ATTENTION:
Remove all chemicals before storing
the sprayer. Chemical products have
different reactions and can damage
the sprayer components as well as
cause personal injury.

until the
discharge
runs clear.
CLEANING THE SPRAYER
- After nishing the spray application, clean and wash all equipment in an approved
decontamination area.
13- MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
Periodically remove the chamber and lubricate the pis-
tons.In sequence, clean and grease the rod linkage,
as described :
- Pull up the protector (1).
- Loosen the fastener (2).
- Remove the rod (3) from the hole of ball compartment .
Clean and deposit the grease in this compartment (4).
- Proceed the assembling in reverse sequence of the
disassembling.
- Lubricate the others compomnents, as shown.

- Take the container cap off and carefully pour the rinse water into
the spray tank.
- Keep holding the container over the spray tank opening
for approximately 30 seconds to the last drop.
- REPEAT this operation twice more. This way, you complete the
TRIPLE WASH.
- Next, make the plastic and metallic containers
useless by piercing with a pointed instrument the
containers bottom. This way, their labels are not
damaged for identication purposes.
- The useless containers can be stocked temporarily in an appropriate place, until nal destina-
tion.
- In the case of mid and large size container (50, 100 and 200 liters), after washing with the ap-
propriate volume (1/4 of the total) and tting the cap, roll it on the ground during approximately
30 seconds.
- Then in the upright position complete the agitation by moving back and forth for approximately
30 seconds.
- Then, empty the container by pouring the rinse water into the spray tank.
- REPEAT this operation twice more. In the last one, empty totally the container by pouring rinse
the water in the spray tank.
- The least the quantity of rinse water that remains in the container, from one wash to the next,
the most perfect and complete will be the decontamination.
- For the performance of the TRIPLE WASH, do not use a water volume either much lower or
much higher than 1/4 of the container capacity.
-The TRIPLE WASH must be done IMMEDIATELY AFTER emptying the container, during the
preparation of the solution

14- CYLINDER VALVE MAINTENANCE
ASSEMBLING
- Using a pen, install the diaphragm into the
cylinder as shown in the gure below.
- Replace the cylinder on the sprayer and
tighten the two bolts (1).
- Remount the chamber on the cylinder.
DISASSEMBLING
- Remove the chamber from the cylinder.
- Loosen both cylinder fastening bolts (1).
- Remove the cylinder (2).
- Remove the diaphragm (3).
- Wash or replace the diaphragm.

Even the containers considered empty contain chemical residues.
Some publications show that somewhere around 0.3% of the chemicals remains in the
container after being used.
Therefore, discarding the containers without washing out the residues is extremely dan-
gerous to man, animals and environment.
In the case of metal, plastic and glass chemical containers, each container must be rinsed
three times to ensure the residues are completely removed.
This manual describeds how to make the TRIPLE WASH in a correct, safe and effective
way.
-During the TRIPLE WASH, you must use appropriate protective clothing, such as: gloves, apron,
boots, goggles and protective masks with appropriate lters.
- IMMEDIATELY AFTER emptying the container, you must keep it with
the opening upside down over the sprayer tank opening or over the
bucket that you are using to prepare the chemical mixture for at least
30 seconds, until no residue is left in the container, when the drops are
falling in long intervals.
- Next, hold the container in the upright position and ll it
with water up to 1/4. For example: in a 20-liter container,
put 5 liters of water.
- Fit the container cap and tight it enough to avoid leakage
during the agitation.
- Agitate the container strongly in all ways (horizontal and
vertical), during approximately 30 seconds to remove the
residues that are sticked to the container internal walls.

15- TROUBLESHOOTING
- Put about 2 liters of water in the tank.
- While operating the lever, look into the tank to see how the problem arises.
- Refer to the table and diagram below.

CORRECTIONS
Worn or dried out piston cup. Replace or lubricate
the piston cup.
Leakage through the cylinder
upper part (1).
After pumping and pressurizing
the chamber, as you operate the
lever it drops fast.
Cylinder valve (2) not sea-
ling properly due to wear or
impurities.
Clean or replace the
valve.
After pumping and pressurizing
the chamber, the lever rises
slowly when released.
Chamber valve (3) not sea-
ling properly due to wear or
impurities.
Clean or replace the
valve.
PROBLEM CAUSES
It is necessary great effort to
act the lever and the spray
stops rapidly.
Air leakage through the nut
that fastens the hose to the
chamber.
Drain all the liquid
from the chamber.
Tighten the nut.

- Do not eat, drink or smoke while
spraying.
- Do not pollute the environment.
- Keep the pro-
ducts out of reach
of children and
animals.
ATTENTION: The clothing used during the application must be washed separate
from other clothes of ordinary use.
- After nishing the spray application, take
a shower with plenty of water and soap.
- Put on clean clothes.
- Lockup the chemicalproductstoprevent
untrained persons to handle them.
ATTENTION: In case of poisoning, see a doctor immediately and show
him the chemicals manufacturer's label.
CALIBRATION OF MANUAL KNAPSACK SPRAYER
PROCEDURE
USING CALIBRATOR BOTTLE (OPTIONAL)
- Hold the lance at the working height and spray
to measure the application band width.
- Based on the band width, calculate the total
walking distance required to spray the desired
area. Use the chart below.

- Attach the calibrator bottle to the lance
as
shown:
A - Remove the cap, nozzle and lter.
B - Mount the calibrator cover to the
lance.
C - Reinstall the lter, nozzle and cap.
D - Screw the calibrator onto the cover.
- Hold the lance at the normal working height and spray into the bottle while walking the
distance required to spray an area corresponding to 25 m².
- Place the bottle on a level surface and observe the liquid level visible through the side
of the bottle. Match the liquid level to the corresponding scale on the calibrator bottle.
- Empty the bottle and repeat this operation to determine the average of two or more
readings.
