Adjustment of carrying strap

Place the machine on the operators back and click both strap connectors to the frame.

The straps can be adjusted to the required length with friction slides.

Note: The shoulder straps are correctly adjus- ted when the back plate of the mistblower rests firmly against the back of the operator.

Operating Hints

•Before every use and before every start of the mistblower check and ensure the machi- ne 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.

Spraying (Fig. 6)

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 momen- tarily into position "2" (spotspraying). The correct output is obtained according to dosa- ge-sleeve setting

For area treatment or misting trees we re- commend the use of the wide angle nozzle (fig.8a) on top of the standard nozzle (fig.8b). This will increase the spray distance with more even droplet size. The wide angle nozzle is pushed over the standard nozzle until it clicks over the retaining lip on the standard nozzle.

For the treatment of row crops (vines, to- matoes, tree nurseries), the deflector screen (Fig.8d) should be used. This will ensure good coverage on the underside of leaves.

The deflector screen can be replaced with the double screen (Fig.8e). This screen pro- duces a divided spray stream at an angle of approx. 90deg.-110deg. and is mainly used for spraying both sides of a row. Both deflector screen as well as double screen are pushed over the end of the cap nozzle (Fig. 8c).

The cap nozzle (Fig.8c), complete with the required screen is fitted to the end of the standard nozzle.

For narrow crops and for repeat applications, the use of the diffuser screen (Fig.8f) toge- ther with the wide angle nozzle (Fig.8a) is recommended. The diffuser screen softens the impact of air blast and reduces the damage to leaves and tender shoots.
