Push the hose up to the stop on the connection sleeve of the quick closure valve and screw down with the coupling nut. Screw the spraying lance onto the quick closure valve. Mount an extension if required (except type Hobby 1200).

Commissioning Before putting into operation, observe Chapter 2 “For your safety”. Danger to health due to escaping spraying pesticides! A leaking device or leaking components may result in draining or spouting of spraying pesticides. You should therefore observe the following safety instructions:

Prior to each use, check the device to ensure fault-free condition and leak-tightness. To perform the leak test, fill the container with water!

Inspect all screw joints for tight fitting.

6.1 Filling the device >>

Remove the container cap and fill the device through the filling strainer. Close the container with the container cap.

Note maximum fill level (see technical data), safety instructions and permissible materials.

Check fill quantity.

Comply with the data of the spray product manufacturer!

6.2 Correctly fitting the shoulder strap / carrier system to the body >>

Figures 16 - 25 You can adjust your shoulder strap/carrier system (type-dependent) accurately to ensure optimal load distribution and fatigue-free working. The device must be worn as close to the body as possible and parallel to the spine. Type Hobby 1200/1800: Padded shoulder strap Fasten the shoulder straps as shown to the lower left and right outer strap buttons and position the device on your back. Tighten the carrying straps over the shoulders by pulling the lower strap ends. The carrying straps can be lengthened or shortened by adjusting the strap buckles. Type Hobby 1800: includes lap belt Before the strap lengths are adjusted, it is first necessary to clip on and tighten the lap belt of this device. Then tighten the carrying straps of the shoulder straps. Type Pro 1300/1800: Carrier system with chest strap (Pro 1800 includes a lap belt) Place the device on your back. Clip on the chest strap and adjust height and width as shown. Tighten the shoulder straps by pulling the lower strap ends as shown. Adjust the carrying straps of the shoulder straps by pulling the upper strap buckles as shown until the device lies parallel on the back. Adjustment is only possible when the device is off the shoulders. Type Pro 1800: includes lap belt The lap belt must be clipped in and tightened on this device before the lower straps ends are pulled to tighten the straps. Tighten the shoulder straps by pulling the lower strap ends as shown.

Figures 26 - 32 You may be exposed to hazards that could injure you when handling the device and the spraying pesticides. You must therefore always comply with the safety instruc- tions/safety measures in this user manual, as well as the following instructions:

The device must only be operated when suspended in a vertical or steep upright position. Move the pump lever from the top to the bottom. This will fill the air vessel and spray line with spray.

Pressing the actuation lever down on the quick closure valve initiates the spraying process. Only now can the pressure be set on the pressure control valve and read on the pressure gauge. Clockwise rotation increases the pressure, counter-clockwise rotation reduces the pressure. The optimal spraying pressure is always dependent on the nozzle used. It lies between 1.5 and 2.5 bar for the hollow cone nozzle mounted at the factory. If the pressure in the hose line and air vessel drops below the pressure set on the pressure regulator, the pressure regulator closes and no spray is released to the nozzle. The pump frequency must be increased in this case. The spray jet is interrupted immediately by releasing the actuation lever on the quick closure valve. Note the wind direction! Do not spray into the wind. Ensure uniform wetting of the object when spraying. The distance from the nozzle to the object to be sprayed should be 40-50 cm.

Clip the spray lance to the pump lever during work interruptions and breaks.

If the pressure control valve interrupts the spray jet, there is still pressure in the hose line and pump. 7 Shutting down

7.1 Emptying & Cleaning >>

Figures 33 - 37 Danger to health due to escaping spraying agents! Pay attention to the safety instructions in this manual. Observe applicable laws and the spec- ifications of the agent manufacturers when disposing of residual quantities. Remove the pressure regulator and release the residual pressure in the tank.

Clean the device and hose system thoroughly with water after each use (rinse several times), actuating the pump and actuation lever on the quick closure valve several times whilst doing so. Collect the discharge and apply as described above diluted 1:10 onto vegetation. Leave the device to dry opened, hanging it up if possible with the opening facing downwards.

Figure 38 - 44 You may be exposed to hazards that could injure you during maintenance work. Wear safety gloves and protective clothing, if necessary.

Completely depressurise the hose line by pulling the actuation lever on the quick closure valve, even if the device is empty, and dispose of any remaining liquid in the system onto vegetation.

The sealing ring in the container cap and all other moving parts must be regularly greased with resin- and acid-free grease.

Observe the national regulations concerning occupational safety which apply to the place of operation as well as the applicable national regulations for operations. An expert inspection must be performed – ideally by the maintenance service of the manufacturer – to establish whether hazard-free operation remains possible. This should be performed in the event of defects that may impair safety in particular, and must be performed at least every 5 years in any case.

Only use original GLORIA spare parts for repairs. (see GLORIA spare parts shop https://shop.gloriagarten.de).

Repairs must only be carried out by a GLORIA service point.

It is forbidden to perform repair work on the container (such as welding and soldering).

Further accessories can be found at www.gloriagarten.de

Figures 45 - 46 You may be exposed to hazards that could injure you when handling the device and the spraying pesticides. You must therefore store the device and the spraying agents out of the reach of children. Empty and clean the device as in Chapter 7.1.

Loosen the container cap – Clip spraying lance onto the spraying lance holder – Store the device without pressure and frost-free. 8 Problems with the device
