PREPARATION OF THE KNAPSACK SPRAYER
MOUNTING THE LANCE Lower the lever in the direction that you will follow to carry out the treatment. Loosen (Fig. 8) the ring nut of the lance by
turning and pushing it towards the handle, making sure it completely fit into its seat, then tighten the ring nut by turning it clockwise. Mounting the
hose: Completely introduce (Fig. 8) the end of the hose onto the relevant connector of the handle and tighten the ring nut by turning it clockwise. In
case of a brass handle, use a screw clamp. Mounting the shoulder strap: fold in half the shoulder strap and insert the folded side into the slot under
the handle (Fig. 2); secure it then with the plastic tab. Mount on the two free ends the hooks (Fig. 3) adjusting the length.
CHANGING THE POSITION OF THE THROTTLE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT The knapsack sprayer is supplied with left throttle. To change the position of the
throttle, remove the snap ring that secure the connecting rod on the throttle (Fig. 9-A), remove the other retaining ring that secure the throttle at
the opposite end of the tank (Fig. 9-B). Remove the throttle from the connecting rod and from the base of the tank (Fig. 9-C). Pull the shoulder straps
(Fig. 9-D). Insert the throttle into the opposite seat (Fig. 10-E). Insert the connecting rod into the throttle (Fig. 10F). Place the brass washer at the end
of the throttle and secure the whole with the pressure mounted snap ring (Fig. 10-G). Replace the snap ring on the connecting rod, throttle side, by
pressure mounting it (Fig. 10-M). Attach the shoulder straps (Fig. 10-N).
FILLING THE TANK Remove the lid and fill the tank by pouring the liquid previously prepared through the filter of the mouth of the tank. The fluid
level must never exceed the bottom of the filter. Replace the cover and screw it tight.
CONDITIONS OF USE Attach the hook of a belt of the shoulder strap, lever side, to the protrusion at the bottom of the tank (Fig. 5). Insert the arm
into the belt just hooked (Fig. 6) and place the knapsack sprayer on the shoulder. Grasp the other strap, carry it on the free shoulder and hook it in
the same way described below for the other side. With the handle in the closed position, operate the knapsack sprayer until you feel some resistance,
then spray, acting on the handle, continuing pumping regularly. Adjust the jet depending on the treatment to be carried out, by turning the terminal
part of the sprayer. Choose the desired spray pattern (Fig. 7).
AFTER USE Pour all the remaining liquid into a container and rinse thoroughly with clean water inside the tank and the hose, spraying clean water
through the lance nozzle. Check that the filters are clean and that the water used for rinsing has completely emptied. Close the tap of the handle and
store the knapsack sprayer upside down in a clean, dry place inaccessible to children, protected from sun and frost.
