Substance is too thick for the sprayer. These sprayers are not designed to spray liquids with thicker viscosities (i.e., paint, stains, some sealers, etc.). They are ideal for herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, and other chemicals with the consistency of water (Caution: Never use flammable liquids, caustics, acids, or hot water in these sprayers.) Please contact our customer service if you have a question regarding a specific chemical.
Sprayer wand or nozzle is clogged. Remove the nozzle from the wand. Flush wand, shut-off and nozzle with clean, cold water.
Dip tube filter clogged. If your sprayer is equipped with a filter at the end of the dip tube, it can be removed and cleaned. Simply loosen the hose nut and pull the dip tube out of the tank. Remove the filter and flush out with clean, cold water.
O-Ring is missing from the end of the wand. Remove the nozzle from the wand. Check to make sure there is an o-ring (color may vary) at the end of the wand. If it is missing and cannot be located, the o-ring can be replaced by ordering the Parts Repair Kit.
