How often should I clean the sprayer?

It is recommended to rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after each use to prevent chemical residue buildup and maintain performance.

Troubleshooting

Sprayer not building pressure

Ensure the tank lid is securely fastened and the pump piston is properly seated. Check for any leaks around the pump mechanism or hose connections.

Uneven spray or dripping from nozzle

Clean the nozzle thoroughly to remove any debris. Check if the nozzle adjustment is set correctly. Inspect the nozzle seal for damage.

Wheels are difficult to move

Ensure the terrain is suitable for wheeled transport. Check that no debris is obstructing the wheels. Verify the sprayer is balanced and not overloaded unevenly.

Ensure the trigger is fully depressed before attempting to engage the lock. Clean the trigger mechanism if it appears stiff or obstructed.
