Operation Manual

1 Safety regulations
ENGLISH 5
x Only use accessories and add-on parts that
have been supplied and specifically approved for
installation on the device by us.
x The quality of any spare parts used is also an
important factor in ensuring that your device is
reliable and safe to use. Always use genuine
SOLO replacement parts, as these are the only
parts that have been manufactured with the
same equipment and under the same conditions
as the parts originally fitted to the device. This
ensures the highest possible level of quality and
accuracy of fit – vital factors in ensuring the
safety, reliability and proper functioning of your
device. Genuine SOLO replacement parts and
accessories are available from your authorised
SOLO dealer. He also has access to the
necessary spare parts lists, from which the
required part numbers can be taken, and he will
also be kept up to date about any minor
improvements and changes to the range of parts
on offer.
Please note that the use of non-genuine
replacement parts will invalidate your warranty.
x When the device is not being used it should be
safely stored in a place where it will not
endanger the health and safety of others.
Prepare the device for storage according to
section 5.6. Ensure that the device is stored in a
safe place where unauthorised persons cannot
access it.
1.3 Safe handling of spraying agents
x Avoid contaminating the environment, the mains
water supply and/or public sewer systems with
spraying agent or cleaner!
Ensure to avoid contamination when mixing,
filling, using, draining, cleaning, servicing and
transporting by using adequate procedures and
suitable containers.
x Spraying agents and cleaners must never be
allowed to enter the mains water supply – not
even by back-suction when filling, public sewer
systems, sprayed onto wastelands, allowed to
drain into natural bodies of water or disposed of
together with normal domestic waste. This also
means that appropriate care must be taken
during filling to ensure that none of the spraying
agent is drawn back into water pipes. Spraying
agents and cleaners and any unused leftovers of
spraying agents and cleaners must always be
collected in a suitable container and disposed of
via approved facilities for household chemical
waste. Please contact your local authorities for
information about your nearest disposal facilities.
x Avoid any direct contact with spraying agents.
In case of contact with health hazardous spray-
ing agents, immediately rinse the affected body
parts with plenty of clean water, immediately
change the clothing soaked with spraying agents
and immediately seek medical advice.
x Never eat or drink when handling spraying
agents.
x Stop working immediately if you start to feel
unwell while working, or if you become unusually
tired. Seek medical advice if the condition
persists.
x Never allow children or anybody who is not
familiar with handling this type of spraying agent
to handle the spraying agent.
x Clean the spraying agent tank and all other
spraying agent carrying parts whenever the
spraying agent is changed. To flush out any
residue from the pump and the hose, run the
pressure sprayer with clean water after cleaning
the spraying agent tank and before the next
spraying agent is filled in. This will prevent the
risk of any chemical reactions taking place
between the different substances.
x Never spray in narrow or enclosed spaces –
spraying agents are toxic and there is a risk of
poisoning. Spraying equipment must for
example only be used in greenhouses if
adequate ventilation is provided. Signs must be
put up in greenhouses that have been treated.
Nobody should enter the greenhouse again until
it has been thoroughly ventilated.
x When you have finished spraying, prepare the
device for storage according to section 5.6,
thoroughly wash your face and hands with soap,
take off your work clothing and ensure that it is
washed regularly.
Any unused spraying agent that is left over in the
device could cause corrosion and hence
damage the device. Special attention must be
paid to wearing parts like spray nozzles, filters
and seals.
1.4 Transportation of the device
x To prevent damage and to eliminate potential
hazards for other road users, use secure lashing
equipment to secure the device and prevent it
from tipping over and falling when transporting it
on a vehicle.
x Take appropriate measures to ensure that the
spraying agent cannot leak or spill. Check the
spraying agent tank and all hoses and pipes that
carry the spraying agent for leaks.
Before transporting the device you should ideally
prepare the device for transportation according
to section 5.6.
