P.COOKING LIQUID, FILLING THE LIQUID TANK
When using chemical agents, always follow all safety rules given in this manual (especially safety
rules for contact with chemical plant protection products) and recommendations contained in the
instructions given by the manufacturer of the chemical agent.
Filling the liquid reservoir
Before filling the liquid tank, always make sure that the drain valve is in the closed position (lever at right angles to the drain hose). There is a liquid
level scale on the side of the tank to assist in filling and preparing spray liquid. The maximum capacity of the sprayer spray liquid tank is 16 or 20
liters (depending on the model). Never fill above the upper mark on the scale. Before filling the spray liquid tank, make sure that there is a sieve in
the filler opening. Its presence is necessary when filling the liquid reservoir. The sieve has filter holes with a diameter of 0.55 mm. If the sieve is
damaged, be sure to replace it with a new, original sieve, purchased from an authorized service center. Before filling the liquid tank, be sure to turn
off the sprayer pump, remove the sprayer from your back, place it on a firm surface and check that the liquid valve on the control handle is closed.
Do not overfill the liquid tank. The ground under the sprayer should be protected against liquid penetration into the ground or the sewage system
by placing a moisture-impermeable foil under the device. Remove any liquid spills immediately. After filling the liquid tank with the correct amount
of spray liquid, tighten the cap of the inlet hole to prevent any chemical leakage. The ground under the sprayer should be protected against the
ingress of liquid into the ground or the sewage system by placing a moisture-impermeable foil under the device. Remove any spills immediately.
After filling the liquid tank with the correct amount of spray liquid, tighten the cap of the inlet hole to prevent any chemical leakage. The ground
under the sprayer should be protected against liquid penetration into the ground or the sewage system by placing a moisture-impermeable foil
under the device. Remove any liquid spills immediately. After filling the liquid tank with the correct amount of spray liquid, tighten the cap nut
tightly to prevent chemical leakage.
Never prepare or store spray liquid in the sprayer tank.
Recommended volumes of the working liquid
When preparing the amount of the spray liquid, follow the recommendations of the chemical
manufacturer. Prepare a quantity of spray liquid according to the actual requirements.
General rules for selecting the amount of chemical plant protection products:
Plants near the ground - 0.3-0.5 l per 10 m2
Low bushes and shrubs - 1.0 - 1.5 l per 10 m2
Climbing plants, dense shrubs - 0.5 - 1.0 l each.
Large shrubs - 2.0 l each
Preparation of the working fluid
Chemical plant protection products only prepare in the open. They must not be prepared in closed
rooms, in places where food or feed is stored.
Plant protection products in the form of granules:
Prepare the working liquid in a separate container. Never use the sprayer tank for this. Mix well and
then pour it into the sprayer tank. It is essential to use an intraperitoneal strainer. You can use the
spray lance to move the liquid in the sprayer tank.
15

Liquid plant protection products:
Fill the sprayer liquid tank with 1/4 of the prescribed amount of water. In a
separate container, mix the chemical with water according to the
manufacturer's instructions. When pouring liquid into the tank, be sure to use
the strainer in the filling opening. Add the rest of the water according to the
chemical manufacturer's instructions. Using the sprayer lance, mix the liquid
in the sprayer tank.
Biological plant protection products:
After mixing, it is recommended to filter through a sieve before pouring the
sprayer liquid into the tank. This will prevent the strainer in the filler
opening from becoming clogged up quickly.
Identification of the chemicals used
To identify the containers with the chemicals used, you can use the
stickers attached to the sprayer, specifying the types of chemicals:
Herbizide - herbicides
Insektizide - insecticides
Fungizide - fungicides
IMPORTANT Never fill the fluid reservoir with any other type of chemical without first thoroughly
emptying any residual fluid and washing the fluid reservoir, pump, hoses, and lance. After washing
the tank, fill with water and run for a short time to thoroughly remove any residual fluid from the
pump, hoses, lance and nozzles. This will prevent the risk of hazardous chemical reactions between
substances.
P.BACKPACK BATTERY SPRAYER
Purpose of the sprayer
The battery pack sprayer is designed to spray approved pesticides, herbicides, insecticides,
fungicides and liquid fertilizers, available from authorized retailers. We recommend that you use
only agents approved for use by local regulations. Backpack pressure sprayers are widely used in
agriculture, horticulture, forestry, viticulture, forest nurseries, greenhouses (only with proper
ventilation).
Outlet nozzle, fluid flow
The flat fan nozzle (a) is standard equipment on the sprayer. The spacing and shape of the nozzles were
selected to obtain the largest possible spray area For this nozzle, within a certain range
pressure, the following flow rate is obtained:
Pump switch position Working fluid flow [l / min]
Setting up I
Setting up II
0.44
0.56

