Safety Information
DISPOSAL
At the end of the EZY Spray’s working life, or when it can no longer be repaired, ensure that
it is disposed of according to national regulations. Contact your local authority for details of
collection schemes in your area.
• Do not incinerate.
• Do not abandon in the environment. When using chemical products, consult the
corresponding documentation for the correct method of disposal of any excess materials. If
in any doubt, seek advise from your local authority or a certified disposal contractor.
• Do not dispose of excess chemicals into drainage/sewerage systems or into the natural
environment. If disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the
groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being.

Assembly
Handle Assembly
Remove the two black plastic fixing caps from their bag and slide one onto each side of the
handle. Insert the two shafts of the handle into the handle mounting sections moulded into the
spray bottle. Screw down the two black plastic fixing caps to secure the handle.
Lance Assembly
If not already in place, make sure the rubber
gasket and compression fittings and are
arranged onto the lance in the correct order.
Slide the end of the lance into the trigger
assembly. Screw the compression fitting to
secure the trigger and lance.
Locking
Collar
Extendable Lance
The length of the lance can be adjusted by
loosening the locking collar and extending
or shortening the lower section of the lance.
Once the desired length is set re-tighten the
locking collar.
6Operation
Safety Pressure Valve
The safety pressure valve will open when the pressure exceeds 2.5 bar. It can also be opened
manually to vent remaining pressure prior to opening. To open the valve manually, pull up on
the valve to release pressure.
Filling the Spray Bottle
Warning: Ensure remaining pressure is released before attempting to open the Ezy Spray.
Unscrew the pump handle anti-clockwise to loosen and remove from the pump handle/
assembly from the fill inlet. Fill the spray bottle with your chosen liquid to the desired level
(marked on the side of the main unit - max. 12L). Note: Whilst the fill inlet incorporates a
flanged rim to help avoid spillages, the additional use of a large funnel may be adviseable,
especially when using potentially hazardous liquids. Replace the pump handle/assembly and
screw anti-clockwise to close.

Operation & Troubleshooting
Spray Operation
The sprayer is operated by depressing the trigger. For continuous spraying pull the red plastic
locking catch backwards and locate onto the plastic lug, locking the trigger in the open position.
Flow Rate
The flow rate of the spray from the lance will reduce as the pressure in the sprayer reduces. The
pressure can be topped to a desired level using the orange pump handle.
Maintenance
After use, rinse the container then operate the pump with clean water to completely empty
the container and piston. At least once a year clean pump thoroughly, re-grease or lubricate
all moving parts. Warning: When assembling and servicing, carefully insert the pump piston
without forcing, so as not to damage the gasket.

The following table gives checks and actions that you can perform if your machine does not
operate correctly. If these do not identify/remedy the problem, contact your service agent.
