1. SAFETY

Never open the Pressure Sprayer or unscrew the nozzle and the dosing cap
when the Pressure Sprayer is still pressurised. To prevent injury, never con-
nect the Pressure Sprayer to an air-compressor.
Always hold the Pressure Sprayer upright before the safety relief valve
(Fig. O1) is pulled.
When spraying insecticides, herbicides and fungicides or other liquid plant
protection products, you must comply with all special precautionary meas-
ures specified by the manufacturer of the product you are using.
Before each opening of the Pressure Sprayer, thoroughly release

DANGER! Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the
polybag can suffocate toddlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble
the product.

CAUTION: The tank may only be filled with a maximum of 5 litres
liquid. Inspect the Pressure Sprayer visually before each use. Never leave
your Pressure Sprayer unattended or for long periods when full and pres-

Cleaning:
Release the pressure after each use, empty the container, clean it carefully
and rinse with clear water. Then leave the pressure sprayer open and allow
it to dry. Do not dispose of residual fluids in the sewerage system (local
disposal systems). Always clean the Pressure Sprayer before using a dif-
ferent product to avoid chemical reactions. When using several Pressure
Sprayers, the tanks and spray nozzle may not be exchanged between
them. We recommend that you have your Pressure Sprayer thoroughly
inspected (preferably at a GARDENA Service Centre) after using it for
5 years.

Before storing, loosen the tank cap and always empty your Pressure
