Description

Symitah is a 16 litre knapsack sprayer which is robust, reliable and very user-friendly.

The electric motor guarantees a very reliable output at constant pressure with minimal maintenance – other than routine cleaning and recharging of the battery.

The battery power gives a more consistent and accurate pressure output than most manual sprayers not only giving a better application, but it also reduces spray inaccuracies and waste. Pressure variations alone can lead to inaccuracies of 20% or more.

Its lightweight durable case increases operator comfort and the 18V 5.2AH Li-Ion battery pack allows you to spray for hours.

The ergonomic design makes for a comfortable, accurate and no-mess application on the outside, whilst on the inside the internal filter and shape make it very easy to wash out.

  9. Squeeze the trigger to apply the product.
  10. The charger indicator lights will highlight the remaining battery life.

NOTE: If your motor stops and the voltmeter reading is low it means that you must recharge your battery.

Maintenance

After every use:

  1. Collect the EXCESS mixture that remains in the tank and dispose of it according to the manufacturers instructions.
  2. Rinse the tank.
  3. Clean the tank’s filler filter.
  4. Clean the suction filter located on the base of the tank. This can gently be pulled upwards.
  5. Rinse both filters by running under a tap or submerging in a bucket.
  6. Refit the suction filter by gently pushing over the outlet.
  7. Rinse the spray system by spraying 2 to 3 litres of clean water (with or without an approved tank cleaner).
  8. Allow the tank to drain.
  9. Charge the battery before storing it.

NOTE: The sprayer must always be stored clean and empty (ideally dry if stored for long periods) without water or treatment product at a temperature higher than 5°C. The sprayer must be checked and the battery charged every 3 months.
DO NOT store the battery in extreme environments e.g. high/low temperature, humidity.
