How to remove sprayer lid

Hello everyone new here,

I have an - eliminator pressure sprayer. - but I'm not sure how to remove the top of it ( lid ) to fill it . Do I just twist it. There was no instructions with item.

 

I don't have this particular model of sprayer but I have used many others.

First, you must release any built up pressure inside the container using the pressure release valve on the side or operate the sprayer wand.

There should be tabs/slots in the lid which locks the pump handle in place - use this locked position to screw and to unscrew the lid.

It may be difficult to unscrew it because of the o-ring seal/gasket. You can lubricate it with a thin layer of vaseline to make it easier for next time.

 

As @misterQ said, but depending on the model, some sprayers have an inner section that you can remove as he said, and sometimes it's the whole lid. Doesn't matter, as long as you get access, and remember to tighten it up well before pumping! I have found with very small (cheap) sprayers that the o ring gets hard quite quickly. My bodge is to wrap an elastic band multiple times around the bottom of the screw thread. It works! For "proper" sprayers, it's worth buying some spare o rings - they perish eventually.

 

There are a few videos on you tube, not really looked at any so not sure if they are any help.
