8 Preparing the spray liquid and filling the
spray tank
Prepare the spray liquid according to the
instructions of the chemical manufacturer.
Always prepare the spray liquid outdoors, never in
living quarters, stables or storage rooms for food
and animal feed.
To fill the spray tank, always remove the
rechargeable battery from the unit and close the
protective cover for the rechargeable battery
compartment.
When filling the spray tank, always use the filler
basket with the integrated filter screen (r).
Fill the tank no further than to the upper-most mark
on the side of the spray tank.
Overfilling the tank or spills can contaminate public
waterways, rain- and storm water channel and
must be avoided.
Wipe off spilled spray liquid without delay.
When screwing on the tank cap, always position it
straight, do not misjudge.
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.

To spray, depress the hand lever on the valve.
Release the hand valve lever to stop spraying.
To spray the underside of leaves, lightly loosen the
spray wand cap nut and turn the wand hand tighten

An uneven spray picture or reduced spray output
from the nozzle may require cleaning the nozzle
(chap.10.3) or the replacement of it.
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
taken off the back.
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.
9.2 Stop spraying
At the end of work, turn off the pump with the on/off
switch.
To depressurize the device, hold the spray tube in
the spray tank or in a suitable container for spray
agent with the pump switched off and operate the
manual valve until no more liquid escapes.
Remove the battery and store it safely.
Empty and clean the device according to chap.
10.3, clean your face and hands thoroughly, take
off work clothing and wash it regularly.
