Hi, this device is called a spray hood. In order to use in the right manner it should folded back 180 degrees.
There are many pictures floating around on the internet with the spray hood in proper use.

Best regards,
Bertill.

Edit to add, see the picture from peeved above he added while I was typing this reply.
