WARNING!
Do not spray near people who are not using PPE or near
springs, lakes or rivers.
WARNING!
In case of an accident remove the sprayer immediately as
shown in the illustration below.
WARNING!
Use of individual protective clothing and
safety equipment is required.
11.1. Influence of climatic conditions
During application, some factors may determine the interruption of the spraying.
Wind currents, for example, can drag drops to a greater or lesser distance in terms
of its size or weight. The temperature and especially the relative humidity contrib-
ute to the rapid evaporation of the droplets.
The ideal conditions for spraying are:
•
Relative humidity: minimum 50%;
•
Wind speed: 3-10 km / h;
•
Temperature below 30 C.
These limits should be considered according to technology application that
will be used, adopting the safest class droplets within the boundaries of each
situation.

10. Maintenance and Storage
For extended product life, follow these important care instructions:
•
When filling up the tank, always use the strainer provided. This will reduce the
chance of undesirable debris that could damage the pump.
•
Do not operate the sprayer without the pump suction filter. This can severely
damage the pump. Periodically clean or replace this filter as follows:
1.
Empty the tank, make sure the sprayer is turned off and put it upside
down;
2.
Remove screw A;
3.
Remove base cover B;
4.
Unscrew filter cover C;
5.
Clean or replace filtering element D.
•
Only fill the tank with a water soluble agrochemical or an already mixed pow-
der liquid form through the filling filter. Do not prepare mixtures directly in
the sprayer tank;
•
This sprayer is an electronic tool and must be protected from severe environ-
mental conditions. When not using, do not leave the sprayer in sun, rain or
frost;
•
Do not submerge the sprayer completely or partially;
•
After finishing the application, clean and wash all equipment in an approved
decontamination area;
