with the Pressure Sprayer, its proper use and the notes on

persons not familiar with these operating instructions must

Keep these operating instructions in a safe place.
1. Area of application of your GARDENA Pressure
Sprayer
Intended purpose:
The GARDENA Pressure Sprayer is intended for distributing
solvent­free liquid pesticides 1) , herbicides 1) , fertilisers 1) ,
window cleaners 1) , and car wax 1) in domestic gardens and
allotments. It must not be used in public places, parks,
sport arenas, or in agriculture or forestry. Compliance with
the operating instructions provided by the manu facturer is
a prerequisite for using the Pressure Sprayer correctly.
1) In accordance with the laws governing the use of pesticides and detergents,
only authorised substances may be used (authorised specialist shop).
Please note:
Due of the risk of physical injury, the GARDENA Pressure
Sprayer must not be used for spraying substances other
than those specified by GARDENA.
Also, no acids, disinfectants or impregnators, aggressive and
solvent­containing cleaning agents, petrol or spray oil may
be sprayed. We recommend that you only use pesticides
approved by the BBA (German Federal Biological Research
Centre for Agriculture and Forestry). To our knowledge at the
time of manufacturing the unit, the pesticides approved by
the BBA will not damage the materials used to construct the
Pressure Sprayer. When spraying insecticides, herbicides
and fungicides or other liquid plant protection products,
you must comply with all special pre cautionary measures
specified by the manufacturer of the product you are using.
2. Safety instructions
Danger of physical injuries:
Never open the Pressure Sprayer or unscrew the nozzle
when the Pressure Sprayer is still pressurised. To prevent
injury, never connect the Pressure Sprayer to an air­com­
pressor. Always hold Pressure Sprayer upright before the
safety valve

(Fig. A3) is pressed. Before each opening
of the Pressure Sprayer, thoroughly release pressure by
pressing the safety valve.
Danger! Small parts could be swallowed during
assembly and there is a risk of suffocation from the
polybag. Keep infants away during assembly.
Operation:
Inspect the Pressure Sprayer visually before each use. Never
leave your Pressure Sprayer unattended or for long periods
when full and pres surised. Keep the unit out of the reach of
children. You are responsible for the safety of others.
Keep your Pressure Sprayer away from heat sources and hot
environments. Screw on the spray nozzle
1
tightly by hand
(do not use tools) and ensure that the O­ring
7

Cleaning:
Release the pressure after each use, empty the container,
clean it carefully and rinse with clear water. Then leave the
pressure sprayer open and allow it to dry.
Do not dispose of residual fluids in the sewerage system
(local disposal systems). Always clean the Pressure Sprayer
before using a different product to avoid chemical reactions.
When using several Pressure Sprayers, the tanks and spray
nozzle may not be exchanged between them.
