WARNINGS
This sprayer is intended to deliver aqueous solutions with density less than 1.1 and at a temperature not exceeding 40°C. It is important to strictly

can only use it if supervised by a person responsible. The sprayer is designed for manual use only. Use the sprayer only for its intended use.
Improper use of the sprayer can result in hazardous situations. Always wear protective clothing and equipment to prevent contact with harmful or
toxic products. Prepare the solution in an external container and not in the sprayer tank. Any wettable powders should be perfectly soluble and
filtered. Be careful not to inhale vapours and droplets of the solution delivered. In case of accidental contact and inhalation, consult a doctor. Do
not eat, drink or smoke during treatment. Do not blow into the nozzles with the mouth. Use the sprayer in well ventilated and not-windy areas. In
the presence of wind, do not spray against it. Keep the sprayer away from children and pets. Do not spray near water with fish. Keep the sprayer
away from heat sources, do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight and frost for long. Do not dispose of the unused chemicals into the environment.
Do not tamper with the pressure relief valve. Do not pressurize the sprayer with external equipment (compressors, etc..). Do not unscrew the
closure elements if the tank is under pressure. Before opening the sprayer tank, release all pressure. Do not pressurize the sprayer unnecessarily.
Relieve pressure when not in use. Do not tamper with or modify in any way the sprayer. Before each use, check the condition of the sprayer. Do not
leave it unattended when full and under pressure. The sprayer should always be placed on a horizontal and flat surface. After using the sprayer,
thoroughly wash the hands, face, and clothing used. Repairs should only be carried out by customer service or authorized technicians. Use only
original spare parts.
LIMITED LIABILITY
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by the sprayer if such damage is caused by a failure to heed the instructions for use, improper
use, by a repair performed incorrectly or replacement of spare parts with non-original components, repairs not carried out by the customer service
centre or by a trained technician authorized in writing by the manufacturer himself. The above instruction also apply to components and
accessories.
PREPARATION OF THE SPRAYER
Mounting the lance: Screw the lance directly onto the handle (fig. F). Mounting the hose: Completely introduce (Fig. E) the end of the hose onto the
relevant connector of the handle and tighten the ring nut by turning it clockwise. Mounting the shoulder strap: follow the instructions shown in the
figure.
FILLING THE TANK
Pull out the knob of the pressure relief valve (Fig. 2) to make sure the tank is not pressurized and the valve works properly. Unscrew the sprayer
(Fig. 3) and remove it; pour, then, the solution previously prepared and filtered (Fig. 4) up to 2/3 of the total capacity of the tank. Check that the
inner edge of the tank and the sprayer seal are clean, firmly fasten the sprayer clockwise.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Release the handle from hooks by turning it slightly counter-clockwise and pump 4-5 times alternately (Fig. 5), after a few moments pull the knob of
the pressure relief valve and check that air comes out (Fig. 2). At this point you can continue to pump until reaching the desired pressure and in any
case never exceed 3 bars (approximate calibration level of the drain valve). For spraying, act on the handle (Fig.6); 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). When the jet fades it is necessary
to restore the inner pressure of the tank. The sprayer can be transported by hand with the handle hooked or on the shoulder through the suitable
straps. For herbicide treatments use specific nozzles.
AFTER USE
Keeping the sprayer in a vertical position, pull the knob of the pressure relief valve (Fig. 2) and completely remove any residual pressure from the
tank; unscrew and remove the sprayer (Fig. 3). 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, open the handle and check regularly that the filter is intact and clean. Place the
sprayer, turned over and the pumping device slightly unscrewed, in a clean, dry place inaccessible to children, protected from sun and frost.
MAINTENANCE
Constantly maintain clean, undamaged and greased the seals, the bottom valve of the spraying element, the interior of the cylinder, the inner edge
of the tank. The breakage or hardening of even one of these components may impair the proper functioning of the sprayer. Be careful to correctly
reassemble the components. In case of poor dispensing quality, clean the end of the sprayer with clean water.
