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 liquid 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 up to 64 ounces of 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
This backpack sprayer is equipped with a 3 stage filtering
system (Figure 1-3). Stage 1 is a filter basket incorporated
into the tank opening where fluid is added. Stage 2 is a
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 ensure
consistent fluid flow through the sprayer. This will also
reduce sprayer component wear.
To clean the stage 2 filter, point a heavy stream of water
towards the filter to flush debris free. Turn tank upside
down to empty water and debris. Repeat as necessary. If you
are unable to remove the debris, removal of the entire pump
assembly may be required. Please call Chapin customer
service at 1-800-950-4458.
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.
