Improper use of the sprayer can result in hazardous situations. Always wear protective clothing and equipment to prevent contact with harmful or toxic
products. Prepare the solution in an external container and not in the sprayer tank. Any wettable powders should be perfectly soluble and filtered. Be
careful not to inhale vapours and droplets of the solution delivered. In case of accidental contact and inhalation, consult a doctor. Do not eat, drink or
smoke during treatment. Do not blow into the nozzles with the mouth. Use the sprayer in well ventilated and not-windy areas. In the presence of wind,
do not spray against it. Keep the sprayer away from children and pets. Do not spray near water with fish. Keep the sprayer away from heat sources, do
not leave it exposed to direct sunlight and frost for long. Do not dispose of the unused chemicals into the environment. Do not tamper with the pressure
relief valve. Do not pressurize the sprayer with external equipment (compressors, etc..). Do not unscrew the closure elements if the tank is under
pressure. Before opening the sprayer tank, release all pressure. Do not pressurize the sprayer unnecessarily.
Relieve pressure when not in use. Do not tamper with or modify in any way the sprayer. Before each use, check the condition of the sprayer. Do not
leave it unattended when full and under pressure. The sprayer should always be placed on a horizontal and flat surface. After using the sprayer,
thoroughly wash the hands, face, and clothing used. Repairs should only be carried out by customer service or authorized technicians. Use only original
spare parts.
LIMITED LIABILITY
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by the sprayer if such damage is caused by a failure to heed the instructions for use, improper use, by
a repair performed incorrectly or replacement of spare parts with non-original components, repairs not carried out by the customer service centre or by
a trained technician authorized in writing by the manufacturer himself. The above instruction also apply to components and accessories.
PREPARATION OF THE SPRAYER
Mounting the lance:
loosen (Fig. 8) the ring nut of the lance by turning and pushing it towards the handle, making sure it completely fits into its seat,
then tighten the ring nut by turning it clockwise. Mounting the hose: Completely introduce (Fig. 8) the end of the hose onto the relevant connector of
the handle and tighten the ring nut by turning it clockwise. Mounting the shoulder strap: follow the instructions shown in the figure.
FILLING THE TANK
Pull out the knob of the pressure relief valve (Fig. 2) to make sure the tank is not pressurized and the valve works properly. Unscrew the sprayer (Fig. 3)
and remove it; pour, then, the solution previously prepared and filtered (Fig. 4) up to 2/3 of the total capacity of the tank. Check that the inner edge of
the tank and the sprayer seal are clean, firmly fasten the sprayer clockwise.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Release the handle from hooks by turning it slightly counter-clockwise and pump 4-5 times alternately (Fig. 5), after a few moments pull the knob of the
pressure relief valve and check that air comes out (Fig. 2). At this point you can continue to pump until reaching the desired pressure and in any case
never exceed 3 bars (approximate calibration level of the drain valve). For spraying, act on the handle (Fig.6); adjust the jet depending on the treatment
to be carried out, by turning the terminal part of the sprayer. Choose the desired spray pattern (Fig. 7). When the jet fades it is necessary to restore the
inner pressure of the tank. The sprayer can be transported by hand with the handle hooked or on the shoulder through the suitable straps. For herbicide
treatments use specific nozzles.
AFTER USE
Keeping the sprayer in a vertical position, pull the knob of the pressure relief valve (Fig. 2) and completely remove any residual pressure from the tank;
unscrew and remove the sprayer (Fig. 3). Pour all the remaining liquid into a container and rinse thoroughly with clean water inside the tank and the
hose, spraying clean water through the lance nozzle, open the handle and check regularly that the filter is intact and clean. Place the sprayer, turned
over and the pumping device slightly unscrewed, in a clean, dry place inaccessible to children, protected from sun and frost.
MAINTENANCE
Constantly maintain clean, undamaged and greased the seals, the bottom valve of the spraying element, the interior of the cylinder, the inner edge of
the tank. The breakage or hardening of even one of these components may impair the proper functioning of the sprayer. Be careful to correctly
reassemble the components. In case of poor dispensing quality, clean the end of the sprayer with clean water.
