- If there is still some unused treatment product left, eliminate any residual
pressure remaining in the apparatus by operating the safety valve (Fig.
16). Recover any possible excess of product and rinse the sprayer again
as indicated above.
- Before using again, even if it is used again immediately, with a different
spraying solution, repeat the rinsing operation 3 consecutive times.
- Before using again, even if it is used again immediately, with the same
treatment product or a different one, check that the sprayer works properly
(especially the valve). treated in 1 min x nozzle output = 100 m²/20 m²/min
x 0.66L/min = 3.3 litres; i.e. 3.3-0.6 = 2.7 litres of water and 0.6 litres of
treatment product.
- This calculation is only given as an indication. During actual use, take into
account the information provided by the manufacturer of the treatment
product and the data on the nozzle output table.
MAINTENANCE
- Periodically, on re-use after overwintering and several times per season,
grease all the joints (with silicone grease for sprayers) and check that the
sprayer is working properly (especially the valve).
- Clean the nozzle and the nozzle holder (Fig. 20)
- Clean the lance filter (Fig. 21)
- Remove the pump (Fig.22)
- Grease or replace the valve and the seals (Fig.22)

COMMISSIONING / SAFETY RULES
- This apparatus is equipped with a switch that allows supply to the lance to be
stopped as soon as the switch is no longer being pressed.
- It is equipped with a safety valve calibrated at the pressure recorded on the
valve or on the reservoir, which limits pressure inside the reservoir.
- The following are recommended:
- Never remove the valve from the apparatus.
- Do not tamper with the operation of the valve.
- For your own safety, the valve must remain in perfect working order.
- Before each pressurizing, check that the valve operates correctly: lift it up
manually and then let go. It should return immediately to its original position. If
this is not the case, do not pressurise the apparatus.
- Check that the apparatus operates correctly by checking there are no leaks
with several litres of water in the reservoir.
- The apparatus must not be used or stored at temperatures under 5°C or over
40°C, neither during overwintering or during the rest of the year (Figs. 1 and 2).
- The solution to be sprayed must not exceed 25°C (Fig. 3).
This apparatus is exclusively designed for the application of GARDEN
PHYTOSANITARY products, BIOLOGICAL CONTROL products and for the
application of the FORMULAE presented or proposed by the manufacturer
in the formulae booklet accompanying this product or on the manufacturer's
website. The quantities of each ingredient in the FORMULAE must be
strictly respected. Comply with the instructions for use provided by the
manufacturer of these solutions. For any other application, you MUST
consult the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: This apparatus must not contain or be used to spray chlorine,
solvents or acetone-based or acid-based products (except vinegar). Nor

- This apparatus must not be used by individuals suffering from fatigue or illness,
or by any person under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other medication.
FILLING
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the treatment agents (dosage,
application method, rinsing).
- Only prepare the quantity of agent that is strictly necessary and for one
application. It is advisable to use a filter during filling and to avoid any
overflow.
- Dosing is easy due to the graduation scale on the reservoir.
- Preparation of the solution to be sprayed:
a) Powder product (soluble or wettable): prepare the solution in a bucket
before decanting it into the reservoir through the filling hole.
b) Liquid-based product (to be diluted in water): put 1-2 litres of water into
the tank, pour in the dose of liquid product, then fill up with the required
quantity of water.
DURING USE
- Depending on the apparatus, manually screw the filling cap or the pump on
the reservoir (Fig. 12).
- Pump to pressurise until the valve operates (until a blast of air is released)
(Fig. 13).
- Pressurize the sprayer exclusively with its pump..
- Spray by pressing the handle switch (Fig. 14).
- Adjust the jet by turning the nozzle in both directions (Fig. 15).
- In order to prevent all risks of plug formation, the spray solution must be
prepared in a separate container, before using the filter provided to fill the
sprayer
(Fig. 11).
AFTER USE / CLEANING
After each use:
- Eliminate any residual pressure that may remain in the apparatus
operating the safety valve, by pulling or pushing it depending on the case, or
by spraying until there is no more pressure.
- Avoid risks of pollution by recovering any unused product and its
packaging.
- Wash your hands and face with fresh water after using the sprayer.
- Never store the sprayer pressurised.
- Never store the treatment agent inside the sprayer.
- Never leave the apparatus in a warm environment, nor out in the sun nor
out in the cold (Figs. 1 and 2).
- Store the sprayer in a sheltered location out of the reach of children.
- Clean the handle filter and the suction filter in the reservoir if present in the
sprayer.
- Clean the filling filter (Fig. 23 )
- If you spray until there is just air in the jet: eliminate residual pressure
remaining in the apparatus by operating the safety valve or by spraying until
there is no more pressure (Fig. 16). The residual volume of liquid is less
than 250 ml.
- Before storing and before any other use with another treatment agent,
perform a rinsing operation, i.e. put 1 litre of water into the reservoir for
dilution (Fig. 17), mix thoroughly and operate the apparatus to rinse all of the
sprayer's components. This rinsing operation must be carried out without
removing any of the accessories used during the treatment. This rinsing
mixture must not be emptied into a sewer but must be sprayed outside on
the land that has already been treated.
- Repeat the operation several times before overwintering.
