Filling of water
The tank should normally be filled 1/3 with water before adding
chemicals. Always follow the instructions on the chemical label.
±
WARNING: If the sprayer is put aside with liquid in the main
tank all liquid control valves must be closed.
Filling - Main Tank
To fill the tank with water, remove the lid found on top of the tank;
this is located at the back on the left hand side. The use of water as
clean as possible is recommended for mistblowing tasks. Always
fill the tank with the upper filter correctly in place to prevent
impurities from entering the tank.
±
WARNING. Do not place the filling hose inside the tank (A). Keep it out of the tank (B) at all times and only
point it towards the inside. If the hose were inside the tank and the pressure from the water supply point
dropped, the chemical products could be siphoned from the tank to the water supply, contaminating the
water supply.
Emptying - Main Tank
To empty the tank with the drain valve, pull the red handle located on the upper left -hand side. The valve is spring-
loaded to return it to the closed position, but it can be kept open by attaching the cord to the locking tab. To shut
it off again, let go of the red handle and the valve will close automatically.
If the tank is not completely emptied, it can be fully drained pulling on the tank drain handle to open the drain
valve, by connecting a hose with HARDI camlock fitting to the tank drain outlet (3) contents may be safely drained
to a container for safe disposal.
