ENGLISH 3
5.4 Operating Hints
While running, the engine produces toxic exhaust gas which is odourless and
invisible. Never start or operate the machine in closed rooms. Ensure for
adequate ventilation in confined areas such as ditches or dips.
No other persons should be present within a circle of 15 meters from the
operator. Keep persons and animals away from areas in which you are working.
Never spray in the direction of
other persons, animals or objects that could be damaged as a result. Bear in
mind that the liquid emerges at high speed from the spray tube. Objects could
be kicked up as a result, and this could in some cases represent a risk. The
user is responsible for any hazards or accidents involving other persons
and/or their property. Never operate on unstable ground. Watch out for any
obstacles such as tree stumps, tree roots, ditches, etc. Take special care
while working along slopes. Never touch a hot exhaust.
5.5 Irregularities, incidents, accidents
In case of irregularities, leaks, visible damage or reduced efficiency, do not
commence work, but leave the unit from a dealer check.
When irregularity, leaks or malfunctions occur during operation, turn off the
stop switch immediately and put the machine on the ground immediately. The
device may only be used again if it is checked by a specialist workshop and
the cause of the fault has been eradicated.
In case of serious disturbances or accidents during operation of the unit as
smoke, strong odors from the device or the device is in flames instantly
remove the unit from your body and take a safe distance. In case of fire, you
have to call the fire department immediately.
5.6 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 13.5 / section 13.6, 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.

Fuel may contain solvent-like substances. Avoid skin and eye contact with
mineral products. Wear gloves while refueling. Frequently change and clean
protective clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors.
Do not spill fuel or oil. In case of spillage, immediately wipe off
mistblower. Do not allow fuel mix to contact clothing. If fuel mix is spilled
on clothing, change clothing immediately.
Ensure fuel or oil do not contaminate soil (environmental protection). Always
use a suitable protective soil cover.
Do not re-fuel in unventilated rooms. Fuel vapors collect at ground level
(danger of explosion).
Transport and store fuel and oil only in approved and clearly marked
containers. Children should have no access to fuel or oil.
Ensure you do not inhale exhaust fumes while
using the machine. The use of the motorized mistblower is prohibited in closed
rooms.
The handling of fuel requires caution and consideration. It is imperative that
all safety instructions are observed! Only refuel when the engine has been
stopped!
Clean the area around filler inlet before refueling.
Remove tank lid and fill fuel mix up to the lower edge of the filler neck. Do
not overfill. If possible, always use a fuel funnel with filter.
Fill in card fully to avoid spilling of fuel or oil. Replace and secure fuel
tank lid.
10. Filling
When handling the spraying agents, always follow the safety instructions of
these operating instructions (pay special attention to section 5.6) and the
information provided by the manufacturer of the particular spraying agent.
Spraying agent volume: Mix the spraying agents according to the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the spraying agent. Choose the appropriate
volume according to requirements.
Mixing spraying agents: Only mix spraying agents out in the open. Never do
this inside living spaces, stables or in storage spaces that are used for food
or animal feed. Never mix the spraying agent directly in the spraying agent
tank.
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 0.5 mm. Only use original SOLO strainers, part no.: 15137 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 top marking
(maximum fill volume).
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.
ENGLISH 6
Fig. 10 Identification of the tank contents: Attach the relevant sticker to
the spraying agent tank to indicate the contents of the tank (i.e., herbicide,
fungicide or insecticide).
The designation of the spraying agent used has to be attached to the device
and has to be updated every time when the spraying agent is changed.
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.
Never use aggressive, acid- or solvent-containing cleaning agents (gasoline
for example).
11. 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.
Starting with cold engine
Switch ignition switch to “I” position and close liquid tap.
Fig. 11
Close choke with choke lever (10).
Press primer (11) several times until fuel is visible in the primer.
Hold the device down with your left hand. Place a foot on the base
additionally if necessary. With the right hand, slowly pull out the starter
handle (7) until resistance is felt. Then pull quickly and forcibly until the
engine attempts to start (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 Release throttle lever. 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. When using the equipment as a mister and as blower,
remove the pump for that reason.
ENGLISH 7
12.2 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 (18):
Fig. 12 When spraying plants and trees we recommend fixing the wide-range
nozzle (18) onto the red standard nozzle (15). This ensures that a large area
can be sprayed at one time. Push the widerange nozzle onto the standard
nozzle, until the bead engages.
In narrow spaces and for aftercare, we recommend placing the wide-angle grille
(18a) onto the wide-range nozzle (18). This ensures that the spray velocity is
reduced and the spray is applied more widespread, to prevent damage to leaves.
12.3 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.
ENGLISH 8
13. Maintenance and care
Any cleaning, maintenance or repair jobs should only be performed when the
engine is stopped and with removed spark plug cap. The exception, of course,
is carburetor tuning.
Any service jobs, other than those described in this manual, should only be
carried out by an authorized service center. Only original parts may be used
for any maintenance and service work.
Never modify your motorized mistblower your personal safety is at risk.
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.
13.1 Air 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.
Before opening the air filter housing, close the choke to prevent dirt
entering the carburettor.
Fig. 13 To open the air filter housing press in the black clamp and open the
housing cover downwards.
Fig. 14 Remove foam filter. When the machine is used all day, the air filter
should be cleaned daily. In severe dust conditions clean more often in
between. For daily cleaning: Tap the air filter against an object or use an
air gun.
With heavy dust conditions and for normal weekly check: 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.
13.2 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.
Fig. 15 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.
Only qualified mechanics must adjust the regulating screws for idle mixture
“L” and full load mixture “H”.
13.3 Spark Plug
The correct spark plug with thermal range 200 is available under the following brands:
BOSCH
WSR6F
CHAMPION RCJ-6Y
NGK
BPMR7A
The correct electrode gap is 0.5 mm.
Check the plug after every 50 operating hours and replace if electrodes are worn.
ENGLISH 9
13.4 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).
13.6 Shutdown and storage
Clean the power tool after use.
Never use aggressive cleaning solutions or those containing solvents to clean
any part of the engine. Never hose down the engine. For best results, simply
wipe down the entire engine with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Store the device in a dry, safe location inside a building (garage, basement,
…). There must not be any open fires or similar nearby. Ensure that the device
cannot be used by unauthorised persons, especially children.
If not in use for more than four weeks, drain the fuel tank in a well
ventilated location before storing. Start the engine with an empty fuel tank
and drain the carburettor until the engine stops. Oil residues from the fuel
mixture could otherwise clog the carburettor jets and make it difficult to
start the device later.
13.5 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.
Fig. 16 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.
Fig. 17 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.
