- Safety Precautions:
- Never spray flammable, caustic, acidic, heat, pressure, or gas-producing chemicals.
- Always read and follow chemical manufacturer's instructions.
- Do not leave chemicals or solutions in the sprayer after use.
- Always wear protective clothing, including respiratory protection masks, gloves, and eye protection, when using chemicals.
- Do not modify the sprayer; use only FlowZone® branded replacement parts.
- Do not use wet or damaged batteries.
- Inspect the hose, power knob, wand, and gun for damage before each use.
- Carry the sprayer by the handle only, not the hose or wand.
- Spray only when the air is calm to prevent chemical drift.
- Keep the sprayer and chemicals out of reach of children.
- Avoid storing the sprayer in extremely high temperatures to prevent pressure build-up and potential explosion.
- Do not immerse the sprayer, battery, or charger in fluids.
- Never spray toward electrical outlets.
- Ensure the spray area is well ventilated.
- Avoid spraying on windy days.
- Cold Weather Operation: The Lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures down to 32°F. For cold temperatures, place the battery in the compartment and use the sprayer in a light-duty application for about a minute to allow the battery to warm up and operate normally.
- Battery Protection Features: The battery packs are designed with features to protect the cells and maximize battery life. If the sprayer stops during use, releasing the trigger will reset it. If it still doesn't work, the battery needs recharging.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning After Use: After using chemicals, dispose of any extra product according to manufacturer instructions. Rinse the tank with warm, soapy water, then spray fresh water through the sprayer for 3-5 minutes to clear out residual chemicals from the gun, wand, tank, pump, and hose.
- Draining: Disconnect the spray gun from the hose and allow the hose to hang down to drain any remaining liquid.
- Drying: Thoroughly dry the sprayer tank and clear nozzles of any buildup.
- Storage: Store the sprayer in a dry, clean, and shaded place, protected from extreme heat or frost.
- Long-term Battery Storage: For long-term storage, regular charging of the battery is required to maximize battery life. Check the battery level using the indicator lights every 4 weeks and recharge if it falls below 3 bars. Do not allow the battery to fully discharge. Store the battery pack below 80°F and away from moisture.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as the sprayer not turning on (dead battery, defective/damaged part), leaks from the tank (loose hose connection), leaks from the gun/nozzle (loose hose connection, missing/worn gasket), clogged pump/hose/gun/wand/nozzle (not rinsing parts with water after use), and pump making sound but limited output (clog in filter/nozzle, clog in pump).
