6. Spray quantities
Note: Always follow the manufacturerʼs instructions
when mixing spray solutions.
Fill the tank only with the amount of solution you
intend to use.

Older, free-standing trees 3.0 - 5.0 liters per tree
7. Preparing pesticides for use
앬 Pesticides must be used outdoors only and
never in living quarters, stables, or storage
rooms for food and animal feed.
앬 Fill a separate container with pesticide and
thoroughly premix. Now fill the pressure sprayer.
앬 If you intend to use organic spray solutions, they
must be filtered prior to filling the sprayer.
8. Filling
앬 Unscrew the funnel from the bottom of the
pressure sprayer (Fig. 3/Item 10).
앬 Before you screw out the pump, raise the
overpressure valve (Fig. 1/Item 11) and let off any
overpressure that may be in the unit.
앬 Press down the pump/carry handle as far it will go
and slowly unscrew the pump
(counterclockwise).
앬 Screw the funnel onto the tank’s filler opening.
앬 Fill the tank up to the 5 liter mark (max.) with the
solution mixed in accordance with the chemical
manufacturer’s instructions.
앬 Remove the funnel from the tank.
앬 Insert the pump, press down the pump/carry
handle as far it will go and screw in the pump
(clockwise) until it is tight again. The pump/carry
handle will engage in the bayonet lock. Note: The
bayonet lock must be properly latched whenever
you transport the pressure sprayer. Also, the
spray tube should be in the holder provided for
the purpose (Fig. 1/Item 5).
앬 Screw the funnel back onto the bottom of the
pressure sprayer.
9. Spraying
앬 Release the pump/carry handle from the bayonet
lock by pressing it down and gently turning it
counterclockwise.
앬 Pressure is built up in the tank by pumping the
pump/carry handle (up and down).
The tank pressure can be read off the pressure
gauge at any time (Fig. 1/Item 9). The maximum
tank pressure (operating pressure) must not
exceed 3 bar. The overpressure valve (Fig.
1/Item 11) triggers at a positive pressure of
3.2 bar and relieves any pressure exceeding this
amount.
Note: Using a higher pressure increases spray
atomization, however this also increases the
danger of overspray.
Using a lower pressure leads to larger, heavier
droplets, which then more easily drop onto the
ground (causing unnecessary pollution) and
increase the amount of solution required.
Important: Always carry the pressure sprayer
upright.
앬 Press the trigger lever (Fig. 1/Item 7) on the
spray gun handle to spray.
앬 The spray jet will stop immediately if you let go of
the trigger.
앬 You can direct the spray precisely at even hard-
to-reach areas by bending the swan-neck (Fig.
1/Item 3) at the joints.
