12. Operation 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.
12.1 Spraying
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 momentarily into
position "2" (spot spraying).
The correct output is obtained according to
dosage-sleeve setting
When spraying predominantly upwards (tall trees)
we recommend using the liquid pump offered as

*) 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.

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.
