1. Voltmeter (Fig. 3)
The Sprayer is equipped with voltmeter measuring voltage
between 11V~15V. The green
area of color scale indicates
full battery , fit for normal
operation; Yellow area
indicates low voltage but the
system can still keep working for a limited time; The red area
on the left indicates extremely low power requiring immediate
recharging. The lowest working voltage of the Sprayer is DC
11.5v. The alarm will sound to remind the Operator to stop use
and charge the battery when the voltage falls below this value.
The charger should be only be operated indoors in a dry,
ventilated location 50cm above the ground.
If the Sprayer has been only used for a short time, it is
unnecessary to charge if it is to be used again within 1 week. If
the Sprayer not required for a long time, it should be fully
charged and left on trickle charge connected to mains power, or
charged at intervals (such as one month) in a bid to maintain
the capacity and service life of the battery.
Filling tank with chemical. Remove the lid on top of
sprayer to fill the tank (Fig. 4)
with mixed chemical through the strainer
provided slowly, then tighten the tank lid
carefully.
*Never immerse Sprayer in water for filling or cleaning*
4. Spraying
Ensure the trigger is in the off position! Turn on the power
switch (“-“indicates ON, “O” indicates
OFF). Point the nozzle to the required
area and hold down the trigger bar to
start spraying. (Ensure the work area is
clear of people and animals first.)

(II) Spraying on the trailer.
Loosen adjuster at the lower end of the handle bar to suit
the height of operator. (Fig. 7) The straps should be
folded and stored in the tray provided. (Fig. 8)
After the spraying starts, the operator can pull the trailer
with one hand and move forward while using the spray
boom with the other hand. The spraying should be
conducted to the side. The operator should move forward
at constant speed to avoid over-spraying or missing areas.
Never spray in the direction of the wind. The operator
should never stand in the spray drift always walk with the
wind behind you.
Spraying in knapsack mode:
(1) Dismounting of trailer.
When spraying on terrain not fit for trailer, the trailer
may be dismounted and the Sprayer may be mounted
on the operator’s back.
Refer to Fig. 9 for dismounting of trailer. Turn the two
locking nuts on the upper part of trailer anti-clockwise
to separate the trailer from the Sprayer (Fig. 10)

(2) Fixing of shoulder straps (Fig. 11)
(IV). Regulating of pressure (Fig. 12)
Turn the regulating knob to change the pump pressure,
vary the atomizing size and increase the spray pattern
depending on the nozzle or the crops to be sprayed. Turn
the regulating knob clockwise to increase the pressure and
anticlockwise to decrease pressure and increase the droplet
size. (see Fig 12)
The Sprayer has overload protection. When the water
switch is closed or the nozzle is blocked, the pump will
relieve the pressure automatically.
Never use pressure regulating knob as a power switch!
When you have finished spraying, the power switch must
be turned off.
To stop the spraying, you press the power switch to turn
off the pump, and then de-pressurize the lance by

Recommended spray nozzles:
Liquid chemical Solutions (Not Mixed Powders)
The sprayer is supplied with a selection of nozzles which
are suitable for the majority of spraying tasks. As a guide
we only recommend the
Cone Shaped Conical
Nozzle Fig 13. for
pesticides and weed killers.
For fertilizers and disinfectants the fan nozzle is ideal for
application Fig 14
Powder mix chemicals (Pre Mixed Powders)
Never mix chemicals in the sprayer tank!
Always accurately mix powdered chemicals in a suitable
container, prior to adding them to the spray tank.
The four hole adjustable spray nozzle is suitable for mixed
chemicals. It can be adjusted to suit your desired flow rate.
