Caution:
Contents under pressure. Read this
before operating.
• Release pressure from the sprayer unit before
refilling or replacing parts. This is done by
pressing the on/off trigger and letting out as
much air or liquid as possible through the
lance and nozzle assembly.
Note:
Even though the bottle may have no
liquid left inside, the actual pump chamber
may still contain residual fluid in it.
To empty the residual fluid, press and lock
the on/off trigger for continuous spraying,
then pump handle for a few times and ensure
that all liquid and air is fully expelled before
unscrewing either the container or pump cap.
• Inspect the condition of all fittings before
each use. Replace any worn or damaged
parts. Do not attempt to use with damaged or
suspect parts.
• The sprayer is made from different types
of plastic material, and although the liquid
you may wish to use is packed in a plastic
container, it is not guaranteed that it will not
damage the sprayer. The sprayer is designed
to be used with a broad range of domestic
water based pesticides, herbicides, and
fertilisers. The use of heavy duty industrial
strength chemicals may be detrimental to the
safe operation of the sprayer.
• For correct chemical usage follow chemical
suppliers on-pack instructions.
