Fix the hooks (FE70/1) at the bottom of the shoulder straps (picture 3) (22PTE, 22PTC).
Screw the extension (189TPE) on the handle (22K5) (22PTE, 22PTC).
Check that the status of the battery is good (see Prg. 6.2), this operation which ensures the maximum operation of the sprayer must be done every time you reuse the pump after a period of inactivity.
However, at least every four months of inactivity, the battery must be fully charged (see Prg. 6.2).

FILLING OF THE SPRAYER TANK
Prepare the solution in a specific container.
Unscrew the cap (92/2) of the tank and pour the prepared solution (picture 4) through the filter (78/3).
Carefully screw the cap.
WARNING:
Do not prepare the solution in the sprayer tank but always in a separate container.
Do not ever pour the solution into the tank without the use of the filter.

OPERATION AND POSITIONING OF THE SPRAYER
Link one of the hooks (FE70/1) in its special housing (picture 5) placed in the lower part of the base (98/61), slip one arm in the shoulder strap and put the sprayer on one shoulder, then with the other hand seize the free strap and hook it to the base after passing it over the shoulder. When you put the sprayer away make the opposite operation  (22PTE, 22PTC).
To activate the sprayer first turn on the general switch then turn the handle lever to start the sprayer (22PTE, 22PTC). For sprayer 22PTB, you have to switch it to work directly with the general switch.
WARNING:
Never let the sprayer work when the tank is empty.
This sprayer (22PTE, 22PTC) is supplied with a manual pressure regulator (10/8) and with an adjustable cone nozzle (928) (picture 7). To regulate the pressure variation rotate the handle (fig. 1A) of the regulator; when screwing it tight you get the maximum pressure and by unscrewing it the pressure will be released. The 22PTB sprayer work with a fixed pressure.

OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT AT TERMINATION OF WORK
When finishing work, pour the remaining liquid into a specific container and carefully rinse the internal of the tank and the hose letting it flow through the lance with clean cold water.
Check that the water used for rinsing has completely come out. Turn off the general on/off switch (0-1) after every use.
In case of long inactivity of the machine, after having cleaned the tank, remove, clean, and put back the filter inside the tank (98/5) and the one in the rear part of the handle.  Wear protective clothing and equipment during these activities.
Clean the handle using a wet rag without dipping it into water.
Clean the sprayer from foreign materials such as deposits or other things which could damage it.
The handle (fig.1A) of the regulator must not be left fully screwed in.

WARNING: Do not disperse the rinsing water or the remaining solution in the environment; it is recommended to pour all these liquids in specific drains, appositive for water purification and drainage.
Switch off the general switch (0-1) after every use.
Keep the sprayer out of reach from children and protected it from sun rays and cold temperatures.
