Trigger Operation
 The trigger mechanism has been designed to allow for two modes of operation, either intermittent or
continuous.
Intermittent
 Depress trigger to operate and release it to stop spraying.
Continuous
 While depressing trigger push forward with the thumb to hold in the lock on position.
 The sprayer will now continue to operate without any further finger pressure, so preventing fatigue.
 To turn off the sprayer pull back the level and release.
 Aim the spray nozzle towards a test area, squeeze the trigger on the lance and adjust the nozzle to the
desired degree of fineness by twisting the nozzle from mist through coarse spray to jet.
 Do not undo the nozzle too far or leakage will occur from the back of the nozzle.
 If the nozzle continues to spray or drip after the trigger has been released, it is because there is air in the
discharge system (lance, handle trigger or hose).
 Purge the system by turning the nozzle to jet and operating the trigger on the lance on and off in short
bursts until the liquid shuts off cleanly.
 Collect any chemicals in a separate container and use later.
 To keep spraying a few pumps at infrequent interval are all that is required.
 After use and before storage release the pressure from the container by pulling the blue knob of the
pressure release valve upwards.
 If the sprayer has been used with chemicals, discard safely any unused solution after use.
 Add a little detergent and some warm water (not hot) to the sprayer.
 Re-assemble the sprayer and spray some of the contents through.
 Repeat with the clean, cold water.
 Check that the nozzle assembly is free from sediment.
 If necessary repeat the process until the sprayer is clean.
5. Spraying chemicals
This sprayer is intended for use with water based solutions of proprietary insecticides, fungicides, weed killers
and follar feeds. Always follow the chemical suppliers on-pack instructions as well as the instructions listed
below.
 Wear protective clothing, goggles, face mask and gloves.
 Avoid inhaling spray mist.
 Avoid skin contact with chemicals.
 Work in a well ventilated area.
 Take care to protect children, pets and fish from exposure to chemicals.
 Wash hands thoroughly after use and especially before eating.
 Wash any contamined clothing.
 Seek medical attention if spray gets in your eyes or if you develop any symptoms after spraying.
 Do not spray near food or food preparation areas. When spraying crops, pay particular attention to the
chemical manufacturer's advice on time before crops can be eaten, etc.
 Do not spray any solvent based material e.g. white spirit.
 Spray only thin watery solutions, thicker mixtures will clog the nozzle.
 Powdered chemicals can be sprayed successfully if they are not completely soluble and the solution tends to
settle, spraying can still be successful so long as the mixture continually agitated.
 If the material to be sprayed contains sediment, strain the liquid into the sprayer bottle.
 Do not over-pressurize the bottle, or tamper with the pressure release valve.
 After use pay particular attention to the paragraph on cleaning.
 Your sprayer is manufactured from many different types of plastic material, and although the liquid you
wish to use may be packed in a plastic container, this is no guarantee that it will not damage the sprayer. If
you are in any doubt about any chemical you intend to spray we recommend that you contact the consumer
service department at the address given the check its suitability.
