Misting Output Guide (Fig.7) Adjustment of carrying strap
Place the machine on the operators back and
click both strap connectors to the frame.
The straps can be adjusted to the required
length with friction slides.
Note: The shoulder straps are correctly adjus-
ted when the back plate of the mistblower
rests firmly against the back of the operator.
Operating Hints
• Before every use and before every start of
the mistblower check and ensure the machi-
ne 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.
Spraying (Fig. 6)
To open on tap: Move lever upwards into
position "I".
To shut off tap: Move lever into horizontal
position "O". When shutting tap, move lever
slowly against spring tension to position "0".
Do not let the lever flick back.
Note: For spot spraying (treatment of single
plants or smaller area), push the lever momen-
tarily into position "2" (spotspraying). The
correct output is obtained according to dosa-
ge-sleeve setting
For area treatment or misting trees we re-
commend the use of the wide angle nozzle
(fig.8a) on top of the standard nozzle (fig.8b).
This will increase the spray distance with
more even droplet size. The wide angle nozzle
is pushed over the standard nozzle until it
clicks over the retaining lip on the standard
nozzle.
For the treatment of row crops (vines, to-
matoes, tree nurseries), the deflector screen
(Fig.8d) should be used. This will ensure good
coverage on the underside of leaves.
The deflector screen can be replaced with
the double screen (Fig.8e). This screen pro-
duces a divided spray stream at an angle of
approx. 90deg.-110deg. and is mainly used for
spraying both sides of a row. Both deflector
screen as well as double screen are pushed
over the end of the cap nozzle (Fig. 8c).
The cap nozzle (Fig.8c), complete with the
required screen is fitted to the end of the
standard nozzle.
For narrow crops and for repeat applications,
the use of the diffuser screen (Fig.8f) toge-
ther with the wide angle nozzle (Fig.8a) is
recommended. The diffuser screen softens the
impact of air blast and reduces the damage to
leaves and tender shoots.
