pressure level
To turn on the sprayer function, in case the sprayer is in the doser function, follow
the steps below:
NOTE: Before starting to use the sprayer, retighten the hose clamps to avoid con-
taminating the operator and the environment.
•
Install a charged battery;
•

•
Push the green button and hold it down for 10 seconds. The sprayer will be
started in the sprayer function.
•
Aim the spray lance to a safe position and open the trigger valve to start
spraying;
•
Push the green button to choose the different pressure levels. When the max-
imum pressure level is reached, the pressure will return to the minimum level
in case the green button is nor pushed again.
To turn the sprayer OFF:
•
Close the trigger valve. The pump internal pressure switch will automatically
shut off the pump (sprayer will be idle). However, the electronic interface will
remain on.
•
Push the red button and hold it down for 3 seconds until the panel is shut off;
•
Aim the spray lance to a safe position and open the trigger valve to release

NOTE: If the sprayer remains idle for more than 10 minutes, the electronic interface
will shut off automatically.
•
The agitation system will be shut off when the trigger is pushed to start spray-
ing. This ensures higher pressure at the nozzle tip;
•
Turn on the agitation system periodically when spraying wettable powder
products, products that are difficult to dilute or that decant easily.
NOTE: pressure at the nozzle tip will be weaker while the agitation system is on.
WARNING!
The sprayer may not work properly if this procedure is
