 Ensure that the mixture is thoroughly mixed
before pouring it into the spraying agent tank.
Liquid spraying agents:
 Fill 1/4 of the spraying agent tank with clean
water.
 Then pre-mix the spraying agent with clean
water in a separate container according to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
spraying agent.
 Pour the pre-mixed spraying agent into the
spraying agent tank.
 Top up with the required amount of clean water
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
When using spraying agents that have been mixed
from herbal preparations, the liquid needs to be
pre-filtered.
For filling the equipment, always use the strainer
inside the filler neck and observe the filler area
through the filling process.
The strainer has a mesh size of 0.55 mm. Only
use original SOLO strainers, part no.: 42 00 104

Avoid any direct contact of the filling hose and the
contents of the spraying agent tank.
Fill level markings are applied to the side of the
spraying agent tank .
When filling up the tank, ensure that you do not fill
above the top marking (maximum fill volume).

public bodies of water, rainwater drains or sewage
drains to become contaminated.
Immediately wipe up any spilled spraying agent.
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).

updated every time when
the spraying agent is
changed.
