Always wash any contaminated clothing.
Seek medical attention if spray gets in your eyes or you
develop any symptoms after spraying.
Do not spray near food or food preparation areas. When
spraying crops, pay particular attention to the chemical
manufacturers advice on time before crops can be eaten.
Do not spray any solvent e.g. White spirit.
Spray only thin watery solutions; thicker mixtures will clog
the nozzle.
Powdered chemicals can be sprayed successfully if they
are completely soluble in water. If they are not, or the
solution tends to settle, spraying can still be successful if
the mixture is continually agitated.
If the material to be sprayed contains sediment, strain the
liquid into the sprayer bottle.
Do not over pressurize the bottle. The pressure release
valve is designed to release excess pressure, and must not
be tampered with, or forced to remain closed.
Winter use – drain liquid from all parts and loosen pump
assembly.
Annual maintenance – At least once per year thoroughly
clean the whole sprayer and apply silicone grease to all
moving parts & seals. Test with water, and if any washer or
seal has perished it must be replaced.
Notes
A Ensure the hose fully covers the barbed details on both
the lance, and outlet connector. Make sure all nuts are
hand tight before use.
B This sprayer is made from many types of plastic, and
although the liquid you wish to spray may also be packed
in plastic, this does not guarantee it will not damage
the sprayer. If you have any doubt about compatibility,
contact Hozelock consumer services. When filling the
sprayer, or using the dosing cup, always use the large
filling aperture, and ensure that the maximum fill level is
not exceeded.
C Ensure that the pump and dosing cup is screwed into the
bottle tightly before pressurising and locked in position.

E After using the sprayer, manually operate the pressure
release valve as above, to depressurise.
F If the sprayer has been used with chemicals discard any
unused solution in an environmentally friendly manner.
G Fill bottle with warm (not hot) water, reassemble the
sprayer, and spray some of the contents. Repeat, and
check that the nozzle is free from sediment. If necessary,
repeat the process until the sprayer is clean. NB: Do not
use detergent.
H The pump assembly and pressure release valve o rings
should be lubricated to allow the sprayer to pump air
efficiently. Access the seals by unscrewing the plunger
retaining ring. Apply silicone grease regularly to the pump,
piston and release valve o ring seals (A).
I The nozzle cap (B) and swirl grooves (C) should be kept
clean and free of obstructions. The ‘O’ ring seal (D) should
be lubricated with silicone grease to allow the spray
pattern to be easily changed.

K To clean or replace the angled adaptor washer, unscrew
the retaining nut (B), pull off the hose and unscrew the
angled adaptor.
LEnsure that the dosing cup last used indicator is set
correctly after using the sprayer. To change the setting,
remove the dosing cup then align the arrow with the
required symbol by lifting and turning the nut.
M For storage the hose can be coiled inside the base.
N If required the hose maybe clipped into the top trim for
storage.
O When using the weed killer cone, ensure that the angled
head assembly with the red fan spray nozzle is fitted
and the nozzle aligned correctly. The red nozzle is not
adjustable.
P The telescopic lance can be adjusted in length by firstly
loosening the lance nut, and retightening as required.
