Mix solution in a separate receptacle, following manufacturer's directions on the container. 3. Pour pre-mixed solutions into sprayer and cap. 4. Place sprayer on back and pressurize tank by pumping approximately 10 to 15 times. For best results, the sprayer should be pumped every 5 seconds on a continuous basis.
