The Bauer 1 Gallon Cordless Chemical Sprayer (model 19116C-B, Item 57230) is a battery-operated gardening appliance designed for spraying water and water-based fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and sealers. It is powered by a Bauer 20V Li-ion battery (sold separately) and requires a Bauer 20V Li-ion charger (sold separately). The sprayer has a tank capacity of 1 gallon and delivers a maximum output of 28 PSI through a 4-foot hose.

Function Description:

The primary function of this cordless chemical sprayer is to apply various water-based solutions for gardening and landscaping tasks. It allows users to spray chemicals without the need for manual pumping, offering convenience and reducing physical effort. The device features a spray wand with an adjustable nozzle that can be set for either a fan spray or a steady stream, providing versatility for different application needs. The sprayer is designed for ease of use, with an ON/OFF switch and a trigger mechanism that can be locked for continuous spraying.

Important Technical Specifications:

Model: 19116C-B
Item Number: 57230
Charger Type: Bauer 20V Li-ion (sold separately)
Battery Type: Bauer 20V Li-ion (sold separately)
Tank Capacity: 1 Gallon
Maximum Output: 28 PSI
Hose Length: 4 feet

Usage Features:

Cordless Operation: Powered by a 20V Li-ion battery, offering freedom of movement without being tethered to an electrical outlet.
Adjustable Nozzle: The nozzle can be adjusted to produce either a fan spray for broader coverage or a steady stream for targeted application. This adjustment is made by tightening or loosening the nozzle.
Continuous Spraying: The trigger can be pressed down and pushed forward to lock it in the "on" position for continuous spraying, reducing user fatigue during extended use. To stop continuous spray, the trigger is pressed down and pulled back.
Ergonomic Design: The spray wand can be operated either secured in the handle storage area on the sprayer or held in hand, providing flexibility and comfort during use.
Easy Filling: The tank is filled by unscrewing and removing the measuring cup, then pouring in up to one gallon of premixed spray solution.
Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes the importance of following all guidelines regarding chemicals sprayed, including MSDS instructions and EPA regulations. It also advises wearing ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves, and using a face or dust mask if operation is dusty.
Battery Handling: Users are instructed to keep the battery pack dry, avoid opening, dropping, short-circuiting, puncturing, incinerating, or exposing it to temperatures above 140°F. Charging should only be done according to the charger's instructions, and the battery pack should be inspected before every use.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Inspection: Before each use, the sprayer should be inspected for any issues such as a leaking, swollen, or cracked battery pack, loose hardware, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, or any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
Cleaning After Use: After every use, the sprayer must be cleaned to prevent chemical residue buildup. This involves draining any remaining solution, filling the tank one-third full with clean water, running the sprayer until the tank is empty, and repeating as necessary until clean. The motor housing can be removed by lifting two latches to allow the tool to air-dry with the tank open.
Nozzle Cleaning: The nozzle cap can be removed from the nozzle head. A small pin or wire can be used to clear accumulated dirt and debris from the nozzle head holes, followed by flushing with clean water. The nozzle head should then be wiped clean and the cap reattached.
Seal Replacement: Six replacement seals are included with the sprayer. Over time, seals in the spray wand may harden or become damaged, leading to leaks. The manual provides instructions and a diagram for replacing these seals to maintain proper function.
Proper Storage: When dry, the battery pack, charger, and tool should be stored indoors in a dry area, out of reach of children, and away from metal objects to prevent shorting.
Battery Disposal: Li-ion batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly, and users are warned not to short, incinerate, or open the battery.
Professional Servicing: Procedures not specifically explained in the manual should only be performed by a qualified technician. Damaged equipment should not be used, and any abnormal noise or vibration should be corrected before further use.
