Q: Do I need to read the manuals before using the sprayer?
A: Yes. Always read the engine and pump manuals to understand safe operation and setup procedures.

Q: What should I inspect before starting the sprayer?
A: Look for any damaged, broken, or loose parts. Replace or tighten as needed before operation.

Q: Does the engine come with oil and fuel already filled?
A: No. Engines are shipped dry. You must add the correct type of oil and fuel before starting.

Q: Why should I run the sprayer with water before using chemicals?
A: Running with clean water first lets you check for leaks, test functionality, and prevent wasting or contaminating chemicals.

Q: How much water should I put in the tank before starting?
A: Fill the tank halfway with clean water. This allows enough volume to check for leaks and system flow.

Q: How should I set the regulator before starting the engine?
A: Turn the regulator to the ‘START’ position (or ‘BYPASS’ for compatible systems) before starting the engine.

Q: How long should I run the system before spraying?
A: Run it for about 30 seconds in ‘START’ or ‘BYPASS’ mode to remove all air bubbles from the return line.

Q: What steps are needed to start the engine properly?
A:
Turn fuel valve to ON.
Use CLOSED choke if engine is cold; leave it OPEN if warm.
Move throttle about 1/3 of the way toward MAX.
Turn engine switch ON.
Pull the starter cord briskly.
Gradually open the choke as the engine warms up.

Q: How do I set the engine speed?
A: Use the throttle lever to adjust to your desired spray pressure—more throttle gives higher pressure.

Q: How do I stop the engine properly?
A:
Move throttle to MIN.
Turn engine switch OFF.
Turn fuel valve OFF.

Q: What should I do before I start spraying?
A: Complete the full startup procedure and ensure that chemicals are mixed properly in the tank.

Q: How do I set the spray pressure?
A: Turn the regulator to the desired pressure range (typically 10–40 bar, depending on your setup).

Q: How do I start and stop spraying?
A:
Start: Pull the spray gun trigger.
Stop: Release the trigger. The system will automatically return liquid to the tank.

Q: Should I reduce pressure before shutting down?
A: Yes. Always turn the regulator back to ‘START’ or ‘BYPASS’ to release pressure and protect the system.

Q: Where should I mix chemicals?
A: Choose a safe, ventilated area away from water sources, drains, animals, and children.

Q: What’s the proper way to add chemicals to the tank?
A: Half-fill the tank with water first, then add chemicals according to the label instructions.

Q: How do I ensure proper mixing of the solution?
A: Stir manually with a paddle or run the pump briefly with the regulator in ‘START’ or ‘BYPASS’ mode.

Q: What should I do with used chemical containers?
A: Rinse them thoroughly, add the rinse water to the tank, and dispose of the containers safely according to local regulations.

Q: What’s the cleanup procedure after filling and spraying?
A: Wash off any chemical spills, clean the tank and lines, safely store leftover product, and dispose of waste properly.
