Translation of the original instructions. Please read the operating instructions carefully and observe the notes given. Use the instructions to familiarise yourself with the Pressure Sprayer, its proper use and the notes on safety. For safety reasons, children under 16 as well as persons not familiar with these operating instructions must not use the Pressure Sprayer. Never operate the product when you are tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicine.
Read the operator’s manual carefully before use and keep for future reference.

Intended use

The GARDENA Pressure Sprayer is intended for distributing solvent-free liquid pesticides 1), herbicides 1), fertilisers 1), window cleaners 1), and car wax

in domestic gardens and allotments. It must not be used in public places, parks, sport arenas, or in agriculture or forestry. Compliance with the specifications in this operating manual is a requirement for the proper use of the Pressure Sprayer. 1) According to the Plant Protection Law as well as the Detergents and Cleaning Agents Law, only approved agents may be used (authorised specialist dealers).

Please note:
Due of the risk of physical injury, the GARDENA Pressure Sprayer must not be used for spraying substances other than those specified by GARDENA. Also, no acids, disinfectants or impregnators, aggressive and solvent-con-taining cleaning agents, petrol or spray oil may be sprayed.

SAFETY

Danger of physical injuries:
Never open the Pressure Sprayer or unscrew the nozzle when the Pressure Sprayer is still pressurised. To prevent injury, never connect the Pressure Sprayer to an air-compressor. Always hold the Pressure Sprayer upright before the safety relief valve 9 (Fig. O1) is pulled. When spraying insecticides, herbicides and fungicides or other liquid plant protection products, you must comply with all special precautionary meas-ures specified by the manufacturer of the product you are using. Before each opening of the Pressure Sprayer, thoroughly release pressure by pulling the safety relief valve 9.

DANGER! Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the polybag can suffocate toddlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble the product.

Operation

CAUTION : The tank may only be filled with a maximum of 5 litres liquid. Inspect the Pressure Sprayer visually before each use. Never leave your Pressure Sprayer unattended or for long periods when full and pres-surised. Keep the unit out of the reach of children. You are responsible for the safety of others. Keep your Pressure Sprayer away from heat sources and hot environments. Screw on the pump handle 0 tightly by hand (do not use tools) and ensure that the O-ring t (Fig. O1) is positioned correctly.

Cleaning:
Release the pressure after each use, empty the container, clean it carefully and rinse with clear water. Then leave the pressure sprayer open and allow it to dry. Do not dispose of residual fluids in the sewerage system (local
disposal systems). Always clean the Pressure Sprayer before using a dif-ferent product to avoid chemical reactions. When using several Pressure Sprayers, the tanks and spray nozzle may not be exchanged between them. We recommend that you have your Pressure Sprayer thoroughly inspected (preferably at a GARDENA Service Centre) after using it for 5 years.

Storage:
Before storing, loosen the tank cap and always empty your Pressure Sprayer completely (also after cleaning with water). Store away from frost. If you use the permanent lock e (Fig. O3) pay attention that you work very carefully. Carry the pressure sprayer only by the locked pump handle 0. Make sure that the product is protected from direct sunlight. The product may heat up.
