Product Description
Our backpack sprayers are designed for maximum strength, ease of use, comfort and flexibility. This IK Multi sprayer has a high strength polypropylene tank providing excellent chemical resistance, so that most types of chemical products can be used within a single sprayer.
This knapsack sprayer has a 12 litre capacity and is both easy to assemble and comfortable to wear. The pump handle can be mounted on either side of the tank allowing for ease of use by either left or right-handed operators. It has a moulded carry handle and adjustable, anti corrosive non-slip straps as well as a mechanical agitator within the tank. This ensures that the contents are always mixed so that no separation can take place during the spraying process. The spray lance is made from fibreglass so is both strong and light and we only use Viton seals which are both chemical resistant and long lasting. This knapsack sprayer is also supplied with a metal spray lever (as opposed to plastic that are generally supplied with this type of unit) providing greater strength. All plastic parts and washers are resistant to most acids and solvents, as well as chemical agents widely used in the world of industry, automotive and professional cleaning.
A full operators manual is supplied with each unit.

FAQs
Can I use this sprayer with the telescopic lances?
Yes. This knapsack sprayer can be connected directly to our long telescopic lances including both the 5.4 metre and 3.2 metre. The only slight issue with the 5.4 metre lance is that the maximum working pressure for this sprayer is only 3bar so, if using the lance at full extension when vertical, the spray pattern will not be very powerful. It will still spray but not with as much power as when the lance is shortened or when the angle of spraying is reduced. If you are looking to use the longest of our telescopic lances and use it to spray vertically and at full extension, then we would recommend our RS12 knapsack sprayer or RS18 knapsack sprayer that have a maximum working pressure of 6bar which is double that of this IK sprayer.
What is the difference between 3bar & 6bar working pressure?
The amount of bar basically means the amount of pressure that is pushing the liquid along the hose and lance and out of the nozzle. Generally speaking, the higher the working pressure then the harder the liquid will leave the nozzle.
How do I fit the shoulder straps?
This is probably the most common question that we are asked about this unit. When you unpack your sprayer, you will see that the two straps are fitted to the top of the tank for you, so all you need to do is attach the straps to the base of the tank and this is where confusion can arise as the end of one strap is bare and the other has a hook. There isn't a hook missing as only one strap should have a hook. All you need to do is thread the bare strap through the slits at the base of the tank so that it locks upon itself. This strap is now permanently fixed to the tank. The second strap is simply hooked to the base of the tank when are using the sprayer and unhooked when you want to take off the sprayer. This is detailed on Step 2 of the instruction booklet as a series of 5 photos however, we feel, they are maybe not as explanatory as they could be so, hopefully, this answer has been of help.
