[SanConnor]

Keeping your CHAPIN 2060575 Sprayers Choice 2 gal sprayer in top condition ensures it works efficiently and lasts. Here's how to properly clean and maintain it:

Cleaning:

• Always follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning. This is crucial for both safety and sprayer longevity.
• After each use, rinse the sprayer thoroughly with the solvent recommended by the chemical manufacturer.
• Open the shut-off valve to allow water to flush through the discharge assembly. This clears out any residue.
• Pump the unit 8-10 times to ensure a complete rinse, reaching all internal parts.
• Don't forget the wand and nozzle! Rinse them thoroughly after each use to prevent clogs and corrosion.

Maintenance:

• Before any maintenance, release pressure from the sprayer by following the pressure release instructions in your user manual. Safety first!
• After each use, remove the pump and empty the sprayer completely.
• Store the sprayer tank upside down in a warm, dry place with the pump removed. This helps prevent leaks and extends the life of the components.
• Periodically, lubricate the pump. Apply 10-12 drops of light oil down the pump rod through the opening in the cover. This keeps the pump working smoothly.
