their advice if unsure of chemical combability. To be used by adults only.
Always work in a well-ventilated area. Seek medical attention if spray

Safety Instructions
Caution: contents under pressure. Read this before operating.
- Release pressure from the bottle before refilling or replacing parts. This is done by slowly pulling up the safety valve and holding until all air has been released. Then unscrew the container cap. Note: some remaining air may be expelled.
- Inspect the condition of all fittings before each use. Do not attempt to use your sprayer with worn or damaged parts. These parts should be replaced. Refer to spare parts list.
- Safety valve operation: over pumping will cause the safety valve to open and release excess pressure. It will close when safe operating pressure is reached.
- Safety valve test: fill the bottle to the maximum filling level with clean water. Pressurise by pumping a few times. Once it has reached full pressure the valve should lift, allowing the red indicator to become visible and air to escape. If this does not happen, replace the safety valve.
- Your sprayer is made from many different types of plastic materials, and although the liquid you may wish to use is packed in a plastic container, it is not guaranteed that it will not damage your sprayer. Your sprayer is designed for use with a broad range of domestic water based herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and fertilisers. Do not use other types of chemicals as they may be detrimental to the safe operation of your sprayer.
- Follow chemical suppliers on-pack instructions.
