The manufacturer is aware of the problem. They have solved the problem and say not every sprayer had this problem. If this would happen, they will definitely replace the sprayer for you.

How do you fasten the straps to the bottom of the sprayer?

There is a slot on bottom on each side that they fit into

I agree with anonymous from Eugene, OR. To prevent strap from ever coming off, I drilled a small hole through the clip and the lip and screw in a very small and short sheet metal screw. It works great.

I had a hard time figuring this out too. I just clipped them in under the bottom of the sprayer. Not sure if this is where they go but it has worked fine for 2 weeks now.

The strap clip just hooks into the rim on the bottom lip of the sprayer. They come off pretty easily but once you have the sprayer on your back they don't seem to come unclipped.

The straps should be crossed at the top brackets and them clipped to the bottom corners of the unit.

The battery is sealed inside the unit and not readily accessible. The unit works extremely well with the supplied battery; i.e. you won't need any external battery..

What is the net weight of this unit?
Hudson #13854
-
nfordnrthn· 13 years ago
The unit empty weighs about 15 pounds. Four gallons of water weighs a little over 33 pounds for a total of 48 pounds. It's pretty heavy on the shoulders. If you are not sure if you could handle it, you probably can't. You can strap it to a hand cart or a golf cart, riding mower, etc.

How much pressure does it have? Does it lose pressure as the battery gets weaker?
-
nfordnrthn· 13 years ago
I'm not sure of the psi off-hand, but you can spray 20 four-gallon loads before the battery needs recharging, so I don't think that losing pressure is a concern.

The operating PSI of this sprayer is 60. The pressure would decrease as the battery weakens.
