Transport Of The Pressure Sprayer; Residual Spraying Agents / Finishing Spraying; Maintenance, Cleaning And Storage; Trial Run - Solo 456 Manual Del Usario

Releasing the shut-off valve stops the spray
process.
The red clip can be used to secure the shut-off
valve in its rest position to prevent accidental
spraying. For this, pull the lever slightly away (a)
from the handle and lock the clip (b).
The spray tube (6) can be rotated in the shut-off
valve (5) – after loosening the threaded collar
(Fig. 2, pos. 9) – this is useful for spraying under
leaves.
If the spraying agent is not applied properly, spray
nozzle or filter element could be blocked or
damaged. If necessary, clean or replace the nozzle
and the filter element.
Cleaning: See section 5.6
Replacing the spray nozzle and the filter element:
See section 5.3

4.2 Transport of the pressure sprayer

The pressure sprayer can also be carried by the
pump handle (3), if the pump handle is pressed
down completely, and it is turned to the right and
clicked into position.
4.3 Residual spraying agents /
finishing spraying
Switch off the pump immediately when any air is
sucked in and sprayed out through the spray
nozzle. This is indicated by a mist being sprayed
from the nozzle. At this point the spraying agent
tank will still contain a residual amount of less than
200 ml [6.8 oz]. If you do not want to add more
spraying agent and wish to stop spraying instead,
dilute this leftover amount with two litres [68 oz] of
clean water and spray it on the treated area.
When you finish working, 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.

5.1 Trial run

At least at the start of every spraying season and in
frequent use at least once a month, perform a trial
run with clean water to check the following:
x Tightness of all equipment components at
maximum permissible pressure with open and
closed shut-off valve
x Function of all active components (pressure
relief valve, shut-off valve, pump handle,
pressure gauge (depending on the model))
x Dosing and distribution accuracy of all the
nozzles used by measuring the spraying agent
delivery rate according to section 5.2
Never start working if there are any irregularities or
leaks, if you can see any damage to the equipment
or if the equipment is not working properly in any
way. In this event, immediately depressurise the
device by pulling on the pressure relief valve
(Fig. 3) and have it checked by a specialist
workshop.
Before pulling on the pressure relief valve (4), the
device must always be in an upright position.
Attention: Keep the device away from your face!
5.2 Checking the spray nozzles and the filter
element by measuring the spraying agent
delivery rate
Fill up the tank with clean water to the maximum
marking, start it up and spray for exactly one
minute at an operating pressure of 1 bar.
Then measure the quantity of water required to
refill the tank to its maximum level. The value
measured corresponds to the delivery rate of the
device in l/min for the selected operating pressure.
This value must not deviate by more than 10 %
from the value indicated in section 10.
If the actual value is too low, this may be caused
by deposits in the spray nozzle and/or in the filter
element. Clean the parts and repeat the check.
If the actual value is too high, this may be due to
wear or damage to the spray nozzle.
When checking the nozzles, also check whether
the spray nozzle is producing an even, fan-shaped
spray pattern.
If the delivery rate is still too low after cleaning the
nozzle and the filter element, or if the nozzle and/or
the filter element are worn or damaged, replace the
nozzle and/or the filter element by genuine SOLO
replacement parts.
Changing the spray nozzle and the filter element:
See section 5.3
