For safety reasons, children under 16 as well as persons not familiar

1. Area of application of your GARDENA Pressure Sprayer
Intended purpose:
The GARDENA Pressure Sprayer is intended for distributing solvent-free
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 solvent-
containing 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 air-compressor. Before pulling out the
safety valve
5
(Fig.
A3
), the sprayer always has to be placed vertically.
Before opening the sprayer, always release pressure completely by
pulling out the safety valve.
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 handle
7
on tightly by hand (do
not use tools) and ensure the correct position of the O-ring
!
(Fig.
B1
).
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 handle may not be exchanged between them.
Storage:
Before storing, loosen the tank cap and always empty your Pressure
Sprayer completely (also after cleaning with water). Store away from
frost. If you use the permanent lock
"
(Fig.
B3
) pay attention that you
work very carefully. Never store your pressure sprayer with permanent
lock.
