The Stocker Art. 244 Electric Sprayer is a device designed to save time, effort, and money in the care of fields by efficiently atomizing liquids for application. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for its use, maintenance, troubleshooting, and lists its components and spare parts.
Function Description
The electric sprayer is primarily used for atomizing liquids, such as herbicides, for application in agricultural or gardening contexts. It operates by drawing liquid from a container and expelling it as a fine mist through a nozzle, powered by an electric motor. The device is designed for ease of use, allowing for controlled and efficient distribution of the liquid.
Important Technical Specifications
- Model: Art. 244 Electric Sprayer
- Capacity: 1 liter (referring to the liquid container)
- Power Source: 2 x R-20 1.5 V batteries (preferably alkaline). The positive pole should be inserted facing forward into the battery compartment.
- Operation: Electric motor-driven atomization.
- Liquid Flow: Gravity-fed, requiring the spray head to be positioned lower than the liquid level in the container for proper operation.
Usage Features
- Battery Installation: Insert two R-20 1.5 V batteries (alkaline recommended) into the battery compartment, ensuring the positive pole faces forward.
- Liquid Filling: Fill the designated container with the herbicide or desired liquid.
- Gravity Feed: Ensure the spray head is positioned lower than the liquid level in the container to facilitate gravity-fed liquid flow.
- Operation Activation: Press the power switch (lever-button) with your thumb to start the motor.
- Atomization: Once the motor starts, the atomized liquid will begin to exit the nozzle.
- Liquid Circulation Control: It is crucial to monitor the circulation of the liquid from the container outlet to the final nozzle outlet to ensure proper function.
- Stopping Operation: To stop the sprayer, pull the safety button.
- Container Disconnection: To separate the container from the sprayer, unscrew the nut and detach the hose along with the valve.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the Stocker Art. 244 Electric Sprayer.
- Battery Condition: Always ensure the batteries are in good condition. If the sprayer will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage.
- Cleaning: Never wash the spray head directly with water. If it becomes dirty, simply clean it with a cloth.
- Herbicide Instructions: When using herbicides, always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the product.
- Connection Reassembly: If the electrical connections are disconnected, ensure they are reconnected correctly: red wire to red wire, and black wire to black wire.
Troubleshooting
If the device does not function correctly, the following points should be checked:
- Battery Charge: Verify that the batteries are not exhausted and are fully charged.
- Battery Position: Confirm that the batteries are inserted in the correct position (positive pole forward).
- Switch Contact: Check that the power switch makes normal contact when pressed.
- Battery Spring: Ensure that the spring supporting the batteries exerts sufficient pressure on them and that it is clean to ensure good electrical contact.
- Cable Connections: Verify that the connecting cables are properly attached to the motor.
- Motor Condition: Confirm that the motor is in good working condition.
- Diffuser Disc: Check that the diffuser disc is not obstructed or braked, allowing for free rotation and proper atomization.
