Safety directives and general instructions

• Compliance with this safety manual is a prerequisite for the proper operation of the sprayer.
• The pressure sprayer must be checked before each use.
• Prior to every use, ensure the proper functioning of the safety valve (4).
• This pressure sprayer is suitable for applying approved liquid plant protection, insecticides, and weed-killing substances, as well as liquid fertilizers that are available from authorized dealers. We recommend using only plant protection substances that are approved by the German BBA (German Federal Biological Institute).
• Solvent-free window cleaners, car wax, and conservation substances are also suitable for cleaning and care in private households.
• The sprayer must be cleaned when changing the spray substance. This avoids possible chemical reactions.
• Do not use liquids over 40°C.
• Due to bodily hazards, only the abovementioned liquid substances may be applied with this sprayer. Disinfectants and impregnation substances may not be used.
• Never leave the filled and /or pressurized pressure sprayer unattended for longer periods.
• For safety reasons, children, young people under the age of 16, and persons that are not familiar with these operating instructions may not use this pressure sprayer.
• The pressure sprayer must be kept out of the reach of children.
• The user is responsible relative to third persons.
• The pressure sprayer must be de-pressurized before disassembly of any component, and before opening the pump, by pulling on the pressure valve (Fig 3)! Before pulling on the pressure valve, the sprayer must always be in an upright position. Attention: keep the sprayer away from your face!
• Do not expose the pressure sprayer to high temperatures.

Malfunctions of any kind, such as, for example,

• leaks at the tank, spray pipe and tubing,
• signs of damage, cracks, etc.,
• Another irregularity is the syringe immediately make pressure on the safety valve. The sprayer must not be reused but must be checked by a qualified person.

The manufacturer was not aware of any harmful effects on the product materials caused by plant protection substances at the time the product was manufactured.

Assembly

You will find the following parts in the packaging

• Spray tube

• Alternative nozzle set with associated gasket
  

• 1 pc. each symbolic label for container content: herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide.
  NOTE: Affix the appropriate label to identify the container content.

PLEASE NOTE:
Never pour different agents at the same time into the container. Before using a different agent, thoroughly clean out the container and all parts in contact with the spray agent,  then flush with plenty of water. We recommend the SOLO horticultural equipment cleaner in 500 ml bottles; part no. 49 00 600.
Firmly screw the spray tube with O-Ring (16×3 mm) onto the shut-off valve. In the process, -fasten the threaded collar (Fig.2 pos 9) on straight and firmly tighten it by hand –  do not use force and do not use any tools to firmly fasten the collar! When your work is completed, the spray tube should be fitted into the holding clamp. Please put the nozzle completely up (Fig 1).

Placing in service

The pressure sprayer must be de-pressurized before disassembling any component, and before opening the pump, by pulling on the pressure valve (Fig 3)! Before pulling on the pressure valve the sprayer must always be in an upright position.

The pump must be removed to fill the spray liquid. To do this, push the pump handle down and turn it to the left (counterclockwise) until the handle clicks into position.  Unscrew the pump by turning it counterclockwise. Do not use any tools!
Fill the spray liquid to the fill mark maximum.
Model 456: 5,0 liters
Model 457: 7,0 liters
In this regard, follow the safety directives and insure the correct dosing according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the spray substance!
Thoroughly mix the liquid, insert pump and refasten firmly by turning clockwise. Firmly tighten by turning the pump handle clockwise until it clicks into position.

To pump, loosen the pump handle by turning out of the stop position. Pump the unit until the operating pressure is reached in the container. Excessive pressure escapes automatically through the safety valve. (4) Take the spray tube in your hand and start the spray process by pressing the shut-off valve. Releasing the shut-off valve stops the spray process.
The shut-off valve can be blocked in the rest position with the red clamp, to prevent unintended spraying.
Alternativ spray nozzles see the accessory overview on the original packaging. The spray tube can be rotated in the shut-off valve

• after loosening the threaded collar – this is useful for spraying under leaves.

The pressure sprayer can also be carried by the pump handle, if the pump handle is pressed down completely, and it is turned to the right and clicked into position.

Cleaning, care, and storage

After each use, release pressure, always keeping the sprayer in a vertical position. Empty the container, carefully clean it, and rinse it well with clean water. Do not empty residual quantities of spray liquid into watercourses; rather dispose of them via communal disposal systems.
For cleaning nozzle, spray tube, and shut-off valve, operate the sprayer using clean water (add dishwashing detergent if required).

Occasionally clean the filter and spray nozzle with water and a soft brush. Never use your mouth to blow through the spray nozzle!
Never use aggressive, acid-containing, solvent-containing cleaning substances (gasoline for example).

Always empty the sprayer completely and store it in a location that is dry, frost-free, and protected from direct sunlight.

For proper sealing of the tank, the cap gasket (10) must be well greased with silicone grease.

If the pump is hard to operate, the sealing ring (Fig. 7 – Pos. 11) should be greased with silicone grease or replaced if necessary. The pump has to be disassembled as follows for  this job:
Fig.4: Ensure the sprayer is empty and not pressurized. Place sprayer securely on level ground. When the pump is completely screwed onto the container, loosen the pump with 1 – 2  turns.
Fig. 5: Firmly hold the pump handle with both hands and push downwards until the pump releases from the flange housing with an audible click. Unscrew the red flange housing from the sprayer and remove the pump from the container.
Fig. 6: Use a screwdriver to lever both black flange semi-circles from the pump cylinder. The pump piston can now be pulled from the pump cylinder.
Fig. 7: The sealing ring  (11) can now be re-greased with silicone grease or replaced if damaged.

Assembly:
Fig. 8: Place the red flange housing correctly on the pump piston.
Push the pump piston into the pump cylinder. Push both black flange semi- circles onto the pump cylinder until they lock with an audible click.
Fig. 9: Place the pump cylinder securely on level ground. Line up the red flange housing in the exact position and firmly push the red flange housing down with both hands onto the pump cylinder until the parts lock together with an audible click.

Consult your dealer if you have questions.
