To assemble the Clarke 16LBP sprayer, attach the spray wand to the trigger handle, connect the hose to the base of the tank, and secure the pump handle by screwing it into place. Ensure all connections are tight to avoid leaks.
After use, rinse the tank with clean water, pump the water through the system to clear the hose and nozzle, and then let it air dry. This prevents residue build-up and prolongs the sprayer's lifespan.
To prevent clogging, always filter your solution before adding it to the tank and clean the nozzle regularly. If clogging occurs, remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water to dissolve any blockages.
If the pump handle is hard to press, check for any obstructions in the pump mechanism. Lubricate the pump seals with a small amount of silicone spray to improve movement.
To adjust the spray pattern, twist the nozzle tip to change between a fine mist and a direct stream. Test the spray on a small area to ensure the desired pattern is achieved.
Leaks from the tank base may be due to a loose connection. Check the hose connections and the pump assembly for tightness. Replace any damaged seals or O-rings to stop the leak.
The Clarke 16LBP sprayer is designed for general-purpose use. For corrosive chemicals, check the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure compatibility, and always clean the sprayer thoroughly after use.
Perform maintenance on your sprayer after every use by cleaning it thoroughly. Additionally, inspect the seals, hoses, and nozzles monthly for wear and replace them as needed to ensure optimal performance.
If the sprayer loses pressure quickly, check the pump seals for wear and tear. Replace any damaged seals, and ensure the tank is properly sealed when in use.
It is not recommended to store the sprayer with liquid inside for extended periods as this can lead to damage or chemical degradation. Always empty and clean the sprayer after use.
