7 Mixing spraying agents and filling the spraying agent tank / 8 Using the pressure sprayer
Filling the spraying agent tank:
Always ensure that the pump is switched off
(setting "O" of the pump toggle switch) and
that the shut-off valve (8) as well as the drain plug
(18) is closed before filling any fluids into the
spraying agent tank. Take the device off your back
and place it on a suitable surface on the ground.
When filling the spraying agent tank, always use
the filling strainer (3) located in the filler neck of the
spraying agent tank and observe the total filling
process.
Before filling the tank check the filling strainer for
dirt or damages.
Cleaning the filling strainer: See section 9.8
If the strainer is damaged, replace it by a genuine
SOLO replacement part (part no.: 42 00 166 25,
mesh aperture: 1.65 mm [0.0650"]).
Avoid any direct contact of the filling hose and the
contents of the spraying agent tank.
Fill level markings (4) are applied to the side of the
spraying agent tank (1).
The spraying agent tank has a maximum capacity
of 18 litres [4.76 gal] (top marking). When filling up
the spraying agent tank, ensure you do not fill
above the top marking.
Never allow the spraying agent tank to overflow or
public bodies of water, rainwater drains or sewage
drains to become contaminated.
Immediately wipe up any spilled spraying agent.
After filling, firmly close the spraying agent tank
cap (2) on the filling opening to prevent the
spraying agent from escaping.
ENGLISH 12
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).

8 Using the pressure sprayer

Ensure that you follow all of the safety
instructions when using the pressure sprayer.
Every time you use the pressure sprayer, first
check it all over to ensure it is safe to use
according to section 10.

8.1 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.
Identification of the tank
contents:
Attach the relevant
sticker to the spraying
agent tank to indicate the
contents of the tank (i.e.,
herbicide, fungicide or
insecticide).
The designation of the
spraying agent used has
to be attached to the
device and has to be
updated every time when
the spraying agent is
changed.
