ASSEMBLY
The sprayer is partially assembled at the factory. The only
assembly necessary is to hook up the wiring to an existing 12
volt power source. The red wire of the two wire set must be
connected to the positive post on the battery or the “Hot” con-
nection on a switch or to the ammeter. The brown wire may
be grounded or connected to the negative battery post.
It is important to test the sprayer with plain water before
actual spraying is attempted. This will enable you to check
the sprayer for leaks in the plumbing system.
OPERATION
In addition to an on/off switch, the pump on the sprayer is
equipped with a pressure switch that is factory set at a maxi-
mum of 35 PSI. The handgun may be shut off at anytime when
the pump system is running and the pump will be electrically
turned off by the pressure switch. When the handgun trigger
is squeezed the pump will start again. Use care when hooking
up the battery wires to the battery. Be sure the solution has

been added to the tank because the pump may start running
as soon as the wires are attached.
The handgun has an adjustable nozzle which allows the
spray to be adjusted from a cone shaped fine mist to a
straight stream.
Note: The nut on the nozzle which has finger tabs must
be tight in order for the spray pattern adjustment to vary
when turning the nozzle end.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if
allowed to soak untreated for a length of time. Always flush
the pump with water after use. Do not allow chemicals to sit
in the pump for extended times of idleness. Flushing may
be done by adding 5 gallons of water to the tank and then
pump the solution through the entire system.
AFTER SPRAYING
After use fill the sprayer part way with water, start the sprayer
and allow clear water to be pumped through the plumbing
system and out through the handgun. Use the handgun on
the sprayer to thoroughly wash all internal parts of the tank
and tank cover.
Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use a chemi-
cal neutralizer such as Nutra-Sol or equivalent and repeat
cleaning instructions above. Flush the entire sprayer with
the neutralizing agent. Follow the chemical manufacturers
disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.
WINTER STORAGE
Drain all water out of the sprayer paying special atten-
tion to the pump, valves, and handgun. These items are
especially prone to damage from chemicals and freezing
weather. The sprayer should be winterized before storage
by pumping a solution of RV anti-freeze through the entire
plumbing. Proper care and maintenance will prolong life of
the sprayer.
PRESSURE SWITCH OPERATION
Pressure switch is pre-set at the factory. Improper
adjustment of the pressure switch, may cause severe overload or
premature failure. If the pump is subjected to rapid cycling during
normal operation, or infrequent periods, damage may occur.
