The GARDENA Pressure Sprayer is intended for distributing
solvent-free liquid pesticides

, and car wax

in domestic gardens and allotments.
It must not be used in public places, parks, sport arenas, or in
agriculture or forestry.
Compliance with the operating instructions provided by the manu-
facturer is a prerequisite for using the Pressure Sprayer correctly.
1) In accordance with the laws governing the use of pesticides and detergents,
only authorised substances may be used (authorised specialist shop).
Due of the risk of physical injury, the GARDENA Pressure
Sprayer must not be used for spraying substances other
than those specified by GARDENA. Do not use your Pres-
sure Sprayer for spraying acids, disinfectants or water-
proofing agents.
We recommend that you only use pesticides approved by the
BBA (German Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture
and Forestry). To our knowledge at the time of manufacturing
the unit, the pesticides approved by the BBA will not damage the
materials used to construct the Pressure Sprayer.
When spraying insecticides, herbicides and fungicides or other
liquid plant protection products, you must comply with all special
precautionary measures specified by the manufacturer of the
product you are using.

Do not dispose of residual fluids in the
sewerage system (

local disposal systems).
v
Always clean the Pressure Sprayer before
using a different product to avoid chemical
reactions.
For cleaning the valves, the spray pipe and
nozzle, operate the unit with clear water
(if necessary, by adding some washing-up
liquid).
v
To prevent reactions with the products you
are using, never use aggressive cleaning
agents that contain solvent or petrol.

When there is dirt on the container cap or
the container, clean the container carefully
around the thread and the thread O-ring.
Take care not to mix up the tanks and tank
caps if you are using several Pressure

pletely (also after cleaning with water).
