CAUTION: The tank may only be filled with a maximum of 5 litres
liquid. Inspect the Pressure Sprayer visually before each use. Never leave
your Pressure Sprayer unattended or for long periods when full and pres-
surised. Keep the unit out of the reach of children. You are responsible for
the safety of others. Keep your Pressure Sprayer away from heat sources

it to dry. Do not dispose of residual fluids in the sewerage system (local
disposal systems). Always clean the Pressure Sprayer before using a dif-
ferent product to avoid chemical reactions. When using several Pressure
Sprayers, the tanks and spray nozzle may not be exchanged between them.
We recommend that you have your Pressure Sprayer thoroughly inspected
(preferably at a GARDENA Service Centre) after using it for 5years.
