100° anti-clockwise to release the protective
casing.

bridge on the protective casing and connect
them to the correct terminal on the
rechargeable battery.

red terminal on the rechargeable battery.

5.2 Charging the battery
Read the safety instructions.
The rechargeable battery needs to be charged
before you can use the backpack sprayer for the
first time.
The standard battery (5 Ah) needs to be charged
for at least 5 hours, while the optional upgrade
battery (7.2 Ah) needs to be charged for at least 7
hours.
Before charging, connect the battery as described
in the previous section.
Connect the charging cable of the charger to the
charging socket (13) of the backpack sprayer.
Connect the charger to a suitable power supply
using the correct power cable - according to the
country-specific plugs, which is supplied together
with the backpack sprayer.
The charger automatically adapts to any AC 50/60
Hz mains voltage between 100 V and 240 V.
While the battery is charging, the LED on the
charger lights up red. Once the battery is fully
charged, the LED switches to green and charging
stops automatically. Over-charging of the battery is
prevented.
Once the charging process is finished, disconnect
the power plug from the socket and then
disconnect the charging cable from the charging
socket on the backpack sprayer.
