Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unscrew the pump mechanism from the 10L tank.
- Carefully pour the desired cleaning solution (e.g., Pro-Kleen Dragon's Blood or a diluted garden product) into the tank, ensuring not to exceed the maximum fill line.
- Screw the pump mechanism back onto the tank securely.
- Ensure the spray lance is properly attached to the pump outlet.
- Pressurize the tank by pumping the handle up and down several times until resistance is felt.
- Aim the lance and gently squeeze the trigger to begin spraying.
Compatibility:
The Pro-Kleen 10L Pump Sprayer is compatible with a wide range of liquid cleaning agents, fertilizers, and weed killers. However, it is crucial to avoid mixing incompatible chemicals. When using aggressive cleaning agents like acidic wheel cleaners, ensure the sprayer's seals and components are resistant. The brass lance offers good resistance to many common substances.
Care:
- Rinsing: After each use, and especially when switching between different types of solutions (e.g., car cleaner to plant food), thoroughly rinse the tank, pump mechanism, and lance with clean water. Fill the tank partially with clean water, pressurize, and spray through the lance. Repeat several times.
- Storage: Store the sprayer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the tank is empty and the pump is depressurized before storing to prevent seal damage.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the pump seals, O-rings, and nozzle for wear or blockage. Clean any debris from the filter at the base of the suction tube.
