The designation of the spraying agent used has to
be attached to the device and has to be updated
every time when the spraying agent is changed.
CAUTION:
Never fill different spraying agents into the
spraying agent tank without first thoroughly
cleaning the tank and all parts that come into
contact with the spraying agent and flushing the
system with plenty of clean water.

500 ml [approx. 16.9 oz], part no.: 49 00 600).
Never use aggressive, acid- or solvent-containing
cleaning agents (gasoline for example).

4.1 Spraying

x When applying spraying agent, ensure by using
appropriate measures and procedures that the
unintended release of agent to other areas is
minimized and the drift to the surrounding areas
is prevented.
x Always proceed with the greatest care when
spraying.
x Never use the device under windy conditions or
if it is raining, as this would risk widespread
drifting of the spraying agent.
x Check the wind direction before starting work
and select the spraying direction downwind of
the user.
x It is best to perform spraying work in the morning
or evening, as it tends to be less windy then.
x Ensure that you only wet what is in fact intended
to be covered with spraying agents.
x Never spray the agent towards persons,
animals, open windows or doors, cars or
anything else that could be damaged by the
spraying agent.
x When spraying, ensure that the spraying agent
is applied evenly and homogeneously to the
treated area.
