FIELD OF APPLICATION

This apparatus is exclusively designed for the application of GARDEN
PHYTOSANITARY products, BIOLOGICAL CONTROL products and for the
application of the FORMULAE presented or proposed by the manufacturer
in the formulae booklet accompanying this product or on the manufacturer's
website. The quantities of each ingredient in the FORMULAE must be
strictly respected. Comply with the instructions for use provided by the

- Install the tubing on the dipping tube, then install the pipe on this assembly.
Install the piping on the reservoir (Fig.9).
- Install the piping on the handle (Fig.14-1, Fig.9).
- Install the clip on the lance tube (Fig.9).
- Install the two nuts on the lance tube. Install the nozzle on the lance tube
and the tube on the handle. (Fig.9).
- Install the connector, which is present depending on the model, by clipping
or screwing in depending on the model (Fig. 8).
- Install the carrying strap(s), which are present depending on the model
(Fig.10).
- Put the filling filter in place, which is present depending on the model, when
filling the sprayer (Fig.11). Seal the filter on the neck by pulling on the
strings. Remove the filter before closing the sprayer.
- Storing the lance after use (Fig.10)
- Sprayer not compatible with the pressure regulator manufactured by
HOZELOCK-EXEL ref 283983
- Sprayer not compatible with the HOZELOCK telescopic lance ref 4107
Commissioning / safety rules
- This apparatus is equipped with a switch that allows supply to the lance to be
stopped as soon as the switch is no longer being pressed.
- It is equipped with a safety valve calibrated at the pressure recorded on the
valve or on the reservoir, which limits pressure inside the reservoir.
- The following are recommended:
- Never remove the valve from the apparatus.
- Do not tamper with the operation of the valve.
- For your own safety, the valve must remain in perfect working order.
- Before each pressurizing, check that the valve operates correctly: lift it up
manually and then let go. It should return immediately to its original position. If
e this is not the case, do not pressurise the apparatus.
- Check that the apparatus operates correctly by checking there are no leaks
with several litres of water in the reservoir.
- The apparatus must not be used or stored at temperatures under 5°C or over
40°C, neither during overwintering or during the rest of the year (Figs. 1 and 2).
- The solution to be sprayed must not exceed 25°C (Fig. 3).
s
- Only use in calm weather (no wind).
- Do not use explosive, acidic, and/or corrosive products in the sprayer (Figs. 4

and 5).
- Do not spray in the direction of flames or other heat sources.
- Wear protective clothing, protective gloves, protective goggles and a protective
mask (Fig. 6).
- Do not smoke, eat or drink during use.
- Do not spray in the direction of other people or pets.
- Keep other people and pets at a reasonable distance from the apparatus when
spraying (Fig. 7).
- Help protect the environment, only spray surfaces to be treated.
- Never remove a part of the sprayer without having previously released the
pressure.
- This apparatus must not be used by individuals suffering from fatigue or illness,
or by any person under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other medication.
Filling
-- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the treatment agents (dosage,
application method, rinsing).
- Only prepare the quantity of agent that is strictly necessary and for one
application. It is advisable to use a filter during filling and to avoid any
overflow.
- Dosing is easy due to the graduation scale on the reservoir.
- Preparation of the solution to be sprayed:
a) Powder product (soluble or wettable): prepare the solution in a bucket
before decanting it into the reservoir through the filling hole.
b) Liquid-based product (to be diluted in water): put 1-2 litres of water into
the tank, pour in the dose of liquid product, then fill up with the required
quantity of water.
- Example calculation for obtaining the appropriate sufficient dosage:
- Surface area to be treated: 100 m²
- Dosage: 0.6L/100 m² (information supplied by the treatment product's
manufacturer).
- Spraying pressure: 3 bar.
- Height of nozzle in relation to the ground (or wall): 0.3m.
- Spraying width: 0.6m.
- Advancement speed: 2 kph, i.e. 33.33 m/min.
Therefore:
- Surface area treated in 1 minute = 33.33 m/min x 0.6 m = 20 m²/min.
- Quantity of mixture necessary = surface area to be treated / surface area
During use
- Depending on the apparatus, manually screw the filling cap or the pump on
the reservoir (Fig. 12).
- Pump to pressurise until the valve operates (until a blast of air is released)
(Fig. 13).
- Pressurize the sprayer exclusively with its pump..
- Spray by pressing the handle switch (Fig. 14).
- Adjust the jet by turning the nozzle in both directions (Fig. 15).
- In order to prevent all risks of plug formation, the spray solution must be
prepared in a separate container, before using the filter provided to fill the
sprayer (Fig. 11).
After use / Cleaning
After each use:
- Eliminate any residual pressure that may remain in the apparatus
operating the safety valve, by pulling or pushing it depending on the case, or
by spraying until there is no more pressure.
- Avoid risks of pollution by recovering any unused product and its
packaging.
- Wash your hands and face with fresh water after using the sprayer.
- Never store the sprayer pressurised.
- Never store the treatment agent inside the sprayer.
- Never leave the apparatus in a warm environment, nor out in the sun nor
out in the cold (Figs. 1 and 2).
- Store the sprayer in a sheltered location out of the reach of children.
- Clean the handle filter and the suction filter in the reservoir if present in the
sprayer.
- Clean the filling filter (Fig. 23 )
