7. Operating Hints
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.
7.1 Adjustment of shoulder straps
Place the mistblower on the back and connect to quick
couplings (Fig.1, 12) on either side.
The straps can be adjusted to the required length with
friction slides. Simply pull down both strap ends to
tighten straps (a).
Strap tension can be released by lifting both friction
slides (b).
Note:
The shoulder straps are correctly adjusted when the
back plate of the mist-blower rests firmly against the
back of the operator.
7.2 Filling
• For filling the equipment, always use the strainer
inside the filler neck and observe the filler area
through the filling process.
• Prevent any direct contact between the external
filling hose and the tank contents.
• The spray medium must not be allowed to enter the
water mains through backlash.
• When filling with spray medium ensure, that neither
environment, nature nor the water mains ever make
contact with the spray medium.
• Prevent the tank from overflowing, the
contamination of public water, foul water and
drainage channels.
• The strainer has a mesh size of 0.55 mm. Only use
original SOLO strainers, part no.: 42 00 104 with
standard mesh size.

*) The delivery values when using a liquid pump
(accessories) apply to every position of the spray
wand.
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. When using the equipment as a mister and as
blower, remove the pump for that reason.
