MANKAR Roll
For the undiluted application of Roundup
®
products (Glyphosate)
The information on this page applies to all MANKAR Roll units. Details regarding assembly, use and replacement parts are
provided on the following pages:
MANKAR-ONE: Pages 4, 6-9
MANKAR-TWO: Pages 5-9
Intended usage:
Weed control in areas of specialised cultivation such as nurseries, orchards and vineyards, ornamental plant and
vegetable gardens, as well as agricultural, forestry, communal and non-cultivated lands.
Before application, carefully read the usage instructions for the applicator unit and pesticides.
Observe safety instructions.
For questions regarding pesticides, consult the manufacturer.
Observe the requirements and regional regulations for the use of herbicides. Permission is required from the
responsible authorities (e.g. environmental conservation agency) for the application of herbicides on surfaces used
for non-agricultural, forestry or gardening purposes (“non-cultivated lands”). Application is not permitted on sealed
surfaces (e.g. pavement surfaces) with connection to sewage water systems from which the danger of run-off exists!
Application may only be carried out by a competent user.
Noise emission from the unit equates to less than 70 dB (A).
Precautions
Observe the information in the pesticide usage instructions
regarding user safety, and wear recommended body
protection. Wear protective gloves when handling the
chemical solution.
Do not eat, smoke or drink while working with pesticides.
Avoid any kind of chemical spillage. Thoroughly wash hands
and face after completion of work.
Thoroughly clean and dry the unit immediately after use. Never
use the mouth to blow out atomiser or other small parts!
Keep pesticide applicators and chemical substances away from children.
Assembly and preparation for first use
Unit assembly is described for the individual models.
Before using the unit for the first time, charge the battery for at least 16 hours.
Attention! Always follow the sequence:
1. Insert the plug jack into the charger socket.
2. Plug the charging unit into a 230 V mains socket.
The battery has reached its full voltage capacity after approx. 16 hours' charging time. When the charging process is
complete, first unplug the charging unit from the 230 V socket and then remove the unit plug from the charger socket.
Spray duration when operating one rotating atomiser
with 1 battery, 6 V - 7 Ah
approx. 16 hours
Spray duration when operating two rotating atomisers
with 1 battery, 6 V - 7 Ah
approx. 8 hours
The spray width should subsequently be checked - ideally with a piece of cardboard laid out on the ground - and the flow rate
adjusted (see below for details).
The battery should be recharged immediately after using the applicator unit.
General information about the function and use of the unit
Pesticides:
This applicator unit was originally designed for the undiluted application of Roundup products (Glyphosate). Practical
experience has shown, however, that other herbicides can also be used in conjunction with this technology. Considering the
many products on the market with their differing formulas, it is not possible to provide a complete list with application rate
recommendations. The following information about unit settings relate to Roundup UltraMax (Glyphosate 450 g/L). In general, all
products with a comparable viscosity are suitable. If you want to use a product other than Roundup UltraMax, its application
should be first tested on a small area. Usage instructions for the chosen herbicide must always be observed, along with local
requirements.
