12.2 Spraying
When applying spraying agent, ensure by using
appropriate measures and procedures that the
unintended release of agent to other areas is
minimized and the drift to the surrounding areas
is prevented.
Always proceed with the greatest care when
spraying.
Never use the device under windy conditions or
if it is raining, as this would risk widespread
drifting of the spraying agent.
Check the wind direction before starting work
and select the spraying direction downwind of
the user.
It is best to perform spraying work in the
morning or evening, as it tends to be less windy
then.
Ensure that you only wet what is in fact intended
to be covered with spraying agents.
Never spray the agent towards persons,
animals, open windows or doors, cars or
anything else that could be damaged by the
spraying agent.
Spraying:
Approach the target object with the engine at
idling speed. Accelerate to full engine speed, then
open formula on-off tap.
Wide-range nozzle (7):
Fig. 7
When spraying plants and trees we recommend
fixing the wide-range nozzle (7) onto the red
standard nozzle (4). This ensures that a large area
can be sprayed at one time. Push the wide-range
nozzle onto the standard nozzle, until the bead
engages.
In narrow spaces and for aftercare, we
recommend placing the wide-angle grille (7a) onto
the wide-range nozzle. This ensures that the spray
velocity is reduced and the spray is applied more
widespread, to prevent damage to leaves.
Nozzle attachment (6):
Fig. 8
The nozzle attachment (6) is positioned onto the
standard nozzle (4) with the selected grille.
Use the dual grille (6a) when spraying cultures in
rows (e.g. vines, tomatoes, nurseries), to achieve a
good covering on the underside of the leaves.
The deflector grille can be replaced with a dual
grille (6b). The dual grille provides a 90° - 110°
spray pattern. The dual grille is usually used for
spraying two rows at a time. The deflector grille
and the dual grille can be placed onto the external
diameter of the nozzle, until the bead engages.
Dual nozzle (accessories, part no.: 49 00 137):

Remove standard nozzle (4) from the spray wand
and push the dual nozzle onto the spray wand.
