
4.6 Safe handling of spraying agents
Avoid contaminating the environment, the mains water supply and/or public sewer systems with
spraying agent or cleaner!
Ensure to avoid contamination when mixing, filling, using, draining, cleaning, servicing and transporting
by using adequate procedures and suitable containers.
Spraying agents and cleaners must never be allowed to enter the mains water supply – not even by
back-suction when filling, 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 spraying agent is drawn back into water
pipes. Spraying agents and cleaners and any unused leftovers of spraying agents and cleaners 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 spraying agents. In case of contact with harmful pesticides rinse the
affected body parts immediately with plenty of water, any clothing soaked with spraying agents should
be changed immediately, seek medical advice if needed.
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 spraying agent tank and all other spraying agent carrying parts whenever the spraying agent
is changed. To flush out any residue from the agent tank and the hose, run the device with clean water
after cleaning the spraying agent tank and before the next spraying agent is filled in. This will prevent
the risk of any chemical reactions taking place between the different substances.
Never use the device in narrow or enclosed spaces – spraying agents 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 working, prepare the device for storage according to section 12.4, thoroughly
wash your face and hands with soap, take off your work clothing and ensure that it is washed regularly.
Any unused spraying agent that is left over in the device could cause corrosion and hence damage the
device. Special attention must be paid to wearing parts like hoses, filters and seals.
4.7 Protection of Environment
Be aware of your surroundings!
Watch out for persons and animals which may be within your work area
Be aware that noise is harmful to the environment. Inquire about and respect possible local rest
periods.
Avoid contaminating the environment, the mains water supply and/or public sewer systems with
spraying agent, cleaner, fuel and oil! Ensure to avoid contamination when mixing, filling, using,
draining, mixing and filling-in the fuel mixture, cleaning, servicing and transporting by using adequate
procedures and suitable containers.
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.

Filling ; Starting / Stopping the engine
ENGLISH 9
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.: 13279 with
standard mesh size.
Avoid any direct contact of the filling hose and the
contents of the spraying agent tank.
Fill level markings are applied to the backside of
the spraying agent tank .
When filling up the tank, ensure that you do not fill
above the nominal formula (maximum fill volume
Type 452-01 10l, Type 452-02 13 l).
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.
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.: 49600).
Never use aggressive, acid- or solvent-containing
cleaning agents (gasoline for example).
10. Starting / Stopping the engine
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.
Switch ignition switch to ”I” position and close
liquid tap. Reset the throttle lever completely.
Starting with cold engine
Close choke with choke lever (10).
Press primer (11) several times until fuel is
visible in the primer.
Place your left hand on the formula tank (Fig. 1
Pos. 1) of the mistblower. Hold the starter handle
(Fig. 1.Pos. 7) with your right hand and pull the
handle up slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull
up firmly and rapidly until the engine ‘fires’.
If the engine "tries" to start (ignite), set the
choke in the middle position (partially open)
and if necessary repeat the starting procedure. In
very cold ambient temperature, let the engine with
the choke in the middle position (partially open)
warm up briefly.
As soon as the engine runs smoothly, set
the choke in the open position.
Starting with warm engine after short stop
Start the engine with choke in open position.
Shutting off engine
Reset the throttle lever completely.
After full load running bring the engine to idle for
20sec to cool down.
Move ignition switch to ”Stop” position.

Note: The liquid pump attachment comprises a
special metering body, which should be installed
when using a liquid pump.
Please note: When using a liquid pump,
ensure that the tank contains sufficient
liquid. The liquid pump can sustain severe
damage, if it is permitted to run dry.
11.2 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.
Ensure that you only wet what is in fact intended
to be covered with spraying agents.
Never spray the agent towards persons,
animals, open windows or doors, cars or
anything else that could be damaged by the
spraying agent.
Spraying:
Approach the target object with the engine at idling
speed. Accelerate to full engine speed, then open
formula on-off tap.
Wide-range nozzle (7):
When spraying plants and trees we recommend
fixing the wide-range nozzle (7) onto the red
standard nozzle (4). This ensures that a large area
can be sprayed at one time. Push the wide-range
nozzle onto the standard nozzle, until the bead
engages.
Fig. 7
Fig. 8
Fig. 9

