12.4 Emptying and cleaning liquid tank
To clean the liquid tank drain all residual
chemicals via the drain plug (13) in a suitable
container. If required, tilt the machine slightly to
the side to ensure complete drainage of any
remaining chemical solution. Before tilting the
machine, ensure the fuel tank lid is tight and all
fuel hoses and parts connected with the fuel
system cannot leak fuel. The engine should have
cooled down. Ensure the liquid will not drain over
machine, especially the engine, but directly in a
suitable container.
Drain and thoroughly rinse the liquid tank daily
after use with fresh water. Observe any cleaning
hints provided in the instructions supplied with the
chemical. After cleaning, leave the tank to dry with
the tank lid open.
We recommend the use of the special SOLO
cleaner for pesticide sprayers that is available in
500 ml [approx. 16.9 oz] dosing bottles. Part no.:
4900600
Never use aggressive, acid- or solvent-containing
cleaning agents (gasoline for example).
Operating and maintenance instructions
Regularly clean the inlet funnel filter and the spray
nozzle with a soft brush. Never use the mouth to
blow through the nozzle!
12.5 Shutdown and storage
Drain and clean the machine according to the
instructions provided in section 12.4 "Emptying and
cleaning liquid tank".
Never use aggressive cleaning solutions or those
containing solvents to clean any part of the engine.
Never hose down the engine. For best results,
simply wipe down the entire engine with a dry or
slightly damp cloth.
Store the device in a dry, safe location inside a
building (garage, basement, ...). There must not be
any open fires or similar nearby. Ensure that the
device cannot be used by unauthorised persons,
especially children.
If not in use for more than four weeks, drain the
fuel tank in a well ventilated location before storing.
Start the engine with an empty fuel tank and drain
the carburettor until the engine stops.
