MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE TIPS:
•After operation, the sprayer should be stored away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage.
•After removing the pump or when mounting a new O-ring, treat both the O-ring and the piston with water- resistant grease.*
•Before winter, drain all liquid in tank, lines and air chamber by holding the shut-off valve in the open position and pumping
the pump handle until only air is coming out of the shut-off valve. (See “Cleaning.”) Leave shut-off valve locked in the
“open” position to prevent freezing.
•For service, visit our website to locate your nearest Solo dealer. Always insist on original Solo spare parts.
•Regularly inspect hose, wand, pump, tank and shut-off valve for wear, damage or leaks. Repair promptly.
Avoid excessive wear and prolong sprayer life by:
1. Regular lubrication of the pump O-ring with water-resistant grease.*
2. Prompt and thorough cleaning and ushing of sprayer. Soap and water work well.
*Use Solo Superior Grease (# 9850-P). Petroleum jelly may also be used.
To Lubricate pump O-ring, rst remove the pump lifting rod. Next, lift up on the pump bellows and raise the pump.
NOTE: When cleaning the sprayer after working with hormone weed killers, follow the instructions of the herbicide producers.
Neutralize with activated charcoal. (Example: add 0.35 oz. /1 g. of activated charcoal to 1.7 pint/1 liter of water and leave this
detergent in the tank and the lines approximately for 24 hours.) This is very important if other chemicals will be sprayed as the
residues of the herbicide may damage susceptible plants. Cleaning after application of products containing carbolineum, a
coal tar wood preservative, is imperative. If the chemicals are not water soluble, cleaning should be done with a 5% soda lye
having a temperature of 104°F (40°C). Rinse with plenty of clean water.
Remove the ll cap and reach into the tank to remove the agitator (part s). This will allow you to remove the pump assembly
from the tank and lubricate the pump O-ring (part t). To reinstall the pump, just reverse the steps. To reconnect the pump lifting
rod, you will need a pair of channel-lock or similar pliers.
