Operating Hints; Adjustment Of Shoulder Straps; Filling; Misting - Solo 450 Manuel D'utilisation

6. Operating Hints

Before every use and before every start of the
mistblower check and ensure the machine is in 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 mistblower, 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.

6.1 Adjustment of shoulder straps

Fig. 7
Place the mistblower on the back and connect to
quick couplings (Fig.1, 12) on either side.
The straps can be adjusted to the required length
with friction slides. Simply pull down both strap
ends to tighten straps (a).
Strap tension can be released by lifting both friction
slides (b).
Note:
The shoulder straps are correctly adjusted when the
back plate of the mist-blower rests firmly against
the back of the operator.

6.2 Filling

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