To ensure the long life of your sprayer, after every use thoroughly rinse the tank, funnel and pump when

cleaning your sprayer. Residual chemical can attack the seals, metal and TriPoxy coating.

Avoid chipping and/or denting of the inside and outside of the tank. Any exposed steel is prone to chemical

attack and can cause poor performance or even failure.

Never store sprayer with chemical left in the tank and thoroughly clean after each use. Seek out Chemical

manufacturer’s instructions for speciﬁc chemical compatibility information.

If any of these conditions are found, replace affected part with original manufacturer’s part

before using.
