BEFORE SPRAYING FOR THE FIRST TIME

 

 

Before spraying for the first time use water and liquid detergent 

only

 to familiarise your-

self with the sprayer and check the spray pattern produced. 
 
Put around half a litre of water in backpack or bottle and add a small amount (one to two 
ml) of liquid detergent such as household washing up liquid.  The detergent is important 
to reduce the surface tension in the liquid feed tube and helps ensure an even flow.  With 
the sprayer in the spraying position, check for leaks.   
 
 

Switch on the sprayer and then open the 
flow control valve. Again check for 
leaks. 

 
 
 

 

When spraying, the spray head should be held 5-7 cm 

above the ground or top of weed canopy with the lance at an angle of 35-40

o

 to the 

ground.  Spray on one spot for around 10 seconds, preferably on a clean dry surface e.g. 
concrete where you will be able to see the spray pattern produced.  

2) Remove the switch end 
piece as shown on the label.   

3) Insert four batteries (D-cell/R20) 
negative, i.e. flat, end first.
