Assembly of misting equipment

Attach the blower elbow to the blower housing and secure with both screws. Ensure the elbow can swivel easily. Push pleated hose onto blower elbow and secure with clamp.

Assembly of the handle, spray tube and spray nozzle

Push handle onto spray tube (start from the front) and fix in the required position. A guide on the spray tube will ensure vertical positioning.

Push the spray tube with twist coupling into the pleated hose until locked. Secure with the clamp.

Note: The spray tube can be twisted and turned in the pleated hose with the handle. Ensure that all hose and cable connections are safe and without sharp bends.

Place spray nozzle on to spray tube (vertical to handle) and secure.

Push formula delivery hose (2 pieces) on the nipple of the handle and to the spray nozzle. Secure the hose alongside the pleated hose. Shut on/off the tap (vertical position), fill some plain water in formula tank and check for any leakage.

Filling

When handling the spraying agents, always follow the safety instructions of these operating instructions and the information provided by the manufacturer of the particular spraying agent.

Spraying agent volume: Mix the spraying agents according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the spraying agent. Choose the appropriate volume according to requirements.

Mixing spraying agents: Only mix spraying agents out in the open. Never do this inside living spaces, stables or in storage spaces that are used for food or animal feed. Never mix the spraying agent directly in the spraying agent tank.

Spraying agents in powder form:

• Mix the spraying agent in a separate container, not in the spraying agent tank.
• Ensure that the mixture is thoroughly mixed before pouring it into the spraying agent tank.

Liquid spraying agents:

• Fill 1/4 of the spraying agent tank with clean water.
• Then pre-mix the spraying agent with clean water in a separate container according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the spraying agent.
• Pour the pre-mixed spraying agent into the spraying agent tank.
• Top up with the required amount of clean water according to the manufacturer's instructions.

When using spraying agents that have been mixed from herbal preparations, the liquid needs to be pre-filtered.

For filling the equipment, always use the strainer inside the filler neck and observe the filler area through the filling process.

The strainer has a mesh size of 0.55 mm. Only use original SOLO strainers, part no.: 42 00 104 with standard mesh size.

Avoid any direct contact of the filling hose and the contents of the spraying agent tank.

Fill level markings are applied to the side of the spraying agent tank.

When filling up the tank, ensure that you do not fill above the top marking (maximum fill volume).

Never allow the spraying agent tank to overflow or public bodies of water, rainwater drains or sewage drains to become contaminated. Immediately wipe up any spilled spraying agent.

Identification of the tank contents:

Attach the relevant sticker to the spraying agent tank to indicate the contents of the tank (i.e., herbicide, fungicide or insecticide).

The designation of the spraying agent used has to be attached to the device and has to be updated every time when the spraying agent is changed.

Starting / Stopping the engine

• Before every use and before every start of the mist blower check and ensure the machine is in a good and safe condition. (throttle operation, ignition switch, safety devices, shoulder strap and check for fuel leaks)
• During the starting procedure and while operating the mist blower, the operator must have secure footing and have a safe body position.
• The engine starting site should be at least 3 meters away from the refueling site.

Starting with a cold engine

• Switch ignition switch to ”I” position and close the liquid tap.
• Close choke with choke lever.
• Press primer several times until fuel is visible in the primer.
• Place your left hand on the formula tank of the mist blower. Hold the starter handle (Fig. 1.Pos. 7) with your right hand and pull the handle up slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull up firmly and rapidly until the engine ‘fires’.
• Once the engine tries to start, immediately open the choke and continue to start until the engine is running.

Starting with the warm engine after a short stop

• Leave choke in ”open” position and start the engine.

Shutting off engine

• Release throttle lever and move ignition switch to ”Stop” position until engine stops.
