Can I spray paint or stain products?
|
You should verify with the product’s manufacturer’s label what the recommended
application is (brush, roller, hand sprayer or airless sprayer). Chapin
sprayers operate with a 35-45 psi, therefore, products which are much
thicker than water or viscous are not recommended.

How do I release pressure from my sprayer?
|
- If your sprayer is equipped with a pressure relief valve, do the following:
- Pull relief valve cap up with fingers to release air.
- Making sure pump handle is locked in position, slowly and carefully
unscrew the pump top by turning counter-clockwise, while pointing
the top of the sprayer away from you.
- If your sprayer is not equipped with a pressure relief valve, do the
following:
- Turn tank upside down. Direct the nozzle away from you and squeeze
open the shut-off lever. This will allow the spray solution in the
discharge assembly and the remaining pressure in the tank to be
completely exhausted.
- Turn sprayer upright. Making sure handle is in locked position,
slowly and carefully unscrew the pump top by turning counterclockwise,
while pointing the top of the sprayer away from you.

Why won’t my sprayer pressurize?
|
We recommend the following:
- Check to be sure your barrel gasket and bottom valve are in place,
free of debris, and are not dry, worn, severely swollen or cracked.
- After completing #1, again try to pressurize, checking for leaks at
hose and fittings.
- Refer to your owner’s manual for routine maintenance or replacement
parts.

will be expelled if you’re having an outlet tube problem.