Operation hints
ENGLISH 11
In narrow spaces and for aftercare, we
recommend placing the wide-angle grille (7a) onto
the wide-range nozzle. This ensures that the spray
velocity is reduced and the spray is applied more
widespread, to prevent damage to leaves.
11.3 Residual spray medium
Switch off the appliance as soon as no further
liquid is expelled, when the metering body is
correctly positioned for spraying, or air bubbles are
visible inside the lance supply hose.
The tank will then contain less than 100 ml
residual medium.
If you don’t want to refill the tank with spray
medium and you want to terminate spraying, dilute
the residual medium with 2 l of water. Dispose of
this solution on the treated area.
11.4 Checking the spray medium flow rate
At the beginning of the spraying season, check
whether the equipment flow rate (l/min) still
corresponds to the „Guide values“ table (see also
item „Maintenance schedule“).
For this, fill the equipment up to the maximum
marker with water, start using the equipment and
spray for one minute exactly at maximum
operating pressure. Then measure the water
volume required to bring the water level back up to
the maximum marker.
The actual volume measured represents the flow
rate of the equipment in l/min at maximum
operating pressure.
It should not deviate by more than 10 % from
those listed in the „Guide values“ table. Should the
actual value be too low, sediments inside the
metering body may be the cause. Clean the
corresponding parts and repeat the checking
procedure.
Should the actual value be too high, the metering
body may be worn or damaged. In that case,
replace the metering body with a new one (part
no.:13008).
11.5 Draining and cleaning the tank
For cleaning purposes, the tank can be fully
drained into a suitable container via the supply
hose.
For this, the engine must be cooled down.
Position the equipment onto a stable higher
support, so that the spray medium can drain into a
suitable container below.
Above the container, pull the supply hose from the
shut-off valve.
If required, tip the equipment slightly to drain the
tank completely.
Ensure that the spray medium does not run over
the equipment (especially the engine), but drains
directly into the suitable container.
Dispose of residual spray medium correctly at
disposal sites licensed for specialised waste.
Empty the spray medium tank daily after work and
flush thoroughly with water.
Observe cleaning instructions supplied with the
herbicide/fungicide.
After cleaning, let the spray medium container dry
in an open state.
Occasionally clean the strainer inside the filler
neck, the strainer in the accessory set and all parts
in contact with the medium, with water and a soft
brush.

Never service or store the machine near an open
flame.
Regularly check the fuel tank lid for sealing and
tank ventilation. Only use recommended spark
plugs. Check ignition cable for any damage.
After a running in period of approx. 5 hours, all
accessible screws and nuts (except for carburetor
mixture adjustment needles) have to be checked
and re-tightened if required.
Never operate a motorized mistblower with a
damaged muffler or without muffler (fire risk and
risk of damage to hearing). Do not touch hot
muffler.
12.1 Spark Plug
The correct spark plug with thermal range 200 is
available under the following brands:
BOSCH WSR6F
The correct electrode gap is 0.5mm.
Caution: Check the plug after every 50
operating hours and replace if electrodes
are worn.
12.2 Filter Maintenance
The air filter separates and retains dirt before the
air reaches the combustion chamber. This reduces
engine wear.
Regular maintenance increases engine life.
Clogged air filters cause performance loss and
increased fuel consumption. This leads to a higher
toxin level in the exhaust gas and also makes
starting more difficult.
For daily cleaning:
Tap the air filter against an object or use an air
gun.
With heavy dust conditions and for normal weekly
check:
thoroughly clean the filter and replace filter if
damaged.
Cleaning of air filter
Before opening the air filter housing, close
the choke to prevent dirt entering the
carburettor.
To open the air filter housing press in the black
clamp and open the housing cover downwards.
Remove foam filter.
When the machine is used all day, the air filter
should be cleaned daily. In severe dust conditions
clean more often.
Wash a heavily soiled filter in non-flammable
cleaning solvents (warm soapy water).
Wipe the air cleaner housing clean with a dry or
slightly damp cloth. Before inserting the filter, the
housing and the filter must be completely dry
again.
Never insert moist or wet foam filters!
Immediately replace damaged filter parts.
When re-fitting, ensure the filter is positioned and
seated properly.
If the filter material is damaged, replace the
corresponding parts immediately.
Warranty claims cannot be accepted for damaged
engine parts caused by improper care and
maintenance.

Maintenance and care
ENGLISH 13
12.3 Carburettor adjustment
The carburettor has been adjusted optimally at the
factory. Subject to the operational altitude
(mountains or low lying areas), the carburettor
may require readjustment.
The carburettor has 3 adjusting screws:
Idling end-stop screw "T"
Low speed mixture screw "L"
High speed mixture screw "H"
Only qualified mechanics must adjust the
regulating screws for idle mixture "L" and
full load mixture "H".
Turn the idling end-stop screw "T" to adjust the
idling speed in accordance with the details
provided in the specification. Use an engine rev
counter for this job.
If the idling speed is too high, turn the idling
end-stop screw "T" anti-clockwise.
If the idling speed is too low (engine stops)
turn the idling end-stop screw "T" clockwise
until the engine runs smoothly.
If the idling speed cannot be set correctly with the
idling end-stop screw "T", request an authorised
service centre to tune the carburettor.
12.4 Storage Hints / Transport Hints
If the unit is to be laid up or kept idle for any length
of time, proceed as follows:
a) Rinse and clean thoroughly. Never use formula
container of your mist blower for storing
chemicals.
b) Run the engine with the fuel tank empty until
the carburettor is empty and the engine stops.
Otherwise gasoline evaporates, and the
remaining lubricant would clog the carburetor
ducts.
c) Remove spark plug and squirt an ounce or two
of corrosion inhibitor (LPS, WD-40 etc.) or plain
engine oil into the cylinder. Crank engine
several times to spread the agent, and then
reinsert spark plug.
d) Please store your machine away from sunlight,
order to protect of the materials against
influence of ultraviolet radiations.
e) Before putting the unit back into service,
remove and clean spark plug; crank engine a
few times with plug removed.
For transport in a vehicle, ensure the
mistblower is well secured to avoid fuel
spillage.
Completely empty the fuel tank before extended
storage or shipment.
