Maintenance During/Aer Spraying
Aer use, drain the tank and store or dispose of chemical properly. Fill the sprayer half way with clean water. Start the pump and
allow the water to pump through the enre plumbing system and nozzles. Drain and then rell half full, add the recommended
amount of a good quality tank cleaner, such as FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner. Turn pump on and circulate through system
for 15 minutes and then spray out through handgun nozzle. Rell sprayer half way with clean water and repeat. Follow chemical
manufacturer’s disposal instrucons of all wash or rinsing water.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of me! ALWAYS ush the
pump as instructed aer each use. DO NOT allow chemicals to sit in the pump for extended mes of idleness. Follow the chemical
manufacturer’s instrucons on disposal of all waste water from the sprayer.
Winter Storage
Prepare the sprayer for end-of-season storage by running RV anfreeze through the system. This will keep internal parts lubricat-
ed, protect against corrosion and keep the unit from freezing. Note: RV anfreeze is non-toxic and biodegradable and generally
safer for the environment than automove anfreeze.
Before storing your sprayer for winter or long term storage, thoroughly clean and drain it as much as possible. Then pour enough
pink RV anfreeze into the tank so that when the pump is turned on you can pump the anfreeze throughout the enre plumbing
system, including the bypass. Make sure to operate the handgun unl you see pink uid spraying from the nozzle. Leave any
remaining anfreeze in the tank. Before your next usage, rinse the anfreeze from the sprayer with clean water.
It is nearly impossible to drain all of the water from the sprayer and any trapped water can freeze in cold weather and damage
parts of the sprayer. Pumping the anfreeze through the system will displace the water and help prevent this damage.
Removing from storage: drain the anfreeze. Fill the tank with fresh water and run through the system. Dispose of anfreeze and
ush water properly.
Sprayer and Pump FAQs:
Why does the pump not run all the me?
This is an on-demand pump and only runs when a discharge is open (spray gun, bypass, boom (if applicable) or a leak is in the
system.
Why does the pump surge while using the spray gun?
Low ow/high pressure may cause the pump to surge (or cycle). Typically the spray wand is adjusted at too ne of a mist, to
overcome, adjust the nozzle for a higher ow.
How do I adjust the pressure?
Pressure can only be adjusted by opening the pressure adjust (bypass) valve to allow some of your water or soluon to return
to the tank (if equipped).
Pump quit and will not run, what do I need to do?
Squeeze trigger on spray gun to ensure that the system isn’t just pressurized up with discharges closed.
Check electrical connecons, ensure switch is on. Check fuses. Check for proper voltage. Check pressure switch.
Low ow or no ow at all, what do I need to check for?
Check for a clogged or kinked intake hose and/or clogged intake strainer. Check for proper voltage.
You will need to occasionally check your intake strainer to ensure that it is clean of any debris.
What is causing the fuse to blow each me I turn the pump on?
Check for excessive voltage. Improper adjustment of the pressure switch. Damaged or defecve wire harness or defecve
pressure switch.
Warning: Ensure the wiring harness does not become pinched or damaged in any way. This may damage the pump or cause the
wiring harness to overheat, resulng in a melt down or re.
