4. ASSEMBLY
The Sprayer is assembled except for the pump lever which

(discharge hose and lever grip already fitted) 1-off lever grip
(473 LX lever model) (not 473 model ) The pressure sprayer is
supplied with fittings for assembly of the lever grip (LXlever)
pre-attached on the left-hand side (facing towards the tank
inscription). If you prefer the lever grip (LX lever) to be
mounted on the opposite side, reposition the safety clips (a)
on the r.h. side.
When fitting the LX
lever (model 473), the
retaining tube (b) of
the LX lever should be
facing upwards and
back (facing towards
the tank inscription).
To store the device, raise the pump handle (C) of the LX
lever in the retaining tube (b) and suspend the spray tube in
both clips (d). To work the pump handle (c), lower it again
in the retaining tube (b).
- The spray tube is connected to the shut-off valve by means
of screw cap.
5. CORRECT CHOICE OF
- The spray tube is connected to the shut-off valve by means
of screw cap.
- To regulate the output quantity/droplet size, the spray
pressure can be adjusted in steps from 1 - 4 bar.
- For the treatment of tall bushes or trees, a brass tree lance
(150 cm length) is available as an accessory (part no. 49 00 528).
For the treatment of shrubs, bushes and trees (three
dimensional distribution) we recommend the use of the
hollow cone nozzle. For area treatment (two dimensional
distribution) we recommend the use of a flat spray nozzle.

6. PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

- The pressure is adjusted prior to filling the tank by
turning the adjuster cap (A) on top of the pressure
tank. After any pressure in the pressure tank has been
released via the shut-off valve, press down adjuster cap
and locate the selected pressure marker tooth over the
tooth on the pressure tank.

- Should spray pressure in excess
of 4 bar be required we recommend
to replace the pressure valve with
the pressure plug(part no. 42 00 215)
which is supplied with the unit.
Release any pressure in the pressure
tank first before replacing the valve.
A spanner width of 24 mm
is required.

provided by the chemical manufacturer. Prepare only as
