Please read these instructions carefully
before using your Sanique sprayer.
GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and / or serious personal injury. The term Sanique
sprayer in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) sprayer.
WORK AREA
+ Keep your work area clean and well lit.
+ Do not operate your Sanique sprayer in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquid, gases, or dust.
+ Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating your Sanique
sprayer. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
+ Sprayer plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
+ Do not expose your Sanique sprayer to rain or wet conditions.
+ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the sprayer. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Replace a damaged cord immediately.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
+ When operating a Sanique sprayer outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
+ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
your Sanique sprayer. Do not use while you are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention could result in
personal injury.
+ Always wear the appropriate PPE as required by the facility being sanitised.
+ Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
+ Do not overreach. Keep a proper footing and balance at all times.
6

SERVICE
+ Have your Sanique sprayer serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the sprayer is maintained.
If the supply cord of your Sanique sprayer is damaged it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the service organization.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE
Never leave pressurized system unattended. Take precautions to avoid high
pressure component rupture.
WARNING: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Take all precautions to avoid sources of sparks and ignition when spraying.
WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AT ALL TIMES
Always use a respirator, eye protection and protective clothing. Keep clear of
moving parts when starting or operating the sprayer. Do not put your ngers
into any openings to avoid amputation by moving parts or burns on hot parts.
When starting the motor, maintain a safe distance from moving parts of the
equipment.
EXPLOSION RISK FROM HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS
Never use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in this machine.
Contact with aluminum parts may cause an explosion.
Some of the most common of these solvents are:
Carbon tetrachloride
Chlorobenzene
Dichloroethane
Dichloroethyl Ether
Ethyl bromide
Ethyl chloride
Tetrachloroethane

MEDICAL ALERT INJECTION INJURIES
If any solution appears to penetrate your skin, GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL
CARE AT ONCE. DO NOT TREAT AS AN ORDINARY CUT. High pressure uids
from spray or leaks are powerful enough to easily penetrate the skin and cause
extremely serious injection injury, leading to the possible need for amputation.
+ NEVER point the spray gun at anyone or any part of the body.
+ NEVER put your hand or ngers over the spray tip. Do not use a rag or
any other materials over your ngers. Solution could penetrate through these
materials and into the hand.
+ NEVER try to stop or deect leaks with your hand or body.
+ ALWAYS have the tip guard in place when spraying.
+ ALWAYS lock the gun trigger when you stop spraying.
+ ALWAYS remove tip from the gun to clean it.
+ NEVER try to "blow back" solution, this is not an air powered sprayer.
+ ALWAYS follow the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE before cleaning or
removing the spray tip or servicing any system equipment.
+ Be sure the equipment safety devices are operating properly before each use.
+ Tighten all of the uid connections before each use.
+ NEVER alter equipment in any manner.
+ NEVER smoke while in spraying area.
+ NEVER spray highly ammable materials.
+ NEVER use around children.
+ NEVER allow another person to use sprayer unless they are thoroughly
instructed on its safe use and given this operator’s manual to read.
+ ALWAYS wear a spray mask, gloves and protective eye wear while spraying.
+ ALWAYS ensure re extinguishing equipment is readily available and
properly maintained.

NEVER LEAVE SPRAYER UNATTENDED WITH PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM.
FOLLOW PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURES AT ALL TIMES.
ALWAYS INSPECT SPRAYING AREA
+ Keep the spraying area free from obstructions.
+ NEVER keep ammable material in spraying area.
+ NEVER spray in vicinity of open ame or other sources of ignition.
+ The spraying area must be at least 6 metres away from spray unit.
SPRAY GUN SAFETY
+ ALWAYS set gun safety lock in the "LOCKED" position when not in use
and before servicing or cleaning.
+ NEVER remove or modify any part of the gun.
+ ALWAYS REMOVE THE SPRAY TIP when cleaning.
Flush unit at the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRESSURE.
+ ALWAYS check operation of all gun safety devices before each use.
+ Be very careful when removing the spray tip or hose from the gun.
A plugged line will contain uid under pressure. If the tip or line is plugged,
follow the pressure relief procedure.
TIP GUARD
+ ALWAYS have the tip guard in place on the spray gun while spraying.
The tip guard alerts you to the injection hazard and helps prevent
accidentally placing your ngers or any part of your body close to
the spray tip.

10
HOSES
+ Tighten all of the uid connections securely before each use. High pressure
solution can dislodge a loose coupling or allow high pressure spray to be
emitted from the coupling and result in an injection injury.
+ Only use hoses with a spring guard. The spring guard helps protect the hose
from kinks or other damage which could result in hose rupture and cause an
injection injury. Do not allow kinking or crushing of hoses or allow it to vibrate
against rough, sharp or hot surfaces.
+ Use only conductive uid hoses for sanitising applications. Be sure the gun is
grounded through the hose connections. Only hoses as approved by Sanique
should be used with this sprayer.
+ NEVER use a damaged hose, which can result in hose failure or rupture and
cause an injection injury or other serious bodily injury or property damage.
Before each use, check entire hose for cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulging of the
cover, or damage or movement of couplings. If any of these conditions exist,
replace the hose immediately.
+ NEVER use tape or any device to try to mend the hose as it cannot contain
the high pressure uid. NEVER ATTEMPT TO RECOUPLE THE HOSE.
It is not possible to recouple a high pressure hose.
ASSEMBLY
1Attach the hose to the pump and tighten with a wrench.
2Attach the hose to the gun and tighten with a wrench.
OPERATION
1New sprayer / before you start. Your sprayer was factory tested in an oil
solution which was left in the pump. Before spraying, ush through with
warm water and detergent.
PACKINGS
The packings are a wearing part. If your Sanique sprayer can no longer maintain
pressure, has difculty priming and tightening the packing nut no longer helps,
then the packings will require replacement. This is best entrusted to a qualied
Sanique repair technician.
