● Check the functioning of the unit each
time before startup, and make a special
check of the hose connection and the
screw connectors. Check the material
for tears, brittleness and corrosion.
● The safety valve must be checked
each time before startup! Insert the
pump and screw it up tight. Operate
the pump until the pressure gauge
shows no further increase (the
safety valve blows off the excess
pressure). The maximum pressure
shown on the pressure gauge must
never exceed 6.6 bar.
● Spraying agents that are environ-
mentally harmful should be use up as
far as possible on the object of the
spraying, any unavoidable residues
should be put in a suitable holding
container and sent for special dis-
posal. Observe the German Water
Protection Law (WHG) for liquids that
are harmful to the groundwater. Ob-
serve the German Ordinance on the
Storage of Liquids that are Harmful to
the Groundwater (VLwF) when stor-
ing liquids; also observe the German
Working Materials Ordinance, Tech-
nical Instruction Air (TA-Luft).
● Do not leave the filled tank in strong
sunshine. Do not exceed operating
temperatures of 50°C.

● Store the unit in a place out of the
reach of children.
● Do not leave a ready-filled unit unat-
tended at the place where it is being
used.
● Do not leave the unit under pressure
unnecessarily for longer periods of
time.
● Do not try to clear blocked nozzles by
blowing into them with your mouth.
● When unscrewing the spray tubes,
keep the end pointed away from you.
● No persons should be in the area of
the spray mist during the spraying
operation.
● Do not store the unit in barns or sta-
bles where cattle are kept as the
ammonia vapours may cause
cracks to form in the brass parts; do
not fill tank with solutions containing
nitrogen or phosphate.
● Thoroughly clean out the tank im-
mediately after use, and then dry it
well (see Emptying and Servicing).
Do not store spraying agent in the
tank.
● As a precautionary measure, we re-
commend that the high pressure
spray unit be subjected to a particu-
larly thorough inspection every five
years, preferably by the manufacturer.
Repairs to the tank are not permitted.
