 section 5:  cleaning

The Stem Master should be 
cleaned at the end of each 
day’s use.

 

Prepare a bowl of soapy water 
and have absorbent material 
available

 

Turn the Stem Master upside 
down and unscrew the bottle 
by turning it in a clockwise 
direction.  Place the Stem 
Master safely to one side

 

Decant any unused herbicide 
back into the original 
container and place the Stem 
Master bottle safely to one 
side

 

Remove the handle grip by 
twisting it in a clockwise 
direction and pulling it down 
to release

 

Immerse the Stem Master 
in soapy water, without the 
bottle and the handle grip 
attached

 

Whilst the Stem Master is in 
the water, squeeze the trigger 
several times

 

Triple rinse the bottle and 
clean the handle grip

 

Allow the bottle, handle grip 
and Stem Master to dry

 

Once the Stem Master,  
handle grip and bottle are 
dry, reattach the handle grip 
by pushing it onto the piston 
assembly and secure in an 
anti-clockwise direction

 

Reattach the bottle by firmly 
holding the Stem Master and 
turning the bottle in an anti-
clockwise direction.
