- Don’t over-pressurize it. If your knapsack doesn’t pressure up normally, don’t keep pumping; you will break it.
- Release the pressure. After each use, release the pressure. Never store the sprayer under pressure. This reduces the life of hoses, gaskets, o-rings, etc., and increases the risk of freeze damage.
- Prevent freeze damage. Don’t expose the backpack to freezing temperatures. If this is unavoidable, release the pressure, drain all water from the spray valve, hoses, etc.
- It’s a spray wand, not a crowbar. Use the sprayer the way it is supposed to be used. Don’t use the wand to open gates or push obstacles out of the way.
- Ensure knapsack users report problems. Employees will ignore problems and keep using sprayers. Problems always get worse so don’t ignore them.
Knapsack Sprayer Maintenance
- Clean the filter. This is the single most impactful thing you can do to reduce problems and extend sprayer life. Check filter before every use.
- Clean out the backpack. Debris and chemicals can build up in tanks, pumps, hoses, tips, etc. Clean out the tank periodically and flush the sprayer with clean water.
- Clean the tips. Use an old toothbrush and mild dish soap. Do not use needles or any other metal objects, which will damage the tip.
- Replace worn tips. Worn tips apply more product, which costs you money.
- Preventative maintenance saves money. Every year, tear down the knapsack, thoroughly clean all components and replace o-rings and worn parts.
