Safe Handling Of Spray Pesticides; Safe Handling Of The Rechargeable Battery And The Charger - Solo 416 Notice Originale

1.3 Safe handling of spray pesticides

 Pesticides must never be allowed to enter public sewer systems, sprayed onto wastelands, allowed to
drain into natural bodies of water or disposed of together with normal domestic waste. This also means
that appropriate care must be taken during filling to ensure that none of the pesticide is drawn back
into water pipes. Pesticides and any unused leftovers of pesticides must always be collected in a
suitable container and disposed of via approved facilities for household chemical waste. Please
contact your local authorities for information about your nearest disposal facilities.
 Avoid any direct contact with pesticides.
 Stop working immediately if you start to feel unwell while working, or if you become unusually tired.
Seek medical advice if the condition persists.
 Never allow children or anybody who is not familiar with handling this type of spraying agent to handle
the spraying agent.
 Clean the solution tank whenever the spraying agent is changed. Run the backpack sprayer with clear
water after cleaning the solution tank – but before the next spraying agent is filled – flush out any
residue from the pump and the hoses. This will prevent the risk of any chemical reactions taking place
between the different substances.
 Never spray in narrow or enclosed spaces – pesticides are toxic and there is a risk of poisoning.
Spraying equipment must for example only be used in greenhouses if adequate ventilation is provided.
Signs must be put up in greenhouses that have been treated. Nobody should enter the greenhouse
again until it has been thoroughly ventilated.
 When you have finished spraying, follow the steps in section 8.5 "Draining and cleaning the solution
tank" to prepare the device for storage, thoroughly wash your face and hands with soap, take off your
work clothing and ensure that it is washed regularly.
Any unused pesticide that is left over in the device could cause corrosion and hence damage the
device. Special attention must be paid to wearing parts like nozzles, filters and seals.

1.4 Safe handling of the rechargeable battery and the charger

 The charger must only be connected to a mains supply with an operating voltage between 100V and
240V AC 50/60Hz. It must only be connected using the correct power cable - according to the country-
specific plugs.
- Check that the mains voltage is correct before connecting the device.
- Use the correct power cable - according to the country-specific plugs.
- The charger must not be connected to the mains supply in countries for which no correct power
cable - according to the country-specific plugs - is supplied together with the backpack sprayer or
in countries where the mains voltage differs from the operating voltage of the charger. In this
case you should contact a local dealer to enquire about options for connecting the charger to the
mains supply.
 Always hold the body of the plug when plugging it in and disconnecting it. Never pull it out by the
cable.
 The charger is only designed to recharge the rechargeable battery that is supplied by SOLO for this
backpack sprayer. Ensure that the battery is always correctly connected to the charger before
charging.
 Never connect the two terminals of the rechargeable battery (+ / -) with a conducting object (short
circuit).
 Keep the charger, the rechargeable battery and all of the electronics well away from splash water.
These areas should only be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Before cleaning, always
disconnect the power plug from the socket and the charging cable from the charging socket on the
device.

The rechargeable battery contains dangerous substances. Never open the battery or the charger.
 Only use the original charger to recharge the battery.
 The rechargeable battery and the charger must not be disposed of as normal domestic waste. Ensure
that you take them to an official disposal facility for electrical equipment.
