chemical supplier’s instructions and seek 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 contacts your eyes or skin, is inhaled, or you
develop any symptoms, illness or reactions after spraying.

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.

Maintenance Advice
Over a period of time some chemicals can leave a build-up of residue that normal cleaning will not remove. This build-up can collect around the seals in your sprayer, which may eventually stop the sprayer from working. To overcome this problem we recommend that the bottle be half-filled with hot (not boiling) water. Pressurize and spray for a few minutes. The hot water should dissolve any built up residue allowing your sprayer to operate normally.
Important: For safety, do not leave the sprayer unattended during this operation.
Important: If for some reason your sprayer needs to be returned for warranty purposes, PLEASE wash it out thoroughly to protect our service technicians from exposure to unknown substances.
