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; secure it then with the plastic tab. Mount on the two free ends the hooks (Fig. 3) adjusting the length.
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.
MAINTENANCE
Always keep clean, intact and greased all seals, valves, the pumping device and its components. The breakage or hardening of even one of

of poor dispensing quality, clean the end of the sprayer with clean water.
