Assembly & Operation

Hose Connection: Attach the hose to the tank outlet and tighten the clamp securely.
Nozzle Assembly: Screw the brass nozzle onto the wand and attach the wand to the shut-off handle.
Pre-Use Check: Inspect the hose, pump and fittings for any signs of wear or damage. Replace parts only with genuine Chapin components.
Filling: Unscrew the pump handle, add your prepared spray solution, and avoid overfilling.
Pressurising: Pump the handle until resistance is felt, then lock the handle in place.
Spraying: Adjust the nozzle to your preferred spray pattern and begin spraying evenly. Re-pump as needed to maintain pressure.
Pressure Release: Turn the handle counterclockwise to release air before opening the tank.

Maintenance & Storage

Rinse the tank, hose and wand thoroughly after each use.
Flush the discharge system with clean water to prevent clogging.
Lubricate the pump rod with light oil periodically.
Store the sprayer upside down with the pump removed in a dry environment.
Inspect regularly for rust, dents or corrosion and replace worn seals as required.

Safety Information

Always wear gloves, goggles and appropriate protective clothing. Do not spray flammable, caustic or corrosive solutions. Never leave the sprayer pressurised or exposed to direct sunlight after use.
