Fuel
Petrol and Oil Mixture
Petrol: The engine of your pressure sprayer is a high
performance two-cycle engine that has to be operated with a
petrol/oil mix. The mix can be prepared by the operator or
purchased from specialist dealers as pre-mixed special fuel for
two-cycle engines.
Important: The fuel mix can be made of standard lead-
free petrol, lead-free Euro petrol or lead-free Super petrol
with a minimum rating of 92 ROZ.
Mix Ratio: The mix ratio of petrol / oil is 50:1 (2%) when
using our recommended special 2-cycle oil "Castrol Super TT".
If the recommended oil is not available, a mix ratio of
25:1 (4%) has to be used.
Note: Never store fuel mix for longer than 3 – 4 weeks.

Running-In Instructions
For the first 5 tank fillings use a mix ratio of 25 : 1 (4%)
even when using special two-cycle oil !
•
Do not smoke or be near an open flame when handling fuel
•
Let the machine cool down before re-fuelling
•
Fuel can contain solvent-like substances. Avoid any skin and
eye contact with mineral oil products. Wear gloves when
handling fuel. Frequently change and clean all protective
clothing. Do not inhale petrol fumes.
•
Do not spill fuel or oil. Should a spill occur, immediately
clean the pressure sprayer. Fuel should not enter the
clothing of the operator. Should clothing become
contaminated with fuel, change clothing without delay.
•
Ensure no fuel or oil is spilled on the ground (protection of
environment). Use a suitable ground cover when re-fuelling.
•
Do not re-fuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapours collect at
ground level (danger of explosion)
•
Transport and store fuel and oil only in approved and
specially marked containers. Fuel and oil should be kept
inaccessible to children.
•
When operating the sprayer, avoid inhaling exhaust gas.
The use of this motorized sprayer is not permitted in closed
areas.
Caution and care is required when handling fuel.
Observe safety instructions at all times!
Only re-fuel after the engine is shut down !
•
Thoroughly clean the fuel inlet area on the machine.
•
Remove fuel tank lid and fill fuel only to the bottom of the
filler inlet. Do not add more fuel and always use a funnel
with filter if at all possible.
•
Take care when re-fuelling and do not spill any fuel mix.
•
Firmly re-tighten fuel tank lid.

Assembly
The sprayer has to be completely assembled
prior to its first use.
Check list to ensure all parts were supplied:
1 off motorized pressure sprayer
1 off pre-assembled spray wand
1 off pre-assembled trigger valve with pressure hose
1 off clamp to fasten pressure hose
1 off spray wand holder
1 off operating manual
Preparing the spayer for operation
The sprayer has been partially disassembled for transport reasons
and has to be completed prior to its first use. (fig. 1a-d, 2,3,4,5)
The sprayer may only be used when completely assembled.
1. Connect the carrying strap holder with pre-assembled throttle
lever (10) to the hinge on the back plate and secure with a
screw. (fig. 2)
2. Attach the spray wand bracket to the liquid tank. (fig. 3)
3. The spray wand with adjustable nozzle is sealed to the trigger
valve with an O-ring 16x3. Attach the wand to the trigger valve
and tighten with the cap nut. (fig.4)
4. The pressure hose (6) is attached to the outlet nipple of the
3
regulator (4) and secured with a clamp.

Cold Engine Start
Ensure the trigger valve on the spray wand is closed.
1. Set ignition switch to operating position 'I'. Trigger valve (fig.4)
should be shut (**refer to page 8)
2. Move throttle lever (5) to half-throttle position (fig.5)
3. Close choke with choke lever (14)
4. Push primer bulb (7) repeatedly until fuel is visible in the bulb.
5. Place machine on the ground and securely hold it with your
right hand. Use your left hand to slowly pull out the starter
handle until some resistance is felt. Then pull through briskly
and more forcefully until the engine "fires". Always pull the
starter rope from the starter in a straight line and guide it back
slowly. This will save excessive wear to the starter housing and
the starter rope.
6. Next move choke lever down into "open choke" position and
continue with the starting procedure. When the engine
runs, use the throttle lever (10) to control the engine
speed.
7. To bring the engine to idling speed, move the throttle lever
to position "min".
Warm Engine Start (after engine has
been briefly shut down)
Start the engine without choke, i.e. leave choke in open position.
Shutting down the engine
Move the throttle lever to idling/ stop position. Set ignition switch
to position "o" until the engine shuts down.
Caution: Should the engine not start despite several
starting attempts, the combustion chamber in the engine
is likely to be 'flooded'.
In this case it is recommended to remove and dry the spark plug
(fig.10). Move the ignition switch (11) to position 'O' and the
throttle lever (10) to full throttle 'max'. Pull the starter handle
several times while the spark plug is removed. This will clear the
excess fuel in the combustion chamber. Re-fit the plug and repeat
the starting procedure.
