• Dispose of empty chemical containers and chemical residues in accordance with the instructions supplied by the chemical manufacturer.

Operating Instructions

IMPORTANT!

• Rinse the inside of the tank with cold water before use.
• Before using any chemicals, including herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, and weed killers, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the sprayer operation by filling it with water and testing the various spray patterns.
• Thick mixtures can clog the spray nozzle. Solutions of this kind should be strained and diluted to prevent blockages.
• Wash the container, all attachments, and your hands thoroughly after each use.
• Always wear the recommended safety clothing and equipment when handling chemicals and operating the sprayer.

After Use

IMPORTANT!

• After ensuring the sprayer contains no pressure, empty any liquid left inside the tank. Dispose of empty chemical containers and chemical residues in accordance with the instructions supplied by the chemical manufacturer.
• Note: Even though the bottle may have no liquid left inside, the actual pump chamber may still contain residual fluid. To empty the residual fluid, press the On/Off button to ensure that all liquid and air is fully expelled.
• Refill the bottle with approximately 2 litres of clean tap water, then press the On/Off button and start expelling all the water until empty.
• Do not store in direct sunlight and store out of reach of children.

Maintenance Advice

• Over time, chemicals can leave a build-up of residue that normal cleaning will not remove. This build-up can collect around the seals and inside the hose and pump. If left, this build-up will eventually prevent the sprayer from working.
• To overcome this problem, we recommend that the sprayer bottle be half-filled with hot (not boiling) water from your domestic hot water supply.
• By pressing the sprayer On/Off button, start expelling all the water until empty.
• The hot water should dissolve the built-up residue, and the sprayer will continue to operate normally.
• Important: For safety, ensure you wear protective clothing, goggles, and gloves during this operation.
• Important: If for some reason your sprayer needs to be returned for warranty purposes, PLEASE wash it out thoroughly to protect our service technicians from exposure to unknown substances.
