Operating Hints - Solo Port 423 Manuel D'utilisation

Adjustment of carrying strap
Place the machine on the operators back and
click both strap connectors to the frame.
The straps can be adjusted to the required
length with friction slides.
Note: The shoulder straps are correctly
adjusted when the back plate of the
mistblower rests firmly against the back of the
operator.

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.
Spraying (Fig. 6)
To open on tap: Move lever upwards into
position "I".
To shut off tap: Move lever into horizontal
position "O". When shutting tap, move lever
slowly against spring tension to position "0".
Do not let the lever flick back.
Note: For spot spraying (treatment of single
plants or smaller area), push the lever
momentarily into position "2" (spotspraying).
The correct output is obtained according to
dosage-sleeve setting

tube positions
For area treatment or misting trees we
recommend the use of the wide angle nozzle
(fig.8a) on top of the standard nozzle (fig.8b).
This will increase the spray distance with
more even droplet size. The wide angle nozzle
is pushed over the standard nozzle until it
clicks over the retaining lip on the standard
nozzle.
For the treatment of row crops (vines,
tomatoes, tree nurseries), the deflector screen
(Fig.8d) should be used. This will ensure good
coverage on the underside of leaves.
The deflector screen can be replaced with the
double screen (Fig.8e). This screen produces a
divided spray stream at an angle of approx.
90deg.-110deg. and is mainly used for
spraying both sides of a row. Both deflector
screen as well as double screen are pushed
over the end of the cap nozzle (Fig. 8c).
The cap nozzle (Fig.8c), complete with the
required screen is fitted to the end of the
standard nozzle.
For narrow crops and for repeat applications,
the use of the diffuser screen (Fig.8f) together
with the wide angle nozzle (Fig.8a) is
recommended. The diffuser screen softens the
impact of air blast and reduces the damage to
leaves and tender shoots.
