Troubleshooting
Sprayer not building pressure
Ensure the pump handle is fully operated. Check that the tank cap is securely sealed. Inspect the pump piston and seals for any damage or debris. Verify that the valve between the tank and pump is open.
Uneven or sputtering spray from the nozzle
Clean the nozzle and its integrated filter. Ensure the spray liquid is properly mixed, especially if using concentrates or wettable powders. Check the internal agitator's function. Verify that the tank is not over or underfilled.
Leaking from pump handle or seals
Inspect the pump seals and O-rings for wear or damage. Tighten any accessible connections. If seals are damaged, they may need replacement.
Shoulder straps uncomfortable or slipping
Adjust the shoulder straps for a snug fit. Ensure the weight of the sprayer is distributed evenly. Check that the straps are correctly attached to the sprayer.
