9 Use of the device
 Do not use the sprayer in wind or rain.
 Check the direction of the air movement before
starting work and spray with the air movement,
not against it.
 Do not spray towards persons, animals, open
doors and windows, cars or other objects that
may be hurt or damaged by the spray.
 Ensure that only the actual spray target will be
wetted. Always aim to obtain even and
homogenous distribution of the spray on the
treated surfaces.

An uneven spray picture or reduced spray output
from the nozzle may require cleaning of the nozzle
filter insert and nozzle (chap.10.3) or the
replacement of these parts.
If the spray output is clearly reducing, end spraying
and charge the battery. (chap. 7.4)
Always turn the pump off with the on/off switch
during work interruptions in which the device is
placed on the ground.
9.1 Disposal of residual spray volume
Residual spray volumes of less than 200 ml
[6.8 oz] are no longer pumped effectively. Either
add more spray formula and continue spraying or,
when finishing off, dilute the residual volume with
2 litres [68 oz] of clean water and apply to the
already treated area.
At the end of work, turn off the pump with the on/off
switch, empty and clean the device according to
chap. 10.4, clean your face and hands thoroughly,
take off work clothing and wash it regularly.
9.2 Ending spraying
At the end of work, turn off the pump with the on/off
switch.
In order to depressurise the device, keep the spray
tube in the spraying agent tank or a suitable
collection container with the pump turned off for the
spraying agent until no liquid escapes anymore.
Remove the battery and store it securely.
Empty and clean the device according to chap.
10.3, clean your face and hands thoroughly, take
off work clothing and wash it regularly.
10 Maintenance, cleaning and storage
10.1 Maintenance plan
Before starting work:
 Check the entire sprayer is operationally safe by:
o Visual inspection of the sprayer
o Checking the tightness of all parts (with the
hand valve opened and closed).
o Checking the working of all functional parts
(on/off switch, hand valve).
o Checking the hoses and their screw
connections.
o Visual inspection of the filter screen in the
filler basket.
After the end of work, when changing the spray
formula, whenever required:
 Cleaning the spray tank chap. 10.3
 Cleaning the nozzle and filters chap. 10.3
 Cleaning the filter screen in the filler basket
chap. 10.3
10.2 Test run
When the spraying season starts and then every
month, the following items must be checked in a
test run with clean water:
 Tightness of all device parts in pump operation
with the hand valve opened and closed
 Function of the hand valve; no spraying agent
must escape with the hand valve closed (hand
valve not actuated).
 Dosage and distribution accuracy
In case of irregularities, damage, leaks or limited
function, do not use the sprayer but have it
checked in a specialist workshop without delay.
10.3 Empty the spray tank and clean all the
parts in the spray delivery system to the
nozzle
Turn off the pump, depressurise the device,
remove the battery, and store it securely.
Empty the spray tank, flush with clean water all
parts in the delivery system to the nozzle and the
filter screen in the filler basket.
