Cleaning the Spray Tip
To clean the spray tip:
- If the spray tip opening is clogged, do not use a pin or pointed object to unclog the tip. Unscrew the spray pump unit from the bottle by turning it counter-clockwise (to the left).
- Soak only the spray pump unit in warm water. Squirt several times while holding it under water. Use the pumping action to clear the opening in the tip.
- Let the spray pump unit air dry. Make sure it is dry before you put it back onto the bottle.
- Put the spray pump unit back into the open bottle and tighten it by turning clockwise (to the right).
- To keep the medicine from leaking out, use firm pressure when you put the pump back onto the bottle.
After cleaning, follow the instructions for priming.
