Before Starting
Care and Maintenance
Safety Precautions
• Flush tank, valve, and extension with clean water
regularly.
• Do not use ammonia-based cleaners, these
will damage the brass parts.
• Clean the filter at the hose/valve connec-
tion regularly.
• Do not use metal objects to clean the
orifices in the nozzle, this will disrupt
the liquid spray pattern.
• Use the B&G Cleaning Kit
(#22028000) for regular maintenance
and cleaning of the sprayer.
Note:
Residue from wettable powder
(WP), soluble powder (SP), and some
flowable (F) formulations can obstruct
the pump cylinder and valve of the
PestPro Sprayer. Regular flushing with
clean water is required to keep the
sprayer operating properly. Consider
weekly cleaning when the sprayer is
in daily use.