A filter ball valve (b) is located at the end of the lance to minimize liquid dripping through the
nozzle with the control valve closed. The mesh size of the filter mesh is 0.35mm. If it is necessary to
replace the filter, only use an original filter with the same mesh size.
WORKING WITH A SPRAYER
When working with the sprayer, follow the safety rules given in this operator's manual and the
guidelines below. The sprayer must not be used in windy weather and in rain. This will prevent the
used agents from spreading to other areas and from being washed away into the ground. Before
spraying, refer to the current weather forecast for the area. In general, we recommend spraying
early in the morning or afternoon as windless weather most often occurs. Never spray near open
windows, doors, cars, children, pets, or anything that may be damaged by chemicals. Be especially
careful when spraying. Make sure that you spray only in the area designated for that purpose.
•
•
Place the sprayer ready for work on your back, properly adjust the harness and waist
belt.
Holding the control handle with the valve by hand, set
the valve to the closed position (do not press the valve
lever).
•Select the pump switch (I or
II). The selected spray pressure will be achieved with the valve closed and the pump will
stop. The pump will automatically turn on when the pressure drops while spraying. This
method of operation of the pump ensures maximum use of the battery capacity.
•
•
Press the valve lever (a) and start spraying.
To set continuous spraying, after pressing the valve lever (a) lock it in this position by moving
the red lock (b) as indicated by the arrow, then release the valve lever. To change the setting,
press the valve lever again and move the red lock towards the lance.

•The red lock (b) can also be used as protection
against accidental opening of the valve. To do this,
slightly pull the valve lever away from the handle
(a) and shift the lock (b) in accordance with the
arrow in the adjacent figure. To release this
protection, follow the steps in reverse order.
If the spray pressure drops noticeably, a
the pump, for a given switch setting, will not provide the correct operating
pressure, stop spraying and charge the accumulator.
To start the sprayer pump, switch rocker switch (1) to position I or II.
There are 2 working modes:
a) Operating mode with full pump capacity (I).
b) Operation mode with pump capacity control by means of
potentiometer (II).
The potentiometer (3) is used for smooth adjustment of the pump power. By
increasing the pump power, the spraying range is increased.

To verify the battery charge status, check charge status indicator
the battery. The indicator has 3 information LEDs. The maximum number of lit LEDs means that the
sprayer is fully charged. The minimum quantity means that the battery is about to discharge. If the
LEDs are off, the battery is completely discharged.
WITHEND OF THE SPRAYING, CONSUMPTION OF THE WORKING LIQUID IN THE TANK
After using the spray liquid from the tank, as soon as the pump starts to pump air (this is characterized by a
different noise of the pump operation and a fine mist coming from the nozzle), it is absolutely necessary to stop
spraying by setting the pump switch to position O. The remaining amount of liquid in the tank is smaller than
50ml. At this point, the tank should be refilled with a new portion of the liquid or, if the operator stops spraying,
about 1 letters of clean water should be added and the diluted liquid should be spread over the already sprayed
surface. After turning off the pump (switch set to position O), with the valve open - pressed the valve lever,
direct the lances with the nozzle downwards, over
18

the surface to be sprayed to remove any residual liquid from the high pressure line, valve, lance and nozzle.
Never start the pump when the spray liquid tank is empty. When running dry, the pump will be
permanently damaged very quickly. Damage caused by working without working fluid is not covered
by the warranty terms.
After finishing work, observing the instructions in the point (Emptying and cleaning the spray
liquid tank), empty and clean the spray liquid tank to prepare the device for storage. Wash hands
and face thoroughly with soap and change work clothes.
SPRAYER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ABOUTGENERAL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PRESSURE SPRAYER
After the first 5 hours of operation, check that all externally accessible bolts and nuts (without
removing covers and housings) are properly tightened, and if necessary, tighten them properly.
Before starting work, always make sure that the device is complete, in working order and in a
condition that guarantees safe use. Regular maintenance should be performed. If there is a need for
specialized repairs, please contact an authorized service center. The user bears the consequences
for damage and destruction caused by independent repairs requiring the work of specialists or
failure to perform the required maintenance, as well as for damage to the equipment resulting from
improper storage of the device.
S.CHECKING THE WORKING LIQUID EXPENSE
Before the next spraying season (on average once a year), we recommend that you check the actual
spray rate to make sure it complies with the data given in the table under "Outlet nozzle, liquid flow
rate".
To do this, fill the spray liquid tank with water to the maximum level, and then spray for a specified
time, eg one minute, at one of the pump switch settings. After a certain time, switch the device off
and measure the amount of water used again to the maximum level by refilling the liquid container.
The measured amount of water (after possible conversion, if the time was different than one minute)
will be the output in liters per minute at the set pump switch setting. The measured value should not
differ by more than 10% from the value given in the table. If the measured flow is too low, the
discharge nozzle may be clogged. Clean the nozzle and re-measure. If the measured flow is too high,
the cause may be a damaged or worn discharge nozzle.
ABOUTVACUUMING AND CLEANING THE WORKING LIQUID TANK
In order to empty the spray liquid tank, tilt the sprayer upside down and pour the remaining
liquid into a separate tank. Then, the tank should be cleaned with a specially designed cleaning
liquid after anti-pesticides, eg PESTICLEAN or similar. Then dry the sprayer before closing the
lid. You can use a dry cotton cloth for complete drying.

P.STORING YOUR DEVICE
After use, empty and clean the sprayer. The sprayer should be stored in a dry, well- ventilated, frost-
free room, with a temperature not exceeding 35 °. Secure the device against activation by
unauthorized persons, especially children. Store the device in a safe place and away from any naked
flames or other potential fire hazard. If the sprayer will not be used for a longer period of time, it is
recommended to charge the battery once a month using the included charger. This will prevent the
battery from deeply discharging. This also applies to an additional, second battery, if purchased.
