Parking the Sprayer

To avoid spot contamination, the sprayer must always be parked at either the filling/washing location or under a roof to
avoid rainfall washing chemical residues from the sprayer’s surfaces.

•

Parking at the washing/filling location will retain residues.

•

Always park the machine out of reach of children, animals and unauthorized persons.

Quick reference - Operation

In the following diagram, handle positions for different options are described.
