Use a Cocktail stick in the spray end encase it is conjiled. Soak the spray end in Hot soapy water and then spray within the bowl to try and release it. Best wishes.
We buy a cleaner from Tractor Supply that we use every time we use our sprayer. Researching showed if you don't clean it after every use it will ruin the sprayer. We have the electric one which is rather expensive. You can also run water through it to clean it after using. One the 2 gallon, I usually don't bother and replace when it gets clogged. I have been successful using a mixture of white vinegar & warm water 50/50 with a squirt of blue dawn when I've had issues.
This can be a frustrating situation. Very often with my pressurize chemical sprayer I would carry around a thin piece of wire to help ream out the sediment that was in my spray tip that caused the obstruction. A more thorough tip cleaning might be necessary.
A call to the manufacturer might be helpful. They may offer the safest and simple suggestions.
Alternatively s-Here are some helpful tips.
Clean your nozzles - Herbicide will often clog up your spray tips first as these are at the end of your spraying system.
Pro tip: If your sprayer has a valve between the tank and boom, shut it off when it sits.Use clean water - Clean water free of insects or debris will eliminate a lot of the clogging. Always use clean water when you are mixing with herbicide. Hard well water and water with foreign minerals can react badly with both Round-up and 2-4-D.
Hi David, Unclog the sprayer tip. If product crystallizes in the sprayer tip it will prevent the wand from spraying. Soak the sprayer tip in warm soapy water to loosen any residue. (Do NOT submerge the wand in water.)
I found the same happened with our sprayer; I really should have cleaned it out thoroughly after using, with lots of rinsing and spraying the clean water out.
Soak your sprayer tip in some warm water hopefully that loosens up whatever is built up in the sprayer tip.
