10. Filling

When handling the spraying agents, always follow
the safety instructions of these operating
instructions (pay special attention to section 4.6)
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.
 Prevent any direct contact between the external
filling hose and the tank contents.
 The spray medium must not be allowed to enter
the water mains through backlash.
 When filling with spray medium, ensure that
neither environment, nature nor the water
mains ever make contact with the spray
medium.
 Prevent the tank from overflowing, the
contamination of public water, foul water and
drainage channels.
Immediately wipe up any spilled spraying agent.
 The strainer has a mesh size of 0.55 mm. Only
use original SOLO strainers, part no.: 42 00 153
with standard mesh size.
CAUTION:
Never fill different spraying agents into the
spraying agent tank without first thoroughly
cleaning the tank and all parts that come into
contact with the spraying agent and flushing the
system with plenty of clean water.
Recommendation: Use the special SOLO cleaner
for plant protection sprayers (dosing bottle of
500 ml [approx. 16.9 oz], part no.: 49 00 600).
Never use aggressive, acid- or solvent-containing
cleaning agents (gasoline for example).

device and has to be
updated every time when
the spraying agent is
changed.
