Refer to the enclosed handbooks for the use and maintenance of the pump and
pressure regulator and any accessories or motors.
b)
Please contact the agent in your zone, the nearest authorised workshop or
UNIGREEN S.p.A. directly for any repairs the user feels they aren’t capable of
performing alone. (see point 8.4)
c)
Due to the complexity of the equipment and the variety of technologies used
(mechanical, hydraulic, oil-pressure and electrotechnical) operators must not
dismantle or modify the equipment. All of the relevant operations must be
performed by specialised personnel, authorised by UNIGREEN S.p.A.
2.4.1 TAKING PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRE HAZARDS
Don’t use naked flames or heat sources near the machines.
The mistblowers are made with many materials that derive from petroleum: tanks,
tubes, pipes and hoses, wheels and plastic parts; furthermore the presence of oils
of various nature and residues of chemical products make them potentially
flammable.
2.5
WEATHER CONDITIONS
We recommend spraying in the early hours of the morning or late in the afternoon,
avoiding the hottest time of day.
Never do any spraying if it’s raining or rain is forecast.
Don’t spray in strong wind or in any case, in winds above 3/5 m/second.
If you have to spray in windy conditions, use relatively low pressures to obtain
quite large drops that are less sensitive to drifting (being heavier the wind has less
effect). There are also special anti-drift nozzles available from UNIGREEN S.p.A.;
for information, please contact our offices.
2.6
MACHINES DESIGNED TO BE USED ONLY WITH CLEAN WATER
There are versions of the machines designed only to be used with a hose reel for
washing with cold clean water.
These machines cannot be used with chemical products as they don’t have some of
the devices or accessories that are needed to use these products safely.
These machines are identified by the word “washing” on the CE plate.
2.7
DRIVING ON THE ROAD
The towed mistblowers are not specifically designed for road use. Nevertheless,
many models are also available in the version homologated for road traffic with the
tank empty.
You should check with your local reseller on the correct couplings to use and use
tractors that meet the regulations in force.

CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIFICATIONS
This handbook is valid for mounted and towed mistblowers with axial fans for
phytosanitary treatment in orchards and vineyards, in any case for arboreal
cultivation in rows of varying nature and type.
It is also valid for cannon mistblowers for the phytosanitary treatment of tall plants
and forest trees such as poplars or similar.
The axial mistblowers produce a mixed spray, breaking the drops with the
pressure and the speed of the air produced by the fan.
These mistblowers produced by UNIGREEN SPA are identified by the CE plate
(FIG. 2) bearing one of the marks indicated in the tables of the allowed fittings
(see the following paragraph).
3.1
TABLES OF FITTINGS ALLOWED
Table N° 18a let you identify the version of your machine indicating the basic
equipment and all the possible fittings available (optional).
You can also find the other fittings allowed or other versions to meet your
requirements in the future.
THE EQUIPMENT DEFINED IN THE TABLES OF THIS HANDBOOK (TAB: 18a,
page 31) SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BINDING FOR THE VALIDITY OF THE
DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY.
Other fittings or setups of basic components and/or optionals should be
considered unsafe and therefore are not covered by the guarantee and aren’t
UNIGREEN’s responsibility.
The same goes for fittings realised with components or accessories that aren’t
original UNIGREEN parts.
UNIGREEN accessories can easily be identified by the label with the yellow
background “ORIGINAL UNIGREEN ACCESSORY”
