6. PRESSURE ADJUSTEMENT
The pressure is adjusted prior to filling the tank by turning
the adjuster cap (A) on top of the pressure tank. After any
pressure in the pressure tank has been released via the shut-
off valve, press down adjuster cap and locate the selected
pressure marker tooth over the tooth on the pressure tank.
Should spray pressure in excess of 4 bar be required we
recommend to replace the pressure valve with the pres-
sure plug(part no. 42 00 215) which is supplied with the
unit. Release any pressure in the pressure tank first before
replacing the valve. A spanner width of 24 mm is required.

-Heavily dilute (approx. 1:10) surplus spray fluid left
over after treatment of field or garden, and spray the
solution over the area you have already treated.
- After every use and especially after the end of the
spraying season, clean and flush the sprayer, tank as
well as all parts which come in contact with chemicals.
- Residues of plant protection chemicals may lead to
corrosion and damage of the sprayer.
- Clean and service wear parts such as nozzles, filters,
gaskets and seals.
- Never clean nozzles with hard objects.
- Any remaining excess spray solution can be heavily
diluted (approx. 1:10 ratio) and applied over the already
treated area.
- Damaged parts should be replaced without delay.
Always use Original Parts.
