ATTENTION
Please read the following information carefully. Failure to follow instructions or improper
use could lead to explosive failure causing serious injuries.
After using sprayer with chemicals, it is important to spray with fresh water for 3-5 minutes to ensure residual
chemicals in the gun, wand, tank, pump, and hose are cleaned out. This will extend the life of your sprayer. Never
leave chemicals or solutions sitting in your sprayer after using.
Do not store your sprayer in extremely high temperatures. Heat can lead to the build-up of pressure within the
sprayer, resulting in a possible explosion. If there is pressure in the pump, do not try to remove it with tools.
Do not try to make modications to the sprayer. Always use FlowZone® branded replacement parts from the
manufacturer.
Never spray ammable, caustic, acidic, chlorine, or other corrosive solutions or heat, pressure, or gas producing
chemicals. Always read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions before use with this sprayer as some
chemicals may be hazardous when used with this sprayer.
Only FlowZone nozzles are tested to be compatible with FlowZone® sprayers. Using ow restrictive nozzles could
damage the pump and will void any remaining warranty coverage.
