Setup

1. Charge the Battery: Before first use, fully charge the 12V-8Ah lead-acid battery. Connect the charger to the sprayer's charging port and then to a power outlet. The charging indicator will show when charging is complete.
2. Assemble the Lance: Attach the desired lance section to the sprayer handle. Ensure it is securely tightened to prevent leaks.
3. Select Nozzle: Choose the appropriate nozzle from the provided set based on your spraying needs (e.g., fine mist for delicate plants, direct stream for weeds). Attach it to the end of the lance.
4. Fill the Tank: Unscrew the tank cap. Use the provided funnel to pour your chosen liquid (fertilizer, herbicide, water) into the 18-liter tank. Do not overfill. Ensure the integrated dirt filter is in place to prevent impurities from entering the pump system.
5. Secure the Tank Cap: Screw the tank cap back on tightly to prevent spills.
