Adjusting The Carrying Straps; Using The Device For The First Time Ever Or After It Has Been Out Of Use For A Long Time - Solo 416 Notice Originale

5.3 Adjusting the carrying straps

Clip the carrying straps into the clips (6) on both
sides and lift the backpack across your shoulders.
Use the sliding clips, adjust the shoulder straps to
the right length.
Pull the loose ends of the carrying straps to tighten
them.
Lift up the two sliding clips again to release the
straps.
When adjusting the straps, ensure that the back
panel fits snugly and securely against the back of
the person wearing the backpack.
Preparing the equipment for use
Fit the bottom strap around the midriff of the
wearer and close the clip, again using the sliding
clips to adjust the length of the straps as required.
5.4 Using the device for the first time ever or
after it has been out of use for a long time
Before using the backpack sprayer for the first time
with pesticide, or if it has not been used with
pesticide for a long period of time, first perform a
trial run of the equipment with water to check that
everything is working properly and that there are
no leaks.
Ensure that you follow all safety instructions –
even during the trial run.
Trial run:
After performing a visual inspection of the device,
fill the solution tank with approximately 5 litres of
water – the drain valve (18) must be closed (the
lever should be set at right angles to the hose).
Check all components for leaks.
Check the following components to ensure that
they work properly: pump toggle switch (12), hand
lever (8), pressure gauge (9) (depending on the
version).
Tip: During the trial run, try spraying some water
with both pressure settings to get a feel for
using the backpack sprayer.
Never start working if there are any irregularities, if
you can see any damage to the equipment
(including the support frame) or if the equipment is
not working properly in any way. In this event, have
your device checked by a specialist workshop.
