3.6 Transportation of the device
Always switch off the pump when transporting
the device.
To prevent damage and to eliminate potential
hazards for other road users, use secure lashing
equipment to secure the device and prevent it
from tipping over and falling when transporting it
on a vehicle.
Take appropriate measures to ensure that the
spraying agent cannot leak or spill. Check the
spraying agent tank, the pump and all hoses and
pipes that carry the spraying agent for leaks.
Before transporting the device you should ideally
prepare the device for transportation according
to section 9.8.
3.7 Before and during work
Every time before you start using the device,
check the entire device to ensure it is safe to use
according to section 10.
Check the spraying agent tank, the pump and all
hoses and pipes that carry the spraying agent
for leaks.
Never start working if there are any irregularities
or leaks, if you can see any damage to the
equipment (including the support frame), if any
of the adjustment settings are incorrect or if the
equipment is not working properly in any way.
In this event have the device checked by an
autorised SOLO workshop.
In case of serious disturbances or accidents
during operation of the device as smoke, strong
odors from the device or if the device is in
flames instantly remove the unit from your body
and take a safe distance. In case of fire, you
have to call the fire department immediately.
The device must only be operated by one
person at a time. Nobody else must be
within a radius of 15 metres [approx.
16 yards] at the same time.
When switching on the pump, ensure that the
shut-off valve is closed. Point the spray tube
towards a free area.
Always ensure that there is an adequate air
change when working in restricted conditions, in
tight, tall plant growth, in greenhouses, in dips in
the ground or in trenches.
Always remain within calling distance of other
persons who could help in the event of an
emergency.
Take breaks at regular intervals.
Never eat or drink when using spraying agents.
Never smoke in areas where you are
working.
When removing the spray tube, do not point to
yourself or other persons with the end of the
tube.
3.8 Maintenance, repairs and storage
Only perform maintenance work and repairs by
yourself if they are covered in these operating
instructions. All other work must be carried out by
an authorised SOLO workshop.
The repair of modern devices and their safety-
relevant assemblies, requires qualified, specialized
training and a workshop equipped with special
tools and test devices. The specialist has the
required training, experience, and equipment at his
disposal to provide you with the most cost-effective
solution and can help you in many ways with
advice and service.
The device must not be serviced, repaired
or kept in the vicinity of naked flames.
Before doing any maintenance work or repairs
and before opening the spraying agent tank,
switch off the pump and unplug the charger from
the charging socket of the device.
Always switch off the pump and depressurise
the device before unscrewing the high-pressure
hose (7), the shut-off valve (8), the pressure
gauge (9, depending on the model), the spray
tube (10) and the nozzle attachment (11).
To depressurise the device, with the pump
switched off, hold the spray tube in the spraying
agent tank or in a suitable container for the
spraying agent and operate the shut-off valve
until no more fluid is sprayed.
All repairs must only be performed using SOLO
genuine replacement parts.
The device must not be altered in any way, as
this could adversely affect the safety of the
device and potentially cause an accident or
injury.
