Safety
Instructions
Safety Instructions
Caution: contents under pressure. Read this
before operating.
• Release pressure from the bottle before
refilling or replacing parts. This is done by
slowly pulling up the safety valve and holding
until all air has been released. Then unscrew
the container cap. Note: some remaining air
may be expelled.
• Inspect the condition of all fittings before
each use. Do not attempt to use your sprayer
with worn or damaged parts. These parts
should be replaced. Refer to spare parts list.
• Safety valve operation: over pumping will
cause the safety valve to open and release
excess pressure. It will close when safe
operating pressure is reached.
• Safety valve test: fill the bottle to the
maximum filling level with clean water.
Pressurise by pumping a few times. Once it
has reached full pressure the valve should lift,
allowing the red indicator to become visible
and air to escape. If this does not happen,
replace the safety valve.
• Your sprayer is made from many dierent
types of plastic materials, and although
the liquid you may wish to use is packed
in a plastic container, it is not guaranteed
that it will not damage your sprayer. Your
sprayer is designed for use with a broad
range of domestic water based herbicides,
fungicides, insecticides and fertilisers. Do not
use other types of chemicals as they may
be detrimental to the safe operation of your
sprayer.
• Follow chemical suppliers on-pack
instructions.

6Operation
Operating Instructions
Important: Rinse the inside of the bottle with
cold water before use. Before using with any
chemicals it is advisable to familiarise yourself
with the sprayer by trialing it first with water
only. Thick mixtures can clog the spray nozzle.
Mixtures of this kind should be strainedto
prevent blockages. Wash the bottle,attachments
and your hands thoroughly after use.
Before Use
• Remove the internal pump assembly by
unscrewing the container cap. Fill liquid
to the required level. Do not exceed the
“MAXIMUM FILLING” level.
• Insert internal pump assembly and tighten
container cap firmly by hand.
• Make sure the safety valve and hose retainer
cap are tight to prevent air escaping.
• Firmly screw the lance assembly to the
trigger handle.
Operation
• Pump the sprayer until the safety valve starts
to open and vent. Your sprayer is designed to
operate at 40 P.S.I. (275 kpa). You will notice
that when the sprayer is at full pressure
the safety valve will lift and a red indicator
becomes visible.
• Pump periodically to maintain constant
spraying pressure.
• Lock pump handle into container cap. This
allows you to carry the sprayer. You can also
use the strap supplied.
• Start spraying by pressing the on/o trigger.
The trigger is equipped with a lock for
continuous spraying. To lock, press the trigger
and slide the trigger lock forward. To unlock,
slide the trigger lock back and release the on/
o trigger.
• Choose the type of nozzle according to
your spraying application. Turn the nozzle to
obtain the desired spray pattern.

Operation
After Use
• When you have finished, release pressure
from the bottle by slowly pulling up the
safety valve and holding until all air has
been released. Do not release pressure by
unscrewing the container cap.
• After you have ensured the sprayer contains
no pressure, unscrew the container cap and
carefully dispose of any liquid left inside the
bottle. To clean your sprayer, rinse the bottle,
then fill the bottle with clean water to the 2L
level, pressurise your sprayer and allow it to
empty.
Storage
• Make sure that the sprayer is not pressurised
and contains no liquid. Do not store in direct
sunlight and store out of reach of children.
Refer to detailed safety instructions on page
3 and 4.

8Operation
Maintenance Advice
Over a period of time some chemicals can leave
a build up of residue which normal cleaning will
not remove. This build up can collect around
the seals in your sprayer, which may eventually
stop the sprayer from working. To overcome
this problem we recommend that the bottle be
half filled with hot (not boiling) water. Pressurise
and spray for a few minutes. The hot water
should dissolve any built up residue allowing
your sprayer to operate normally.
Important: For safety, do not leave the sprayer
unattended during this operation.
Important: If for some reason your sprayer
needs to be returned for warranty purposes,
PLEASE wash it out thoroughly to protect our
service technicians from exposure to unknown
substances.
