Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts listed in the "Key Components" section are present.
2. Battery Charging: Before first use, fully charge the battery. Connect the charger to the charging port on the sprayer and plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The charging indicator light will show the charging status. A full charge takes approximately 5-6 hours.
3. Lance Assembly: Attach the spray lance to the main unit. Ensure all connections are secure and tight to prevent leaks.
4. Nozzle Selection: Choose the appropriate nozzle for your application and attach it to the end of the spray lance.
5. Shoulder Straps Adjustment: Adjust the ergonomic shoulder straps for a comfortable and secure fit on your back. The sprayer is reversible for both right and left-hand use.

Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Tank: Ensure the sprayer is on a stable, level surface. Unscrew the tank lid and carefully pour the desired liquid into the 16-liter tank. Do not overfill. Securely close the lid.
2. Powering On: Locate the power switch (usually near the base of the unit) and turn the sprayer ON. The pump will begin to pressurize the tank.
3. Spraying: Hold the spray lance firmly. Press the trigger on the lance handle to begin spraying. Release the trigger to stop.
4. Adjusting Pressure: The sprayer operates at a maximum pressure of 0.5-0.5 MPa. Some models may have a pressure adjustment knob; refer to specific markings on your unit if available.
5. Battery Life: A fully charged battery can spray approximately 400-480 kg of liquid. Monitor the battery indicator (if present) to avoid running out of power during operation.
6. After Use: After spraying, turn off the power switch. Release any remaining pressure by briefly pressing the trigger.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly rinse the tank, lance, and nozzles with clean water. Spray clean water through the system to flush out any chemical residues. This prevents clogging and extends the life of the sprayer.
• Battery Care: Recharge the battery after each use, even if not fully depleted, to maintain battery health. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery every 2-3 months. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
• Nozzle Maintenance: Regularly check nozzles for blockages. Clean them with a soft brush or needle if necessary.
• Seal Inspection: Periodically inspect all seals and gaskets for wear or damage. Replace them if they show signs of cracking or deterioration to prevent leaks.
• Storage: Store the sprayer in a dry, frost-free environment, away from direct sunlight and corrosive chemicals. Ensure the tank is empty and clean before storage.
