in the activation lever area and with the other
hand hold the pump lever hand grip.
Activate the pump lever up and down with a
regular movement so as to put the liquid under
pressure.
Now press the lance lever to open the tap
and spray the liquid onto the vegetation; if the
spray loses intensity activate the pump lever
as required.
During use, keep the lance facing forwards and
never against yourself.
Do not spray upwards so that the nebulised liquid
does not end up around your mouth and nose.
The catch can be engaged (Fig. A pos. 6) so
that the lance stays open.
If you notice any operating faults, consult the
“Problems, causes and solutions” chapter.
After use, activate the pump with clean water,
rinse and empty the tank.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
To transport the pump, hook the lance to the
support (Fig. A pos.13) with the nozzle facing
upwards and lift the pump using the handle
(Fig. A pos.14) .
If the pump is transported in a vehicle make sure
it does not overturn.
Before storage clean the pump carefully fol-
lowing the indications in the “maintenance and
cleaning” chapter and leave it to dry with the
tank open and overturned.
Always use the packaging when storing the
appliance; this will protect it from impact, dust
and humidity which can compromise normal
operation.
Store the pump out of reach of children, away
from heat sources, food, animal feed or drinks
and protected from the sun and frost.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
! !
IMPORTANT! Before any checks or main-
tenance, release the pressure and empty the
tank.
The working life and costs also depend on con-
stant and meticulous maintenance. Take good
care of your appliance and clean it regularly. In
this way its efficiency will be ensured and its
lifespan extended.
OUTSIDE

- Do not use flammable substances, detergents
or solvents but just a damp cloth and water.

chemical agents.
INSIDE (at the end of every use)
- Empty the tank and the lance; rinse numerous
times including the pump unit and filter, so as
