- If the device is passed on to other persons, they must also be given the user manual!
- Secure the device during transport to prevent the spray liquid escaping.
- Each time before the sprayer is put into operation, regularly check to ensure the fault-free condition and function of the pressurised/liquid-conducting operating elements and the safety valves. Pay particular attention to the tightness of the screw connection and screw joints. Check the material for the formation of cracks, brittleness and corrosion. If damage is suspected, take the unit out of operation immediately.
- Do not leave the device unattended while it is in operation.
- Protect the device against long exposure to the sun and frost.
- The device is not intended for the storage of liquids; empty and rinse daily after each use.
- Do not spray liquids onto hot surfaces.
- Clogged nozzles must not be unblocked by blowing them clear with your mouth.
- When unscrewing spray tubes, do not point the end towards you.
- Never point the spray jet at people or animals.
- As a precautionary measure, we recommend that a particularly extensive inspection be performed – ideally by the manufacturer – after the sprayers have been in use for 2 years.
- Only use GLORIA original spares and accessories for the device.
- Never use worn, modified or defective replacement parts / accessories!
- The device has a maximum service life of 10 years.
2.2 Health hazards
Danger to health through contact with the spraying pesticides! Spraying pesticides can cause damage to health if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed by the skin. Consult a doctor if you develop symptoms or are unsure. You should therefore observe the following safety instructions:
- Observe the safety instructions on the labels of the spraying agent. Observe the maximum specified concentration. Wear protective clothing and safety goggles.
- Always request a safety data sheet from the spraying agent manufacturer and pay attention to this.
2.3 Danger due to damage to equipment
- The device must not be pressurised for extended periods.
- Do not store the device in livestock buildings due to the ammonia vapours (danger of brass cracking), do not fill with solutions containing nitrogen or phosphates.

6.2 Venting container, emptying water & filling with plant protection
product >> Figures (8) – (11)
Information from the spraying agent manufacturer and dosage instructions must be observed.
6.3 Applying pressure and spraying >> Figures (12) – (18)
- Lock the pump handle “A” after the pumping process by press the pump all the way down and turning the pump handle in a clockwise direction beyond the resistance until it stops.
- Press down the control lever on the quick closing valve; this triggers the spraying process.
- Pump when the spray pressure decreases or the yellow marking on the piston gauge is no longer visible. Do not exceed the permissible operating pressure of max. 3 bar.
Yellow marking: You are working with the optimum spray pressure.
Red marking: If you exceed the optimum spraying pressure, do not continue to SPRAY, vent the device.
7 Shutting down
7.1 Emptying & Cleaning >> Figures (19) – (24)
Danger to health due to escaping spraying agents! Pay attention to the safety instructions in this manual. Observe applicable laws and the specifications of the agent manufacturers when disposing of residual quantities.
- Initially vent the standing container fully by pulling on the piston-type pressure gauge with the built-in safety valve “l” and completely releasing the air.
- Now unscrew the pump carefully, at first only a few turns of the thread in a counter-clockwise direction so that any residual compressed air in the container can escape. Only now unscrew and remove the pump completely.
- Do NOT pour the residual quantity into the sink, but pour it through the filling hole into a suitable canister.
7.2 Maintenance >> Figures (25) – (27)
- Observe the national regulations concerning occupational safety which apply to the place of operation as well as the applicable national regulations for operations.
- Only use original GLORIA spare parts for repairs. (see GLORIA spare parts shop https://shop.gloriagarten.de ).
- Repairs must only be carried out by a GLORIA service point.
- Regularly coat the seals with GLORIA silicone grease.
- Further accessories can be found at www.gloriagarten.de
7.3 Storage >> Figures (24) / (28)
You must therefore store the device and the spraying agents out of the reach of children.
- Empty and clean the device as in Chapter 7.1.
