FILLING THE TANK AND ADDING CHEMICAL:
Warning: Before using the sprayer for the first time or adding chemical check the
operation and function of the sprayer with clean water.
Check that the filter is clean, and all fittings, hoses and gun connections are tight.
Partly fill the sprayer before adding chemical. Always use clean water to prevent blockages
and ensure chemical function is not inhibited.
Add the chemical according to the directions on the chemical container following all safety
and protective equipment recommendations.
Do not use wet powders or chemicals that must remain suspended in solution and require
agitation. Only use chemicals or dyes that fully dissolve.
Do not use a sprayer that has been used to spray herbicides for insecticides or nutrients
unless the sprayer has been thoroughly cleaned including neutralising the herbicide
according to the manufactured directions if required.
OPERATING THE PUMP:
The tank is pressurised by manually pumping the handle up and down. A pressure safety
valve prevents over pressurisation. After use always release the air pressure inside the tank
using the pressure safety valve, particularly in hot weather.
