WARNING! Always completely fill the device with water before heating it. If the device is heated
without water or with too little water, it will overheat and be damaged. Fire hazard!
LOOK OUT! If the safety cap is not tightened properly, or it is misaligned, there may be some
steam coming from under the cap when device is heating / hot. Tighten the cap until
steam is no longer leaking.
LOOK OUT! If the pressure inside the device increases too much, the excess pressure is released
through the safety valve. During that there might be some steam coming out under
the machine and a loud rustle noise be heard. This is completely normal function of
that safety valve.
LOOK OUT! The use of gloves is recommended.
NOTE! Do not use sea water or salted water! Always prefer clean or filtered water. The use of
surface or collected water is allowed but filtering is recommended.
NOTE! Do not add any chemicals or substances into the tank!
NOTE! Do not re-heat the water before the tank is filled again.
NOTE! The device is heavy, follow extreme caution when moving with the device.
NOTE! If the use of extension cord is required for powering the product, make sure it is suitable
for rated current (16 A or 10 A, check products CE-sticker and chapter 9. Technical data). If
uncertain, contact the dealer for technical support.
Step by step operation instructions
To operate the device, follow these step-by-step instructions below. See also the quick start
instruction sticker.
STEP 1: Open the safety cap and add water until the tank is completely full. Use clean/filtered
water. Do not use sea water! Tank is full when the water level is clearly seen from the
filling neck. If tank is overfilled, excess water will leak out of the pressure lock and the
filling neck (picture A, no. 9).
STEP 2: Insert and tighten the safety cap. Make sure that one of the alignment slots are
aligned like in picture A, no. 8. One of the slots should be pointed directly downwards.
STEP 3: Insert power plug to socket. Heating will automatically start. Red light indicates that
heating is on, green indicates that the power plug is inserted, and power is on. If the
use of extension cord is required to power the product, make sure it is suitable for
rated current (see chapter 9. Technical data).
If steam is leaking under the safety cap when the device is heating, slightly tighten the
cap. If this doesn’t help, remove power plug from socket and wait until the device is
cooled down. Then tighten the cap and repeat step 3 and continue to steps 4 and 5.
WARNING! Never open or attempt to open the cap when the device is hot or
warming up!

STEPS 4 & 5: Device is ready to operate when red light goes off. When that happens, disconnect
the power plug from the socket and coil the cord so that it’s not in a way when
moving or working with the device. Never do weed controlling when the power plug
is inserted. This may damage the heating element! Always disconnect the power
plug before going to work! The device will automatically keep the water at boiling
temperature when heated for long periods of time. Heating will automatically go on
and off if required.
STEP 6: Transfer the device to area where weed controlling needs to be done. Take out the
treatment lance and point the head into weeds. Press the trigger gun and the water
will flow out of the lance.
Water temperature
Out coming water will sizzle and steam. That is normal when the water is at boiling point. If the
water is not steaming or sizzling, that means the water is too cold to be used at weed controlling.
Re-fill the device before re-heating it.
Re-filling the device
Before the device can be re-filled, the device must be allowed to release the pressure inside the
tank.
The safety cap is designed to be locked when there is pressure inside the device. Do not try to force
the cap open when the device is hot! When the device cools down, the pressure decreases, and the
safety lock will open unlocking the safety cap. Then the device can be re-filled.
When the tank is empty, follow the instructions above to start working again.
Decalcification
To ensure long-term functionality, you should decalcify the device 1-4 times a year depending on
how much the device is used. To decalcify, fill the tank with water, add antiliming agent as instructed
and let it sit for about one hour. Then empty the tank and rinse it with clean water.
As limescale builds up in the appliance, the pressure lock function may be impaired. Check that the
pressure lock moves freely and returns to the down position when the appliance is cold.
NOTE! Do not heat the device with the antiliming agent!
