The pressure sprayer is designed for foaming commercially available, low-viscosity and pure spraying agents and is suitable for private, professional and industrial applications. The spraying agents need to be suitable for foaming.

Only spraying agents with a pH value between 5 and 10 may be used.

You may only operate the pressure sprayer within the operating temperature range (see Chapter "10 Technical data" on page 11).

Any other use is considered improper.

2 Information for safe use

Read and observe the operating instructions and follow all safety instructions. Keep the operating instructions in a safe place for later use. If you hand over the

pressure sprayer to someone else (for example, sell it), you must also include the operating instructions.

Spraying agents are mixtures of different substances whose composition is only known by the spraying agent manufacturer. Check the suitability of the spraying

agent before use. If you have any questions about the suitability of a spraying agent or you are unsure, please contact the spraying agent manufacturer or the Gloria Service department.

Do not fill the container with any spraying agents that contain solvents or are highly caustic.

Do not mix different spraying agents. Unexpected, dangerous chemical reactions can occur.

Never use the following spraying agents:

• Oils and fuels
  ■ Flammable liquids with a flash point below 60°C
  ■ Formic acid and hydrofluoric acid in any concentration
  ■ Pesticides
  ■ Spraying agents with a temperature above 40°C
  ■ Viscous spraying agents that leave sticky residues
  ■ Wetting agents (surface-active agents) that cause or promote cracking in the plastics used.

Observe the safety instructions of the spraying agent manufacturer. Always request a safety data sheet from the spraying agent manufacturer. Observe the

specified maximum concentration of the spraying agent. Some spraying agents require that you wear filter masks, protective goggles, protective gloves and a protective suit. Wear the required protection equipment. Do not try to clear blocked nozzles by blowing them out with your mouth.

If you come into contact with caustic or skin-irritating spraying agents, rinse the affected areas with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor.

Only eat, drink or smoke after removing your protective equipment and carefully cleaning your hands and face.

Do not modify or repair the pressure

sprayer yourself. Do not modify or remove safety devices.

Faulty pressure sprayers may only be repaired by an authorised workshop.

Do not allow children to play with the pressure sprayer. Keep minors under the age of 16 away from the pressure sprayer. The pressure sprayer may be used by minors over the age of 16 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and knowledge, but only if they are supervised or have been instructed in using the pressure sprayer safely and understand the risks involved. Cleaning and maintenance must not be undertaken by minors under the age of 16. Minors over the age of 16 must be supervised during cleaning and maintenance.

Residual risks: The pressure sprayer complies with the recognised rules of technology and the relevant safety regulations. Nevertheless, some residual risks remain. Observe all safety instructions.

Limitation of liability: According to the Product Liability Act, the manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused by failure to comply with these operating instructions, by improper use or by unauthorised repairs.

3 Overview

Parts of the pressure sprayer

1 Hose line 10 Shoulder strap
2 Lever 11 Container
3 Quick-acting valve 12 Filling level indicator
4 Lock 13 Union nut with kink 5 Spray lance protection
6 Nozzle with foam cartridge 14 Filling funnel
7 Overpressure valve 15 Pump handle
8 Receptacle 16 Foam cartridges
9 Base ring

4 Assembly

Assemble the pressure sprayer as shown in Figures A. Make sure that you fit the union nuts on straight. The union nuts must not be cross-threaded.

After assembly, check all screw connections are secure. In particular, make sure the overpressure valve is screwed tight.

5 Operation

Opening the container

Observe the following safety information:

- You may only open the container if it has been depressurised.

1. Release the pressure from the container by turning the overpressure valve left to the stop (see Figure B). Allow the pressurised air to escape completely.

2. Turn the pump handle slowly to the left. Allow any pressurised air remaining in the container to escape (see Figure C1).

3. Turn the pump handle further to the left to screw out the pump (see Figure C2).

Filling the tank

Observe the following safety instructions:

• Check that the overpressure valve moves freely before filling.
  ■ Do not hold the overpressure valve closed.

• Place the pressure sprayer on a flat and level surface.

• Release the pressure from the container and open the container.
• Pour the spray liquid into the container. Observe the maximum filling quantity (see Figure E).
• Insert the pump in the filling funnel.
• Screw the pump into the container using the pump handle.
• Release the catch on the pump handle (see Figure D1).
• Place both feet on the extended part of the base ring and hold the container securely between your legs.
• Press the pump handle until a pressure of 3 bar is reached (see Figures H). Observe the pressure indicator on the overpressure valve (see Figures G). As the pressure rises, the overpressure valve rises and you will hear the overpressure valve release air when the maximum pressure of 3 bar is exceeded.
• Lock the pump handle (see Figure D2).

Spraying

The level of foaming depends on the tendency of the spraying agent to produce foam, on the concentration of the spraying agent, the water hardness and the foam cartridge used.

Disassemble the nozzle to change the foam cartridge (see Figure L).

Observe the following safety instructions:

■ Before use, check that all screw connections are secure. Tighten any loose screw connections.
■ Before every use, check the pressure sprayer for any damage, leaks and proper working order. Do not use the pressure sprayer if it is faulty.
- Note the direction of the wind. Do not spray into the wind.
■ Never direct the spray jet at people or animals.
- If possible, spray the whole contents of the container.

Direct the nozzles at the object being sprayed and operate the lever on the quick-acting valve. To spray continuously, you can lock the lever on the quick-acting valve (see Figure F1).

To prevent accidental spraying, you can lock the lever on the quick-acting valve in the initial position (see Figure F2).

Press the pump handle if spraying pressure drops.

Emptying the container

1. Release the pressure from the container and open the container.
2. Pour the remaining spraying agent into a suitable vessel.
3. Dispose of the remaining spraying agent in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Also, follow the disposal instructions on the spraying agent packaging.
4. Clean the pressure sprayer.

6 Cleaning and maintenance

Clean the pressure sprayer thoroughly after each time you use it.

1. Release the pressure from the container and open the container.
2. Empty the container.
3. Clean the container, the hose line, the spray lance and the filters with a suitable cleaning fluid (see Figure I). Also, follow any cleaning instructions on the spraying agent packaging.

Grease the seals on the pump and on the quick-acting valve on a regular basis, but at the latest when the pressure sprayer function is impaired (see Chapter "9 Troubleshooting" on page 11).

You may only use resin- and acid-free greases. You can obtain a suitable silicone grease from GLORIA (item number 728781.1111).

7 Storage

Only store the pressure sprayer once the container has been depressurised and no longer contains any spraying agent. Store the pressure sprayer in opened state. Protect the pressure sprayer from prolonged exposure to sunlight and frost.

Keep the pressure sprayer and spraying agents out of reach of children.

8 Disposal

The pressure sprayer may be used for a maximum of 10 years.

Old sprayers must not be disposed of in normal household waste. Dispose of the pressure sprayer in accordance with applicable local regulations.

Check with your local authority to find out how to recycle the individual materials properly.
