Operating Instructions

Operation
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 lled 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.

strip spray nozzle attachment to aid in
controlled spraying.
