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.
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 tank cap

tight by hand (do not
use any tools) and check the correct fit of the O-ring
$
(Fig.
B1).
Cleaning:
Release the pressure after each use, empty the container, clean it
carefully, rinse it with clear water and clean the sieve
8
. 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. If more than one Pressure Sprayer is used, tanks and tank
caps must not be interchanged.
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
E
(Fig.

work very carefully. Never store your pressure sprayer with permanent
lock.
