WARNING
• Please use correctly, observing the precautions in this Manual ("For Safe Operation", p5 to 7).
• Before lifting the sprayer onto your back, check that the chemical tank and fuel tank caps are
tightly closed.
• When spraying, do not point the nozzle at your face, or at other people, animals, etc.
• If the sprayer is tilted too much, chemical fluid or fuel may leak out through the air holes in the
cap. When using, always try to maintain an upright posture.
!
IMPORTANT
• If the chemical tank becomes empty while spraying, reduce the engine to low speed
immediately. Empty running of the engine may cause the spray pump to break.
• Please avoid using multiple nozzles, jet nozzles, or other nozzles that give a large spray volume,
as spraying efficiency is sometimes impaired owing to insufficient pressure.
• Spraying procedure
1. Start the engine, and lift the sprayer onto your back.
2. Adjust the carrying band to a suitable length for carrying.
3. Increase the engine speed, and open the spray cock. Chemical fluid starts to spray out from the
nozzle in the form of mist.
4. When stopping work, close the spray cock fully and reduce the engine speed.
• Cleaning after completion of spraying
1. Loosen the fluid drain cap , transfer the chemical fluid left inside the tank into a suitable
container, and process appropriately with all due consideration to safety.
2. Pour about 5 litres of clean water into the chemical tank, spray through the nozzle for 2-3
minutes, and drain the water left inside the tank.
