ENGLISH 3 7.3 Carrying strap Use the sliding clip to adjust the carrying strap to the required length. 7.4 Test run Before its initial use, the sprayer should be tested according to chapter 10.2. 8 Preparing the spray liquid and filling the spray tank Prepare the spray liquid according to the instructions of the chemical manufacturer. Always prepare the spray liquid outdoors, never in living quarters, stables or storage rooms for food and animal feed. Before opening the spraying agent tank, depressurise the device by pulling on the pressure relief valve (Fig. 3). Before pulling on the pressure relief valve (d), the device must always be in an upright position. Attention: Keep the device away from your face! To fill the tank with spraying agent, the pump must be unscrewed. Push the pump handle (c) down and turn it to the left (counterclockwise) until the handle clicks into position. Unscrew the pump by turning it counterclockwise. Do not use any tools! Fill the tank no further than to the upper-most mark on the side of the spray tank. Overfilling the tank or spills can contaminate public waterways, rain- and storm water channel and must be avoided. Wipe off spilled spray liquid without delay. After filling, insert the pump again and refasten firmly by turning the pump handle (c) clockwise to prevent the spraying agent from escaping. Refasten firmly until the pump handle clicks into position. Fig. 4: Attach the respective sticker for the type of spray liquid, such as herbicide, fungicide or insecticide to the spray tank. 9 Use of the pressure sprayer 9.1 Spraying x Do not use the sprayer in wind or rain. x Check the direction of the air movement before starting work and spray with the air movement, not against it. x Do not spray towards persons, animals, open doors and windows, cars or other objects that may be hurt or damaged by the spray. x Ensure that only the actual spray target will be wetted. Always aim to obtain even and homogenous distribution of the spray on the treated surfaces. Pumping and spraying: To pump, loosen the pump handle (c) by turning out of the stop position. Pump the unit until the operating pressure is reached in the spraying agent tank. Excessive pressure escapes automatically through the pressure relief valve (d). Hold the spray wand with the hand valve. Fig. 5: To spray, depress the hand lever on the valve. Release the hand valve lever to stop spraying. To spray the underside of leaves, lightly loosen the spray wand cap nut and turn the wand hand tighten again. An uneven spray picture or reduced spray output from the nozzle may require cleaning of the nozzle filter insert and nozzle (chap.10.6) or the replacement of these parts (chap. 10.4). The pressure sprayer can also be carried by the pump handle (c), if the pump handle is pressed down completely, and it is turned to the right and clicked into position. 9.2 Disposal of residual spray volume Residual spray volumes of less than 200 ml [6.8 oz] are no longer pumped effectively. Either add more spray formula and continue spraying or, when finishing off, dilute the residual volume with 2 litres [68 oz] of clean water and apply to the already treated area. At the end of the work, empty and clean the sprayer according to chap. 10.6, wash face and hands thoroughly and take off the work clothing. Work clothing requires regular washing. ENGLISH 4 10 Maintenance, cleaning and storage 10.1 Maintenance plan Before starting work: x Check the entire sprayer is operationally safe by: o Visual inspection of the sprayer o Checking the tightness of all parts (at maximum admissible pressure with the hand valve opened and closed). o Checking the working of all functional parts (pump, hand valve). o Checking the hoses and their screw connections. After the end of work, when changing the spray formula, whenever required: x Cleaning the spray tank chap. 10.6 x Cleaning the nozzles and filters chap. 10.6 Monthly or at the start of the season, whenever required: x Checking the output volume chap. 10.3 x Greasing the sealing rings chap. 10.5 10.2 Test run When the spraying season starts and then every month, the following items must be checked in a test run with clean water: x Tightness of all sprayer parts at maximum admissible pressure with the hand valve opened and closed x Function of all working parts (hand valve, pump) x Dosage and distribution accuracy x Calibration of output volume according to chap. 10.3 In case of irregularities, damage, leaks or limited function, do not use the sprayer but have it checked in a specialist workshop without delay. 10.3 Calibration of the output volume Fill the sprayer with water to the maximum mark and spray with a working pressure of 2 bar [29 psi] for precisely one minute. Then measure the water volume required when refilling to the maximum mark. The application volume must not deviate from the indicated value (chap. 11) by more than 10%; otherwise, clean the nozzle and the filter insert and repeat the measurement procedure. If the application volume is not correct even after cleaning, replace the nozzle and/or filter insert. Chap. 10.4 10.4 Replace the spray nozzle and/or filter x Flush the nozzle assembly with clean water. x Unscrew the nozzle assembly. x Clean the O-rings, filter insert and spray nozzle with clean water and soft brush. Do not blow out the spray nozzle by mouth! Do not clean nozzles with any hard objects! x Replace the nozzle with a new nozzle and/or new filter insert. x Screw the parts of the nozzle assembly back together (Fig. 2). 10.5 Greasing the sealing rings Greasing the cap gasket Fig. 6: For proper sealing of the spraying agent tank, the cap gasket (l) must be well greased with silicone grease. Greasing the pump piston sealing ring If the pump is hard to operate, the sealing ring of the pump piston (Fig. 10, pos. m, part no.: 10675) should be greased with silicone grease or replaced if necessary. Disassembly of the pump and greasing the sealing ring: Fig. 7: Ensure the sprayer is empty and not pressurised. Place sprayer securely on level ground. If the pump is completely screwed onto the tank, loosen the pump with 12 turns. Fig. 8: Firmly hold the pump handle with both hands and push downwards until the pump releases from the flange housing with an audible click. Unscrew the red flange housing from the sprayer and remove the pump from the tank. Fig. 9: Use a screwdriver to lever both black flange semi-circles from the pump cylinder. The pump piston can now be pulled from the pump cylinder. Fig. 10: The sealing ring (m) can now be regreased with silicone grease or replaced if damaged. Assembly: Fig. 11: Place the red flange housing correctly on the pump piston. Push the pump piston into the pump cylinder. Push both black flange semi-circles onto the pump cylinder until they lock with an audible click. Fig. 12: Place the pump cylinder securely on level ground. Line up the red flange housing in the exact position and firmly push the red flange housing down with both hands onto the pump cylinder until the parts lock together with an audible click. ENGLISH 5 10.6 Empty the spray tank and clean all the parts in the spray delivery system to the nozzle Before opening the spraying agent tank and before disassembling the nozzle attachment, depressurise the device by pulling on the pressure relief valve (Fig. 3). Before pulling on the pressure relief valve (d), the device must always be in an upright position. Attention: Keep the device away from your face! Empty the spray tank, flush with clean water all parts in the delivery system to the. Give special attention to the wear parts such as nozzles, filters and seals. Observe the cleaning notes in the original user manual for the chemical. Never use any aggressive, acid- or solventcontaining cleaning agents (e.g. petrol). After cleaning, let the spray tank dry in the open air. Clean the spraying nozzle, filter and filling screen: Fig. 13: x Flush the nozzle assembly with clean water. x Unscrew the nozzle assembly. x Clean the O-rings, filter insert and spray nozzle with clean water and a soft brush. Never blow out the spray nozzle with the mouth! Never clean nozzles with hard objects! x Screw the parts of the nozzle assembly back together (Fig. 2). 10.7 Down periods and storage Empty and clean the sprayer according to chap. 10.6.
