To operate, turn the power switch to ON. The spray adjustment button allows for controlling the spray pattern. The trigger lever on the lance activates the spray.
Filling the Tank: The tank has a 15-liter capacity. Ensure the power switch is OFF before filling. The tank filter is fitted into the top of the tank to prevent debris from entering. Use the volumetric indicators on the tank for accurate filling. Do not overfill the tank.
Spraying: The sprayer is suitable for various liquids. Always ensure the sprayer is clean and free from debris. When spraying, maintain a safe distance from the target area and avoid spraying into strong winds. Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing.
Safety: The manual emphasizes the importance of wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent exposure to chemicals and vibration. It also highlights the need to avoid spraying near people, animals, or sensitive plants. The sprayer should not be used near open flames or in poorly ventilated areas.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the sprayer.

After Each Use:
- Dispose of any residual liquid responsibly.
- Wash out the tank with clean water and run the sprayer for 2-3 minutes to remove any residue from the pump, water hose, control handle, spray pipe, and nozzle.
- Wipe away any remaining moisture with a dry cloth.
Water Absorption Strainer Cleaning: The water absorption strainer, located at the bottom of the tank, should be regularly cleaned to prevent blockages. This involves removing the strainer, cleaning it, and then reassembling.
Control Handle Strainer Cleaning: The strainer inside the control handle should also be cleaned periodically. This involves unscrewing the nut, removing the strainer, cleaning it, and reassembling.
Tank Strainer Cleaning: The tank strainer, located at the top of the tank, should be unscrewed, removed, cleaned, and then reassembled.
Storage: Store the sprayer in a child-free, safe, clean, dry indoor location that is away from direct sunlight, has good ventilation, and does not freeze. Do not store liquids in the sprayer during operation.

Troubleshooting

The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues:

Motor (pump) will not work: Check the switch set, battery charge, wiring connections, and switch integrity. Solutions include recharging the battery, repairing wiring, or replacing components.
Pump is working but no spray is coming out: Inspect for blockages in the nozzle, vent hole, water pipe, and piping. Solutions involve cleaning or replacing the affected parts.
Spraying pressure is low: Check for blockages, water absorption strainer issues, control handle strainer problems, and abnormal pressure regulator. Solutions include cleaning or replacing components.
Abnormal sound when sprayer is switched ON: Inspect for pump drive coupling or blocked nozzle.
