Push the pump handle all the way down and turn counter clockwise into the locked position. Continue to turn the pump handle counter clockwise until the entire lid starts to turn and unscrew. This can be difficult sometimes if the lids are put on very tight.
Causes: Bad seal around the lid of the pump, dirt/debris on the check valve, crack/seam in the tank. Solution: If the air leak is due to a bad seal under the lid, you will need to replace the lid o-ring. Many pump sprayer manufacturers offer repair kits that contain the lid o-ring.
The Pressure Relief Valve is an integral part of the sprayer, allowing both the manual release of pressure for safe emptying and acting as a safety blow-off valve that will relieve excess pressure to prevent over pressurising.
Unlock by lightly pushing downward on the raised tab with a fingernail until it snaps into place. If the raised arrow in the top of the nozzle is pointing to X, the nozzle is CLOSED. Twist to the desired spray setting – SPRAY or STREAM. Remember to twist the nozzle back to CLOSE after using.

What does “Lid” mean? Common terminology used in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s to describe approximately an ounce of cannabis. While the origin of this term varies, many agree that it comes from the specific style of coffee cans used during the 1960s, the lids of which peeled off like sardine tins.
Unlike the rubber bulb dispenser which primarily moved air with a small amount of fluid, modern spray bottles use a positive displacement pump that acts directly on the fluid. The pump draws liquid up a siphon tube from the bottom of the bottle and forces it through a nozzle.

Sprayer wont spray or hold pressure
ANSWER : We use the both the 425 and 475 solo sprayers most days at work and when they start to lose pressure ( after 6 months of daily professional use) we purchase a complete seal kit and put it through them. The only part I can’t work out how to remove is the inside cylinder, other than that everything else is easily removed and replaced.
