Usage Features
The Evika battery sprayer is designed for user-friendly operation with several key features:
- Battery Charging: To charge the battery, it must first be removed from the sprayer and inserted into the charger. The charger connects to an electrical power source. A red light (E) indicates that charging is in progress, and a green light (F) signifies that charging is complete, typically after about 150 minutes. Once charged, the battery can be reinserted into the sprayer.
- Liquid Filling: The sprayer features a large opening for easy filling of the tank. The cap can be opened by twisting. It is recommended to prepare the pesticide or other liquid mixture separately before pouring it into the tank to ensure proper concentration and avoid spills.
- Telescopic Lance: The steel telescopic lance allows for adjustable reach, making it suitable for spraying at various heights and distances.
- Spray Patterns: The sprayer offers two main spray patterns: direct and spray. This versatility allows users to choose the most appropriate pattern for the task at hand, whether it's a concentrated stream or a wider mist.
- On/Off Switch and Power Indicator: The device includes an on/off switch for easy control and a power indicator to show the battery status.
- Backpack Design: The ergonomic backpack design with straps and a back cushion ensures comfortable carrying, especially during extended use.
- Safety Precautions:
- Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and a mask when spraying.
- Keep the unit out of reach of children.
- Avoid spraying in strong winds to prevent drift.
- Do not spray contents of the sprayer on persons or animals.
- Ensure all parts are intact and the liquid temperature is under 40°C before each use.
- In case of accidental ingestion or skin contact with chemical sprays, consult a poison information center or doctor immediately.
- Always release pressure before refilling, servicing, or storing.
- Do not leave the sprayer (filled, empty, or pressurized) unattended in direct sunlight.
- Do not use solvents or flammable liquids in the sprayer.

- Store the battery in a cool and dry environment, at a room temperature between 15 to 35 °C and humidity of 65%.
- Do not immerse the battery in water or throw it into fire.
- Do not place the battery near heat sources.
- Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
- Do not transport or store the battery with metal objects.
- Do not knock or stamp on the battery.
- Do not use the battery in areas with strong electrostatic or magnetic fields.
- Cleaning: After each use, the sprayer should be thoroughly cleaned to prevent residue buildup and clogging. Release any remaining pressure before cleaning.
- Storage: Store the sprayer in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, and away from children. Ensure the tank is empty and clean before storage.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all parts, including the hose, lance, nozzle, and seals, for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged parts immediately to ensure safe and efficient operation.
- Pressure Release: Always release pressure from the system before opening the tank or performing any maintenance.
By following these guidelines, users can ensure the safe, effective, and long-lasting performance of their Evika battery sprayer.
