SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term“power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-op-
erated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) pow-
er tool.
3.1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
3.2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Wa-
ter entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protect-
ed supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3.3. Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while oper-
ating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

5. Important Safety Instructions for
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety instructions for battery chargers. Before using charger,
read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, bat-
tery pack, and product using battery pack.
3.4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and o. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may aect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations dierent from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
3.5. Battery tool use and care
3.6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the o-position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key (wrench, screwdriver…) before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpect-
ed situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
a. Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufac-
turer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and re.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a re.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irri-
tation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
or modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk
of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to re or exces-
sive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature above
60°C may cause explosion.

10.1. Influence of climatic conditions
During application, some factors may determine the interrup-
tion of the spraying.Wind currents, for example, can aect drop-
lets to a greater or lesser distance in terms of its size or weight.
The temperature and especially the relative humidity contribute
to the rapid evaporation of the droplets.
The ideal conditions for spraying are:
• Relative humidity: minimum 50%;
• Wind speed: 1.9 - 6.2 mph (3-10 km/h);
• Temperature below 86º F (30º C) .
These limits should be considered according to technology
application that will be used, adopting the safest class droplets
within the boundaries of each situation.

Always keep the trigger valve shut during
transport and when not using the sprayer.
vironment. In the case of metal, plastic and glass chemical con-
tainers, each container must be rinsed three times to ensure the
residues are completely removed. This manual describes how to
make the triple rinse in a correct, safe and eective way.
1. Immediately after emptying the container, you must keep
it with the opening upside down over the sprayer tank
opening or over the bucket that you are using to prepare
the chemical mixture for at least 30 seconds, until no res-
idue is left in the container, when the drops are falling in
long intervals.
2. Hold the container in the upright position and ll it with
water up to 1/4. For example: in a 1000 ml container, put
250 ml of water.
3. Install the container cap and tighten it enough to avoid
leakage during the agitation.
4. Agitate the container strongly in all ways (horizontal and
vertical), for approximately 30 seconds to remove the resi-
dues that are on the container internal walls.
5. Take the container cap o and carefully pour the rinse wa-
ter into the spray tank.
6. Keep holding the container over the spray tank opening
for approximately 30 seconds to the last drop.
7. Repeat this operation twice more. This way, you complete
the triple rinse.
8. Make the plastic and metallic containers useless by pierc-
ing the container bottom with a pointed instrument. This
way, their labels are not damaged for identication pur-
poses.
7.1. Triple rinse of empty agrochemicals
containers
NOTE: Even the containers considered empty contain chemical
residues. Therefore, discarding the containers without washing
out the residues is extremely dangerous to man, animals and en-

8.8. Electronic interface, audible and visual
warnings
The following picture shows the electronic interface with but-
tons (green and red), pressure level indicator lights (ve levels),
battery level indicator lights (three levels) and warning indicator
light.
The sprayer has 5 pressure levels, where the leftmost light indi-
cates the lowest pressure and rightmost light indicate the high-
est pressure. The resulting pressure at the end of the nozzle will
depend on the selected nozzle.
Warning Indicator

