Preparing The Equipment For Use - Birchmeier Spray-Matic 5 P Guia Del Usuario

Important!
Before taking the sprayer into service for the first time, make sure to read the operating manual thoroughly.
The user is liable for damages resulting from failure to observe these instructions.
Failure to observe the safety and warning alerts can result in injury to or death of persons!
Warning!
• Do not use the sprayer while other persons are still in the working area.
• Do not blow out a clogged nozzle or clogged valves with the mouth (danger of poisoning).
• Clean the sprayer after each use, making sure not to cause pollution to water.
• Do not fill chemicals into other containers (bottles, cans or the like). Store equipment and chemicals such that they cannot
be reached by children and household animals.
• When the sprayer is passed on to third parties, definitely make sure that it is accompanied by the operating manual.
• The user is responsible versus third parties, and in particular domestic animals and children, that when taking the sprayer
into service any escaping media as a result of the opening of the safety relief valve, as well as the spray jet during spraying
operations, are not directed at said third parties.
• When spraying the agent avoid contact with the spraying liquid. During this work make sure to wear protective clothing, a
protective mask and safety glasses and to protect the hands.
• Do not spray against the wind, as well as during strong winds. Do not spray any more of the agent than necessary for the
surface to be treated.
Applications
The sprayer can be used for spraying cleaning and disinfection agents which contain acids, alkaline solutions, alcohol or
ammonium in concentrations of approx. 1%, organic acids in concentrations of approx. 5%, as well as of mineral oil-based
solvents. The sprayer can be destroyed by acids and alkaline solutions which are insufficiently diluted, as well as by
concentrated solvents.

Preparing the equipment for use

Fit the spray pipe according the spare parts diagram. Screw the stop valve (11) on to the hose (10) and then insert the spray
tube (13) with nozzle (15) in the stop valve and screw up tight. Finally, make sure all joints are tight.
Operation
Filling the tank:
On each occasion first fully release the pressure in the tank by lifting the pressure-relief valve (1). Unscrew the pump (4) and
fill the tank; the maximum permissible volume of liquid must not be exceeded (see level-mark on the tank), so that sufficient
space remains for the air-cushion. The maximum permissible operating temperature is 30°C / 86°F.
Pressurizing the tank:
Screw in the pump (4) and tighten the connection firmly. Release the pump handle from the locked position by pressing down
on it slightly and turning it to the left. Pump up until the red mark appears on the pressure-relief valve (1). Operating pressure
has then been reached. Fasten the pump handle in the locked position again.
Compressed air: In order to pump up the appliance by using an external pressure source, a pressure-reducing valve must be
used, set to a maximum pressure of 4 bar / 58.02 psi. When a pressure of 4 bar / 58.02 psi has been reached the pressure
source must be removed.
Carrying the sprayer:
The appliance can be carried either by the pump-handle, when this is locked, or by means of the carrying-strap over the
shoulder.
Spraying:
The liquid is sprayed by operating the spray-gun.
Releasing the pressure:
When spraying is completed or before unscrewing the pump in order to re-fill or empty the tank the pressure must be fully
released by lifting the pressure-relief valve (1). When doing this, hold the appliance at an angle, away from the body.
