7.5 Storing the knapsack sprayer correctly
It is essential that you also follow the“Safety instructions for handling the
charger and battery“ in Chapter “Important safety instructions”.
ATTENTION
The battery should not be stored uncharged. Though self discharge is minimal, an empty
battery can be destroyed if stored for an extended period. Thus, observe the following
instructions if not in use for an extended period (e.g. during winter):
Store the battery in a charged state.
Store the battery in a dry, elevated, closed, frost-protected location at a temperature
between 0 °C and + 45 °C. When the storage temperature is +15 °C, self-discharge and
chemical ageing is at its lowest. Avoid direct sunlight.
If the battery is not used for more than 3 months, it should be recharged.

8.1 Emptying
Figures 13 - 14
Do not dispose of residues in the drains, but dilute 1:10 and spread over vegetation.
Clean the device and hose system thoroughly with water after each use (rinse several
times), actuating the pump and actuation lever on the quick closure valve several times
whilst doing so. Collect the discharge and apply as described above diluted 1:10 onto
vegetation. Leave the device to dry opened, hanging it up if possible with the opening
facing downwards.
8.2 Maintenance
Cleaning the sieve tube in the quick closure valve
CAUTION
You may be exposed to hazards that could injure you when cleaning the sieve tube.
Wear safety gloves and protective clothing, if necessary.
Switch off the device.
Completely depressurise the hose line by pulling the actuation lever on the quick
closure valve, even if the device is empty, and dispose of any remaining liquid in the
system onto vegetation.
The sealing ring in the container cap and all other moving parts must be regularly
greased with grease that is free or resin and acids.
Only use original spare parts for repairs.
Repairs must be carried out by a service point.
Unscrew the hose connection from the quick closure valve and remove from the quick clo-
sure valve with the sieve. Unscrew the sieve tube from the hose connection and wash
thoroughly with water. Mount in reverse sequence after cleaning. Hand-tighten all screw
connections.
