FILLING THE SPRAYER
Make sure the filter basket is in place to keep debris from entering the tank.
Determine the amount of mixture needed for your application. Add the proper amount of water to the tank.
Add the proper amount of chemical to the tank (check the chemical label for proper ratio of chemical). Stir
mixture in tank with a clean utensil (like a paint stirrer). The tank will hold the 4-gallon (15.1L) capacity plus
the chemical.
It is not necessary to completely fill the sprayer tank with each use. You can fill the tank with only the amount
needed for each application.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions included on their product label.

3 STAGE FILTERING SYSTEM
Pressure
Cylinder
This backpack sprayer is equipped with a 3 stage filtering system
(see figure 1). Stage 1 is a filter basket incorporated into the
tank opening where fluid is added. Stage 2 is a removable filter
integrated into the pressure chamber. Stage 3 is a removable filter
incorporated into the shut-off assembly. Periodic cleaning of these
filters is recommended to insure consistent fluid flow through the
sprayer. This will also reduce sprayer component wear.
Stage 2 filter cleaning requires removal of the entire pump
assembly (see section “disassembling and repairing the pump
assembly”). Once the pump assembly is removed the stage 2 filter
can be removed for cleaning (see figure 2).
The stage 3 filter is a removable filter incorporated into the
inlet side of the shut-off valve (see section “disassembling and
repairing the shut-off valve”) . Make sure pressure is released
before detaching the hose from the shut-off. It is best to have no
or minimal fluid in the pressure chamber before removing and
reinstalling the stage 3 shut-off filter as fluid can leak from the
hose.
It is best to have no or minimal fluid in the pressure cylinder before
removing and reinstalling the stage 3 shut-off filter as fluid can leak
from the hose.
