5.3 Filling the Tank

Unscrew the tank lid and pour the desired liquid into the 16-liter tank. Ensure the liquid is free of large debris that could clog the filter or nozzle. Do not overfill. Securely fasten the lid after filling.

5.4 Attaching the Lance and Nozzle

Connect the desired lance to the sprayer's hose outlet. Then, screw your chosen nozzle onto the end of the lance. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Starting the Sprayer

Once the tank is filled and the lance/nozzle are attached, put on the backpack sprayer. Turn on the power switch located on the sprayer. The pump will activate, building pressure.

6.2 Spraying

Press the trigger on the lance handle to begin spraying. Release the trigger to stop. Adjust the nozzle to achieve the desired spray pattern (e.g., fine mist, stream).

6.3 Stopping and Depressurizing

When finished, turn off the power switch. To relieve any remaining pressure in the system, point the nozzle in a safe direction and briefly press the trigger until no more liquid is dispensed.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

After each use, especially when using chemicals, rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. Operate the sprayer with clean water for a few minutes to flush the pump, hose, and nozzle. This prevents chemical residue buildup and extends the life of the components.

7.2 Filter Cleaning

Regularly inspect and clean the filter located at the tank's opening. Remove any accumulated debris to ensure proper flow and prevent pump strain.

7.3 Battery Care and Storage

Store the sprayer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For optimal battery life, charge the battery fully before storing for extended periods and recharge every 3-6 months if not in use.
