9. Prior to first use and after extended
storage periods
Prior to using the engine driven high pressure
sprayer for the first time and after extended
storage periods we recommend that you check the
correct operation of the complete machine. Also
check all parts and hoses which carry fuel and
chemical liquid for any leakage. This should be
done before you mix the chemical solution. After
reading the manual thoroughly test the machine as
described in the following paragraph.
Observe all safety instructions while testing
the machine.
Test run:
Fill the liquid tank with approx. 5 litres of water
after carrying out a successful visual check of the
machine. Fill the fuel tank with the correct fuel
mixture as described in section 8 "Fuelling " and
start the high pressure sprayer as described in
section 11 "Starting engine / Stopping engine" for
a test run. Check all parts and hoses which carry
fuel or chemical liquid for leakage. Check the
efficient operation of the throttle lever (8), the
operating handle (15), pressure gauge (16) and
the stop button (9)
Hint: To get a feel for the machine and to gain
confidence in the high pressure sprayer we
suggest you carry out several spray trials
with water only at various pressure settings.
Note: The pressure gauge will only provide a
pressure reading when the operating
handle is in open position during the
spraying process.
If irregularities, leakages, visual damage (even on
the carrying frame), limited function or incorrect
adjustments are detected, do not start any spray
operations but have the high pressure sprayer
checked by a specialized service centre.
10. Preparation of spray chemicals, filling
of liquid container
Always observe all safety instructions and safety
precautions when handling spray chemicals. Refer
to the safety instructions provided in this manual,
especially section 2.3 "Safe handling of spray
chemicals" and the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer
Additional basic rules for filling liquid
containers
The liquid tank of the high pressure sprayer has a
maximum fill capacity of 20 litres. The back of the
container is marked (22) to indicate the volume of
liquid in the tank. Do not fill correctly mixed spray
chemicals above the upper marking (23) or the
lower edge of the inlet filter (23).
The inlet filter (23) has a mesh size of 0.65 mm.
The filter has to be used for the filling process.
Check the filter prior to us. If the filter is damaged,
replace it with the original replacement part, part
number 06 10 03 926 006.
To fill and refill the spray tank stop the engine, take
off the sprayer and place it on a suitable cover
sheet on the ground.
Avoid contamination of water systems and
drainage / rain water systems. Chemical spillages
should be cleaned up immediately.
Before filling the tank ensure the trigger handle is
closed and the tank drainage cap (13) is tightened
firmly. Never prepare and mix spray chemicals in
the chemical tank of the machine.
After filling the chemical tank with the required
spray volume replace the tank lid and tighten firmly
to prevent chemical leakage
