WARNING
The sprayer is operated with liquid under pressure. Failure to observe caution and to follow instructions
for operating and cleaning can cause tank, hose and other parts to be weakened and rupture under
pressure. This can result in serious injury from high pressure discharge of liquids or forcible ejection of
parts. Do not use ammable materials in this sprayer. Material could ignite or explode, causing serious
injury and/or possible death. For safe use of this product, you must read and follow all instructions before
use.
TEST SPRAYER WITH WATER BEFORE USING ANY CHEMICALS.
CAUTION
Always empty, clean and dry tank, pump system, shut-o, hose, and extension after each use. FAILURE TO
DO SO MAY WEAKEN SPRAYER COMPONENTS, CAUSING COMPONENTS TO RUPTURE WHEN PRESSURIZED.
Additionally, FAILURE TO CLEAN AND PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR SPRAYER WILL VOID MANUFACTURER’S
WARRANTY.
WARNING
ALWAYS CLEAN THE SPRAYER AND SHUT-OFF THOROUGHLY AFTER EACH USE
OR WHEN CHANGING APPLICATIONS AS DESCRIBED IN THE CLEANING SECTION.
FAILURE TO COMPLETELY CLEAN MAY CAUSE CROSS-CONTAMINATION.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Read owner’s manual completely before operating this sprayer.
• Always use goggles, gloves, and protective clothing when using sprayer. Refer to the appropriate
technical bulletin for the chemical being sprayed for additional protective clothing required.
• Read and follow all instructions and cautions on label, material safety data sheets and technical bulletins
of products used in this sprayer.
• Never use ammable liquids, chlorine, bleach, caustics, acids, hot water, or other corrosive solutions or
heat, pressure or gas producing chemicals in the tank for the S103E Sprayer.
• Do not leave sprayer in the sun when not in use.
• Spray when air is calm to prevent drift of chemicals.
• Do not use sprayer near open ame or anything that could cause ignition of the spray.
• Always inspect hose and all hose connections before each use. A damaged hose, or loose hose
connection can result in unintended exposure to the pressurized chemical, resulting in serious injury or
property damage.
• Do not lift or carry sprayer by the hose, shut-o valve, or extension. Carry by pump handle only,
making sure handle is properly locked in place before lifting.
• Do not pressurize with any mechanical device such as an air compressor, since this can create a
dangerous pressure level and bursting of parts resulting in serious injury. Only use original pump.
• Do not store chemicals in this tank.
• Always release pressure when sprayer is not in use and before removing pump from tank.
• Do not stand with face or body over top of tank when pumping or loosening pump, to prevent pump or
solution from striking you, resulting in serious injury.
• Clean and rinse sprayer thoroughly after each use.
• Never attempt to alter sprayer from original condition.
• Always use replacement parts from original manufacturer.
• Keep the sprayer and all chemicals out of the reach of children.
