4 Using the pressure sprayer
Ensure that you follow all of the safety
instructions when using the pressure
sprayer.
Every time you use the pressure sprayer, first
check it all over to ensure it is safe to use
according to section 2.2.
4.1 Spraying
For pumping, pump up and down with the pump
button (5) about 10 times until the operating
pressure is reached in the spraying agent tank
(Fig. 3). Overpressure escapes on its own through
the pressure-relief valve (2).
Always hold the pressure sprayer vertically for
spraying.
Point the spray tube at the surface to be sprayed at
a distance of approx. 50 cm.
Actuate the shut-off valve (3) (Fig. 5). The
actuation lever of the shut-off valve can be pushed
forward for permanent actuation (Fig. 7). To stop
spraying, pull the actuation lever of the shut-off
valve back again and release it.
Nozzle adjustment (Fig. 6):
a) Nozzle closed
è hollow cone
Delivery rate at 2 bar:
0.45 l/min [0.119 USgal/min]
b) Nozzle open
(max. 1 turn, 360°)
è coarse and narrow jet
Delivery rate at 2 bar:
0.70 l/min [0.185 USgal/min]
If the spraying agent is not properly dispensed, the
nozzle may be contaminated or damaged. If
necessary, clean or replace the nozzle.
Cleaning: See chap. 5.2
4.2 Residual spraying agents /
finishing spraying
Switch off the pump immediately when any air is
sucked in and sprayed out through the spray
nozzle. This is indicated by a mist being sprayed
from the nozzle. At this point the spraying agent
tank will still contain a residual amount of less than
10 ml [0.3 oz]. If you do not want to fill in any more
spraying agent and want to end spraying, collect
and dispose of the remaining amount according to
the applicable laws and provisions. Observe the
information from the spraying agent manufacturer.
When you finish working, prepare the device for
storage according to section 5.5, thoroughly wash
your face and hands with soap, take off your work
clothing and ensure that it is washed regularly.

5 Maintenance, cleaning and storage
5.1 Greasing the cap gasket
If it is growing more difficult over time to screw the
pump unit onto the tank tightly, silicone grease may
be applied to the contact surface between the lid
seal and the tank edge. For this, it is easiest to
apply a little grease onto the tank edge with a
brush. (Fig. 9)
5.2 Draining the spraying agent tank and
cleaning the spraying agent carrying
parts
The device must be depressurised by actuating the
pressure-relief valve (2) before opening the
spraying agent tank and before disassembly of the
nozzle attachment (Fig. 4)!
Empty the pressure sprayer after use every day.
Collect and dispose of the residual quantity of the
spraying agent according to the applicable law and
provisions. Observe the information from the
spraying medium manufacturer. Flush the spraying
agent tank and all spraying-agent-conducting parts
thoroughly with clean water. Operate the pressure
sprayer once more with clear water.
Let the spraying agent tank dry again in the open
condition after cleaning.
Clean the spraying nozzle as follows after every 50
uses, or if the spraying pattern grows uneven, or if
much less spraying agent then before is
dispensed:
• Screw the nozzle attachment (7) off of the spray
tube (6) and flush with clean water.
• Disassemble the nozzle attachment (Fig. 1).
• Clean the O-rings and the parts of the spraying
nozzle with clean water and a soft brush (Fig. 8).
Do not blow out the spraying nozzle with your
mouth!
Do not clean the nozzle with any hard objects!
• Assemble the individual parts of the nozzle
attachment again.
5.3 Taking the sprayer out of service and
putting it into storage
Prepare the device for storage according to
section 5.2. .
Store the device protected from sunlight in a
secure, dry and frost-free location under a
maximum ambient temperature of 35 °C [95 °F].
There must not be any open fires or similar
nearby.
Ensure that the unit cannot be used by
unauthorised persons, in particular children.
