WARNING!
WARNING!!!! THIS PRODUCT IS DESIGNED TO APPLY
CHEMICALS THAT MAY BE HARMFUL AND COULD CAUSE
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY IF INHALED OR BROUGHT INTO
CONTACT WITH THE USER. FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW
THE CHEMICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND/OR
MISUSE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN MAJOR
INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT TO BE
USED WITH FLAMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE LIQUIDS. USE SAFETY
GLASSES, GLOVES AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN
STATED BY CHEMICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
POINTS FOR ATTENTION
1. The battery has been charged before being delivered. However, it will self-
discharge in the course of transportation and storage. Additional charging before
initial use is required.
2. Try your best to avoid operating the sprayer without water in it. This may
damage the diaphragm. Never place the sprayer upside down. Otherwise, the
battery may be damaged.
3. In case a noise is heard from inside the sprayer, or poor atomization occurs after
long periods of use, the sprayer may have a low battery voltage and requires
charging. Connect the plug to an electrical outlet without removing the battery
from the sprayer. A charging time of at least 8 hours is required. The charger
should be placed in a dry, well-ventilated safe place.
4. Trial spraying with clean water is necessary for initial use-to make sure neither
leakage or poor atomization occurs.
5. There are a few points the user should remember while spraying. Wear a mask
and gloves to protect skin and to avoid direct contact of harmful liquids. Never
spray against the wind or spray towards humans, animals or food. Never operate
for extended periods of time under high temperatures. Strict compliance with safety
instructions of chemicals is required. Never operate with flammable liquids.
6. For short-term use, charging is not usually required. For long-term storage,
regular full discharging and recharging are required, with an interval of 2 weeks, a
month, or two months, to ensure the service life of the battery.

7. Don’t operate sprayer in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees or lower than 35
degrees.
8. After use for half a year, you should dismantle the base and check whether the
screws are loose. If they are loose, please tighten them. Also, be sure to switch off
power before storage.
9. It is strictly prohibited to keep this sprayer near fire or expose base to water or
immerse the sprayer in the water to clean or to fill it with water. Unauthorized
removal of the charger’s housing is prohibited.
FEATURES
1. Smooth and streamline appearance. The sprayer is ergonomically designed to
conform to the human back making it easy to carry.
2. The sprayer comes with a mini-diaphragm pump which is compact in size, light-
weight, creates good pressure and has an extended service life. It features a
pressure protection switch to prevent over-pressurization.
3. Triple screens prevent foreign matter or particles from clogging the nozzle. The
screen is uniquely designed to allow easy dismantling and cleaning.
4. This sprayer has an under-voltage alert circuit. An alarm will sound when the
voltage of the battery decreases to 10.5 volts. This will protect the battery. The
supplied charging socket can be used as a 12 volt power supply in addition to a
charging unit.
5. Special charger features intelligent three section charging (constant
current/constant voltage/maintenance) and short-circuit/over current/
inverse-connection protection. The indicator lamps of charger: RED-
charging; Green-charged/stand-by.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
****************
The product you have just purchased is a
recharge eable sprayer. Its
performance and the life of the battery
will be greatly reduced if it is not fully
charged before its initial use.
Before the sprayer is used for the first
time it will need an initial charge of 10 to
12 hours. The charger supplied with your
sprayer is equipped with a ready light
that will be red when initially plugged in.
The battery should be charged until this
light turns green.
It is typical for the battery to last from 8
to 10 hours of actual spraying before
having to be recharged. With a full
charge the battery will last for about 20
tanks of 15-Liters or 4-gallons of liquid.
With proper care the battery will last for
100 to 120 charges. Every three months
you should fully charge once. Otherwise
it will reduce the battery charging
capacity.
Connecting the battery charger
Remove the cap. Align and insert the
connector. Screw the connector finger tight.
Plug the charger into an AC outlet. The red
light on the charger should illuminate
indicating the charging process has started.
When the light turns green the battery is
charged and ready for use.
