It is very important to keep the safety stickers in location and in good condition as they draw your
attention to possible dangers and refer to the operator's manual.
Check their location on the sprayer and see their meaning in manual No. 82.471 (sprayers safety,

TOREX NOZZLES
IMPORTANT:
The total ow rate of the sprayer should be less than 10% of the
maximumowrateofthepump.
Example:WithaGAMA82pump(owrate:80l/min),donotexceed
aowrateof70/72l/minforthesprayer.
- Openthenozzle:
 Toopenit,turnthenut(3)counterclockwise.
 Toclosethenozzle,turnthenut(3)clockwise.
- Flow rate adjustment:Usetheadjustingscrew(1).
- Wide spray:Obtainedby fullyturning theadjusting screw (1)
clockwise.
- Average spray:Obtainedbyturningthescrew(1)halfaturncounter
clockwisefromthewidesprayposition.
- Narrow spray:Obtainedbyturningthescrew(1)acompleteturn
counterclockwisefromthewidesprayposition.
- Holdingtheowrate:Inordertoholdthesameowratewhenthe
nozzleisadjustedatthedesiredangle,turnthenut(2)againstthe
screw(1)totighten.
- Changingtheorientationofthenozzles:Tochangetheorientation
ofthenozzles,loosenthehexnut(4),orientatethenozzleandtighten
