Tools Required: wrench, Phillip's screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver
STEP 1: Clean the interior inlet filter.
- With the sprayer turned off and battery removed, set aside the tank lid and intake filter.
- Locate the inlet filter near the bottom of the tank. Gently twist and pull the inlet filter to remove.
- Check the inlet filter for any debris or buildup.
- To clean the inlet filter, rinse it with fresh water until all buildup is cleared. Then, wipe it with a clean cloth.
STEP 2: If the sprayer is new or has not been used in a while, back feed water.
- With the sprayer turned off, remove the spray gun from the hose.
- Hold the end of the hose pointing upward in a container of fresh water and repeatedly bend the hose to push any air out while taking water in.
- Once around three inches of water has entered the hose, remove it from the water and reinstall the spray gun.
- Fill the sprayer tank with a gallon of clean water, turn the sprayer on, and rapidly squeeze and release the spray gun trigger.
STEP 3: Check entire inlet filter.
- Remove the cover plate using the Phillip's head screwdriver.
- Taking the flathead screwdriver, loosen the hose clamp securing the jumper hose to the inlet filter.
- Disconnect the jumper hose and hose clamp from the inlet filter. You may need to remove the screws securing the pump in place to fully detach the jumper hose.
- Hold the inlet filter from inside the sprayer tank and turn the exterior part counterclockwise until the two parts separate. It may be helpful to use a wrench to turn the inlet filter.
- Check all parts of the inlet filter for debris and clean if necessary.
