture, check hoses, tubes and couplings daily and before each use. Replace
worn or damaged parts immediately.
PLASTIC PARTS CLEANING SOLVENT HAZARD
To help prevent product degradation, use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pres-
sure-containing parts. Many solvents can degrade plastic parts to the point where they could fail. Such failure could
cause serious injury or property damage. Read uid and solvent manufacturers’ SDS and recommendations prior to
use.

CONNECTING YOUR MISTER GUN:
Connect your Gun to the end of the solution line/ Solution hose by pulling back the lock ring on the female and in-
serting the male quick connect. Release the female lock ring. Connect the opposite end of the solution hose to the male
quick disconnect on the machine (# 8 on page 7)
10
OPERATING THE 500M:
Prepare your chemical and place it into the solution tank (#3 on page 7). Follow your chemical manufacturer’s dilution
ratios.
Once you have lled the machine with the appropriate chemical, you may begin spraying. Always evaluate the area for
the best application techinque. Take special care around sensitive electronics, fabrics, surfaces, artwork, etc. that cannot
be sprayed.
We recommend you start at the furthest area from the entrance, eventually moving back toward the door. e area
closest to the door should be done last so as to prevent cross-contamination by equipment or personel. Due to the
dierences, in spaces that will be cleaned, you will need to determine the best course of action for your particular oor
plan. e information above is a basic guideline. However, only you can determine the best plan for the building you
are cleaning.
Once a plan of action has been determined for the space you are cleaning, begin spraying the ne mist over all surfaces
that are able to be sprayed.
Use a oor to ceiling pattern of spray stroke while you walk sideways in any particular direction. Take care to overlap
strokes to eliminate the possibility of missed areas. Take special care to spray over, under, behind and on the sides of
objects such as desks, chairs, hand rails, door knobs, handles, etc.
GENERAL TIPS:
Safety:
Wear appropriate PPE (personal Protective Equipment) such as gloves, face masks, eye protection, disposable shoe
covers, etc., according to the chemical you are using as well as local, state and federal guidelines.
Cross-contamination:
To minimize the risk of transporting microbes from area to area, discard and replace all disposables such as gloves,
shoe covers, etc., before entering a new area. Spray the cleaning equipment down including wheels, hoses, etc., and
allow appropriate dwell time before moving on to another area.

Maintenance:
e tip used on Mister Gun is very ne and it is susceptible to clogging. Make sure to take it apart frequently and clean
the lters and tips as oen as possible. To clean the tip, make a 1:4 vinegar solution (1 parts vinegar and 4 parts water).
allow the tip to soak for a few hours and rinse o with clean water before reinstalling. Remove old teon tape before
re-wrapping. Do not use hard objects to open up clogged tips. is can damage the tip and result in reduced or total loss
of performance.
MAINTENANCE OF EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT:
Consult your machine’s manual for tips on cleaning lters, etc.
END OF DAY PROCEDURE:
To minimize clogging of the spray gun and premature damage to pump seals, rinse
the solution system daily by running clean water through the pump, solution
line, and spray gun.
