Assembly
You will find the following parts in the packaging
-
Handle with shut-off valve and hose
-
threaded collar
-
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. For model 461 and 462, the complete nozzle (Fig.6
Pos.1) with O-Ring (10×2 mm) must be screwed on the spray tube.
Push the hose completely onto the provided connector of the red-flanged
housing, by using strong pressure and turning the hose. You secure the hose
(Fig.6 Pos.2) by screwing on the threaded collar (Fig.6 Pos.3).
Insure that you have completely pushed the hose on before tightening the
threaded collar.
Firmly screw the spray tube with O-Ring (16×3 mm) onto the shut-off valve. In
the process, -fasten the threaded collar (Fig.6 Pos.4) 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).
Fig. 3 Thread both ends of the carrying strap through the slits provided on
the red flanged housing.
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.4)! Before pulling on the pressure valve the sprayer must always be in an
upright position.
Fig. 7 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 pump by turning it counter clockwise. Do not use
any tools!
Fill the spray liquid to the fill mark maximum.
Model 461: 5 liters
Model 462: 7 liters
Model 463: 10 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 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. (Fig. 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 vertical
position. Empty the container, carefully clean, and rinse 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, acidcontaining, solventcontaining 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.

Malfunction | Remedy |
---|---|
Pumping does not produce pressure | – Screw the pump in more tightly |
– Firmly fasten the threaded collar on the spray tube (shut-off valve and
container).
– Firmly fasten the safety valve.
– Unscrew it and apply Vaseline, reinstall. Firmly fasten the threaded collar,
check the O-ring (Fig. 8.4) on the pump plunger, check the pressure valve
(Fig. 8.6) on the pump plunger.
– clean nozzle
– clean filter
Safety valve opens too soon, does not spray in spite of pressure, or it only
sprays with a poor spray jet| Clean and lubricate O-ring on the pump plunger
with Vaseline, also possibly clean the interior of the cylinder and lubricate
with Vaseline (Fig. 8.4)
Difficult pump movement when pumping/pump
is difficult to screw in and out| Lubricate the O-ring on the upper pump end
with Vaseline (Fig.8.3), lubricate threads
