4. OPERATION
This section describes the operation of an AU8000 sprayer with the knapsack mistblower
supplied by Micronair. If the sprayhead is used with a different mistblower, some operating
procedures may differ; refer to the mistblower manufacturer's instructions.
4.1. Operation of Standard Sprayer
1. Make up a mixture of 25 parts regular (NOT high octane) petrol (gasoline) and 1 part
(4%) two-stroke oil. Standard engine oil should NOT normally be used. If two-stroke
oil is not available, SAE 40/50 oil may be used for short periods.
See mistblower instruction book for full fuel mixing instructions.
2. Close the fuel valve under the fuel tank and pour fuel (as mixed in step 1) into tank.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
3. Ensure that the chemical control valve on the handle is closed with its lever parallel to
the sprayhead.
4. Remove the cap of the chemical tank and check that the flexible air hose inside is
pushed firmly onto the fitting at the bottom and into the filter at the top. Also check
that the cap at the opposite side of the inside of the tank is pushed firmly in place.
5. Pour the required amount of chemical into the tank and replace the cap firmly.
