Never spray near children, people, animals or bodies of
water.

develop any symptoms after spraying.
Do not spray near food or food preparation areas. When
spraying crops, pay particular attention to the chemical
manufacturers advice on time before crop can be eaten.
Spray only thin watery solutions, thicker mixtures will clog
the nozzle.
Powdered chemicals can be sprayed successfully if they are
completely soluble in water. If they are not, or the solution
tends to settle, spraying can still be successful if the mixture
is continually agitated.
If the material to be sprayed contains sediment, strain the
liquid into the sprayer bottle.
Do not over pressurise the bottle, or tamper with the
pressure release valve. The pressure release valve is
designed to release excess pressure, do not interfere with it,
or force it to remain shut.
Do not leave the sprayer pressurised and/or exposed to
direct sunlight. The maximum working temperature of 30° C
must not be exceeded.
Winter use – Drain liquid from all parts to prevent damage
from freezing.
Routine maintenance – Regularly clean the whole sprayer,
and apply silicon grease to all moving parts and seals. Test
using clean water. Do not attempt to repair or modify any
damaged or broken parts of the sprayer.
• Before carrying out any maintenance on this sprayer, it is
essential to depressurise the bottle by activating the pressure
release valve.
BEFORE SPRAYING
A. Make sure all nuts are screwed hand tight.
B. This sprayer is made from many different types of plastic and
although the liquid you wish to spray may be packed in plastic,
this does not guarantee it will not damage the sprayer. When
filling the sprayer ensure that the maximum fill level is not
exceeded.
C. Ensure that the pump is screwed into the bottle tightly.
D. Operate the pressure release valve manually to ensure it is
functioning correctly and able to move.
E. Ensure the sprayer is upright, and ensure the "Max Fill" is not
exceeded during use.
AFTER SPRAYING
F. Operate the pressure release valve manually to ensure all
pressure is released from the bottle.
G. Unscrew the pump from the bottle. If the sprayer has been
used with chemicals, discard any residual liquid safely, and in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Fill sprayer with clean water, reassemble, and spray until
empty. Check that the nozzle is free from sediment, and if
necessary repeat until the sprayer is clean.
MAINTENANCE

to pump air efficiently. Apply silicon grease regularly to the
pump o ring (A) and piston.
I. The nozzle cap (B) and swirl grooves (C) should be kept clean
and free of obstructions. The o ring seal should be lubricated
to allow the spray pattern to be easily changed. Apply silicon
grease regularly to the nozzle o ring seal (D).

and chemicals by regularly flushing after use, if necessary,
remove and clean the shuttle in the trigger.