The battery level indicator has three levels:
• Three lights on = battery charge higher than 80%.
• Two lights on = battery charge between 80% and 50%.
• One light on = battery charge between 50% and 15%.
• All lights o = battery discharged.
The autonomy of the battery pack (number of hours of spray-
ing with a single battery charge) depends on the pressure lev-
el and selected nozzle (the higher the pressure, the lower the
autonomy). Use this indicator to estimate the battery autonomy
for your spraying condition by checking the remaining battery
charge regularly.
Pressure Level Indicator Battery Level Indicator
While operating the sprayer, the possible audible/visible warn-
ings can occur, in case a faulty condition is detected:
• Three short beeps repeated every ve seconds and warning
light is on = Pump, motor or wiring critical failure. Contact
technical assistance.
• Five short beeps repeated every thirty seconds and all battery
level indicator lights are o = Low battery (only a few minutes
left to spray), recharge as soon as possible.
• Three lights of the battery level indicator are blinking and
warning light is on = Battery overvoltage (user attempted to
connect a battery dierent from the original one). If battery
voltage is too high, electronic interface will completely shut-
o to avoid permanent damage.
8.9. Turn On/Off the sprayer and select
pressure level
To turn on the sprayer and select pressure level:
NOTE: Before starting to spray, retighten the hose clamps to
avoid contamination of the operator and of the environment.
1. Install a charged battery pack.
2. Press Green Button once. Electronic interface will turn on
showing all lights on. Then, the electronic interface will
show battery charge status and pump will turn on in the
minimum pressure level.
3. Direct the spray lance to a safe position and open the trig-
ger valve to begin spraying.
4. Press Green Button to choose dierent pressure levels.
When the maximum pressure level is reached, the pres-
sure setting will return to the minimum setting if the
Green Button is pressed again.
8.10. Activate/Deactivate pressure lock
The Pressure Lock is a feature that allows the farm manager to
lock the sprayer in a chosen pressure level. This avoids misuse
of the equipment and all users will spray with the same pressure
level thus guaranteeing better spray uniformity. Once locked,
the pressure level is not changeable when Green Button is
pressed, nor when the sprayer is turned o, nor when the bat-
tery is removed.
To activate the Pressure Lock:
1. Select the desired pressure level (1 to 5).
2. Press Green Button and hold it pressed for 10 seconds.
When Pressure Lock is activated, pressure level indicator
will blink.
NOTE:The sprayer can still be turned o by holding the Red But-
ton.
To deactivate the Pressure Lock:
1. Press the Green Button three times and then press the Red
Button once. This must be done in less than 3 seconds.
When the Pressure Lock is deactivated, pressure level in-
dicator will stop blinking.
8.11. Set up walking pace timer
To turn o the sprayer:
1. Shut o the trigger valve. The internal pump pressure
switch will automatically turn o the pump (the sprayer is
said to be in idle state). However, the electronic interface
will remain on.
2. Press the Red Button and hold it pressed for 3 seconds. All
lights in the electronic interface will be o.
3. Direct the spray lance to a safe position and open the trig-
ger valve to release pressure before storing the sprayer.
4. Remove and store the battery pack in safe place.
NOTE: If the sprayer is left in idle state for more than 10 minutes,
the electronic interface will turn o automatically.

8.12. Total labor time indicator
The Total LaborTime Indicator shows how many hours the spray-
er has been working since the rst use. The hours are only in-
cremented in theTotal Labor Time Indicator when the electronic
interface is on.
To view the total labor time:
1. Turn on the electronic interface, by pressing the Green
Button once.
2. Press Green Button and Red Button together and hold
them pressed for 10 seconds.
3. The lights (the same lights used for pressure level indica-
tion) will blink according to the code below:
• No lights blinking = Total labor hour is less than 300 h.
• One light blinking = Total labor hour is more than 300 h and
less than 700 h.
• Two lights blinking = Total labor hour is more than 700 h and
less than 1000 h.
• Three lights blinking = Total labor hour is more than 1000 h
and less than 1300 h.
• Four lights blinking = Total labor hour is more than 1300 h
and less than 1600 h.
• Five lights blinking = Total labor hour is more than 1600 h.
NOTE: Press any button to return to normal operation mode. If
none of the buttons are pressed, the electronic interface will au-
tomatically exit the Total Labor Time Indicator after 15 seconds.
8.13. Activate/Deactivate agitation system
The Agitation System ensures that there is no signicant varia-
tion between initial concentration of agrochemical (when tank is
full) and nal concentration (when tank is almost empty). This is
especially important if wettable powder agrochemicals are used.
When the agitation is activated, part of the pump’s ow will be
directed to the tank, forcing the mixture to circulate.
Basic recommendations:
• Turn on the Agitation System by moving the agitation lever
to the horizontal position, as shown in A. It is recommended
that agitation is kept on while transporting the sprayer from
the lling area to the area being sprayed. This will maintain
uniform chemical concentration until the beginning of the
application.
• Turn o the Agitation System to begin spraying by returning
the lever to the vertical position, as shown in B. This ensures
higher pressure at the end of the nozzle.
• Periodically turn on the Agitation System when spraying wet-
table powder or chemical products that easily settle out of
solution.
NOTE: Pressure in the spraying nozzle will be weaker while the
Agitation System is activated.
WARNING!
The sprayer may not work properly if this
procedure is not performed.

The Walking Pace function is a useful timer that can assist user
to calibrate the sprayer or keep a uniform walking speed while
spraying. When the Walking Pace function is activated, user will
notice an audible beep, indicating the correct moment to step
forward (as an example). The audible beeps can be used for oth-
er purposes, such as spot chemical application. In this case, the
beep can indicate the correct moment to proceed to another
plant.
To set up the Walking Pace timer:
1. Press Red Button once. An audible beep will be heard and
it corresponds to a speed of 0.62 MPH (1 km/h).
2. Press Red Button again to adjust the Walking Pace to 1.24
MPH (2 km/h).
3. Press Red Button again to adjust the Walking Pace to 1.86
MPH (3 km/h).
4. Press Red Button again to adjust the Walking Pace to 2.49
MPH (4 km/h).
5. Press Red Button again to turn-o the Walking Pace func-
tion.
