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.
Noise emission from the unit equates to less than 70 dB (A).
Protective measures
Observe the remarks in the pesticide usage instructions
regarding user safety and wear recommended body
protection. Wear protective gloves when filling the chemical
substance.
Do not eat, smoke or drink while working with pesticides.
Avoid chemical spillage without fail. Thoroughly clean hands
and face after completion of work.
Thoroughly clean and dry the unit immediately following its
usage. Never use the mouth to blow out nozzles or other
small parts!
Keep pesticide applicators and chemical substances away from children.
Assembly and preparation for initial application
Unit assembly is described for the individual models.
Prior to initial deployment of the applicator unit, charge the battery for at least 16 hours.
Attention! Follow the sequence without fail:
1. Depress the switch in the powerpack; the lamp illuminates.
2. Insert the plug jack into the charger socket.
3. Insert the charging unit into the 110-230 volt power outlet.
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 volt power outlet, and then remove the applicator unit plug from the
charger socket.
Spray duration when operating one segmental atomiser
with one 6 V-7 Ah battery approx. 16 hours
Spray duration when operating two segmental atomisers
with one 6 V-7 Ah battery approx. 8 hours
A powerpack with two batteries can be installed in order to double the unit's operating duration.
Art. No.:
100467
It must be noted that, with this powerpack option, the required charging time will also double.
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 remarks regarding applicator unit function and deployment
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 deployed in conjunction with this technology.
Considering the many products on the market with their differing formulations, it is not possible to provide a complete list with
application rate recommendations. Specifications for adjusting the unit listed on the following pages relate to the usage of
Roundup UltraMax (Glyphosate 450 gr/ltr). In general, all products with a comparable viscosity are suitable. If it is intended to
use a product other than Roundup UltraMax, its application should be first tested over a small area on a trial basis. Usage
instructions for the chosen herbicide should be observed in every case, along with local requirements.
