  After each use, wash hands and face thoroughly.

Avoiding faulty operation

• Operate and move the pressure spraying device only in a vertical position. This is the only way to ensure perfect functionality.
• Never store fluids in the tank. These may block the system as they dry and result in damages to the pressure spraying device.

- Safety valve

WARNING! Injuries are possible as a result of changes made to the safety valve. Do not make changes to the safety valve. The safety valve prevents too much pressure being built up in the tank, which may lead to explosion. Each time, before opening the tank, release the residual pressure in the tank by pulling on the safety valve.

Operation

The pump is used to create overpressure in the tank. The overpressure pushes the spray out of the tank to the nozzle. You can set the spray jet.
