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.
• 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 completely
with clean warm water and pressurise
by pumping. When the sprayer is fully
pressurised the valve should lift, allowing
the red indicator to become visible and air
to escape. If this does not happen, replace
the safety valve. Fully dry the sprayer after
this test.
• 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 liquids, however you must check their
compatibility before use.
• Follow all chemical suppliers on-pack
instructions.

6Operation
Operating Instructions
Important: Rinse the inside of the bottle with
warm water and thoroughly dry before use.
Before using with any chemicals familiarise
yourself with the sprayer by trialing it first
with water only, then thoroughly dry the
sprayer. Thick mixtures can clog the spray
nozzle. Mixtures of this kind should be strained
to prevent blockages. Clean 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 assembly supplied. Attach this
by threading the key rings through the strap
holes located either side of the top of the
bottle.
• 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.
Safely and carefully dispose of any liquid left
inside the bottle. To clean your sprayer, rinse
the bottle with appropriate solution, then fill
the bottle with clean warm water to the 2L
level, pressurise your sprayer and allow it to
empty. Thoroughly dry before storage.
• Check that the nozzle is free from sediment.
If necessary, repeat the process until the
sprayer is clean.
• If sprayer has been used with chemicals,
safely discard any unused solution in
accordance with the chemical supplier’s
instructions.
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 and animals. Refer to detailed safety
instructions on page 3.

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. Thoroughly
dry after cleaning.
Apply a small coating of silicone grease regularly
to seals and moving parts.
Important: For safety, do not leave the sprayer
unattended during this operation.
