Filling the spraying agent tank:
To fill the tank with spraying agent, remove the
pump by pushing the pump handle (3) down and
turning it to the left (counterclockwise) until it clicks
into position. Unscrew the pump by turning it
counterclockwise. Do not use any tools!
Avoid any direct contact of the filling hose and the
contents of the spraying agent tank.
Fill level markings are applied to the side of the
spraying agent tank (1).
When filling up the tank, ensure that you do not fill
above the top marking (maximum fill volume).
Maximum fill volume: Model 456: 5.0 l [1.32 gal]
Never allow the spraying agent tank to overflow or
public bodies of water, rainwater drains or sewage
drains to become contaminated.
Immediately wipe up any spilled spraying agent.
After filling, insert the pump again and refasten
firmly by turning the pump handle (3) clockwise to
prevent the spraying agent from escaping.
Refasten firmly until the pump handle clicks into
position.
CAUTION:
Never fill different spraying agents into the
spraying agent tank without first thoroughly
cleaning the tank and all parts that come into
contact with the spraying agent and flushing the
system with plenty of clean water.
Recommendation: Use the special SOLO cleaner
for plant protection sprayers (dosing bottle of
500 ml [approx. 16.9 oz], part no.: 49 00 600).
Never use aggressive, acid- or solvent-containing
cleaning agents (gasoline for example).

Identification of the tank
contents:
Attach the relevant
sticker to the spraying
agent tank to indicate the
contents of the tank (i.e.,
herbicide, fungicide or
insecticide).
The designation of the
spraying agent used has
to be attached to the
device and has to be
updated every time when
the spraying agent is
changed.

4 Using the pressure sprayer

Ensure that you follow all of the safety
instructions when using the pressure sprayer.
Every time you use the pressure sprayer, first
check it all over to ensure it is safe to use
according to section 5.8.

4.1 Spraying

x 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.
x Always proceed with the greatest care when
spraying.
x Never use the device under windy conditions or
if it is raining, as this would risk widespread
drifting of the spraying agent.
x Check the wind direction before starting work
and select the spraying direction downwind of
the user.
x It is best to perform spraying work in the morning
or evening, as it tends to be less windy then.
x Ensure that you only wet what is in fact intended
to be covered with spraying agents.
x Never spray the agent towards persons,
animals, open windows or doors, cars or
anything else that could be damaged by the
spraying agent.
x Use the spray nozzle suitable for your
application. Applicable nozzles: See section 10
x When spraying, ensure that the spraying agent
is applied evenly and homogeneously to the
treated area.
Pumping and spraying:
To pump, loosen the pump handle (3) by turning
out of the stop position. Pump the unit until the
operating pressure is reached in the spraying
agent tank. Excessive pressure escapes
automatically through the pressure relief valve (4).
Hold the spray tube at the shut-off valve in your
hand.
Start the spraying process by pressing the shut-off
valve (5).
