Intended usage:

Weed control in areas of specialised cultivation such as nurseries, orchards and vineyards, ornamental plant and
vegetable gardens, as well as agricultural, forestry, communal and non-cultivated lands.

Before application, carefully read the usage instructions for the applicator unit and pesticides.
Observe safety instructions.
For questions regarding pesticides, consult the manufacturer!
Observe the requirements and regional regulations for the use of herbicides.

Noise emission from the unit equates to less than 70 dB (A).
Protective measures

Observe the remarks in the pesticide usage instructions
regarding user safety and wear recommended body
protection. Wear protective gloves when filling the chemical
substance.
Do not eat, smoke or drink while working with pesticides.
Avoid chemical spillage without fail. Thoroughly clean hands
and face after completion of work.
Thoroughly clean and dry the unit immediately following its
usage. Never use the mouth to blow out nozzles or other
small parts!

Keep pesticide applicators and chemical substances away from children.
Assembly and preparation for initial application

Unit assembly is described for the individual models.
Prior to initial deployment of the applicator unit, charge the battery for at least 16 hours.
Attention! Follow the sequence without fail:

1. Depress the switch in the powerpack; the lamp illuminates.

2. Insert the plug jack into the charger socket.

3. Insert the charging unit into the 110-230 volt power outlet.
The battery has reached its full voltage capacity after approx. 16 hours charging time. When the charging process is

complete, first unplug the charging unit from the 230 volt power outlet, and then remove the applicator unit plug from the
charger socket.

Spray duration when operating one segmental atomiser
with one 6 V-7 Ah battery approx. 16 hours

Spray duration when operating two segmental atomisers
with one 6 V-7 Ah battery approx. 8 hours

A powerpack with two batteries can be installed in order to double the unit's operating duration.
Art. No.:

100467

It must be noted that, with this powerpack option, the required charging time will also double.
The spray width should subsequently be checked - ideally with a piece of cardboard laid out on the ground - and the flow rate

adjusted (see below for details).
The battery should be recharged immediately after using the applicator unit.

General remarks regarding applicator unit function and deployment
Pesticides: This applicator unit was originally designed for the undiluted application of Roundup products (Glyphosate).

Practical experience has shown, however, that other herbicides can also be deployed in conjunction with this technology.
Considering the many products on the market with their differing formulations, it is not possible to provide a complete list with
application rate recommendations. Specifications for adjusting the unit listed on the following pages relate to the usage of
Roundup UltraMax (Glyphosate 450 gr/ltr). In general, all products with a comparable viscosity are suitable. If it is intended to
use a product other than Roundup UltraMax, its application should be first tested over a small area on a trial basis. Usage
instructions for the chosen herbicide should be observed in every case, along with local requirements.

Applicator unit function: Segmental atomisers are driven by means of a rechargeable battery. Metering on all the units
mentioned is path-dependent and takes place by means of a wheel driven pump. Droplets are formed by the centrifugal force
of the rotating atomiser. The droplets are discharged downwards by the segmental atomiser through a continuously variable,
adjustable segment. Residual chemical in the tank not intended for application is approx. 50 ml. This residual fluid can be
refilled back into the original herbicide container.

Checking applicator unit function: Chemical solutions may flow quicker or slower due to temperature fluctuations, for which
reason the flow rates in the metering table should be checked and corrected as necessary. This system is not suitable for the
application of water. Please use herbicides at all times for testing the spray process and calibrating the flow rate. Check the
rotating atomiser on a daily basis for cleanliness and free turning motion. Check the output volume from time to time
throughout the season.

Deployment of the applicator unit: Adjust the height of the spray hood in such a manner that it is as close to the ground as
possible - if it is set too high, the risk of spray driftage exists. During operation, chemical fluid will collect in the segmental
atomiser reservoir and will continue to drip for approx. 30 seconds after the shut-off valve has been closed if the unit is tilted.
In order to avoid damage to cultivated plants due to dripping, we recommend closing the shut-off valve at the end of a row, for
example, then folding the spray hood upwards and waiting approx. 30 seconds until the reservoir has emptied.

Spray width

• Place an underlay (cardboard or paper) on the ground and prop up the unit on stands.

• Actuate the switch button on the powerpack while simultaneously turning the wheel and appraising the spray width

obtained, initially at one location. The spray width must be set in such a manner that the droplets are discharged over the
entire width of the spray hood. The optimal spray width under standard operating conditions is set by the manufacturer.

• Compensate for deviations is possible by loosening screw (F) and sliding the width adjustment on the atomiser
(see drawing).

• Further details regarding operating width adjustment can be found on the respective pages for the individual applicator
units.

Cleaning

Do not clean the applicator unit with a high-pressure sprayer or with an intense water jet spray.
Cleaning during the season: During short work breaks (a few hours), herbicide can remain

in the system as long as the shut-off valve remains closed. After work completion: before
cleaning, refill the chemical solution into its original container. Open the shut-off and set the
metering pump to maximum. Fill the chemical tank halfway with water, then, with the unit
positioned, turn the wheel smoothly 50 x and allow the fluid to drain into a collector tank or,
operating the unit for approx. 100 m, apply the cleaning fluid to the already treated surface.
Remove any remaining water from the tank and turn the wheel 50 x once again until the
system is completely empty.

Cleaning at the end of the season: Rinse the unit with warm water as described above. Additionally: Unscrew filter and
clean screen as necessary. The spray hood and the atomiser housing can be cleaned with a moist cloth, except the atomiser
disc in order to avoid damage. With heavy contamination, the atomiser housing should be unscrewed to remove
contaminants and plant parts. Connect the unit to the charging device (see below).

Charging the applicator unit and care of the accumulator

The applicator unit is outfitted with an automatic charging device. Trickle charging is possible.
In order to recharge a completely empty battery up to full capacity, approx. 16 hours charging time is required.
The battery should be recharged immediately after usage.

Battery charging Minimum charging time Time interval

Fully discharged 16 hrs. immediately
Short-term usage 6 hrs. immediately
Storage without usage ( 2 hrs. 1 x per month ) or permanent charge

With a fully loaded battery, units with one atomiser can be deployed for 16 hours, while units with 2 atomisers can be
deployed for approx. 8 hours.

GUARANTEE
I. If the purchase is a commercial transaction for both sides, the Customer must examine the goods

immediately on receipt, as far as this is possible during the regular course of business and if there
is a defect, inform the Vendor immediately.

II. If the Customer does not make a complaint, the goods are considered approved, unless there is a

defect, which was not visible during the examination. Furthermore §§ 377 ff. HGB applies.

III. The Vendor may choose to eliminate the defects or deliver an item free of defects, (rectification of

defects). If the rectification of defects fails, the Customer has the right to choose to either demand
a reduction in price or to withdraw from the contract.

IV. Further claims from the Customer, in particular due to consequential damage caused by a defect

are in principle disqualified. This does not apply in cases of intent, gross negligence or breaches
of contract by the Vendor as well as in cases of injury to life, body or health. The right of the
Customer to withdraw from the contract remains unaffected.

V. Warranty claims lapse after 24 months, respectively after 12 months in case of commercial use of

the goods. The limitation period begins at delivery. The guarantee expires, if the delivered goods
change or are handled incorrectly.

VI. The Vendor is not responsible for material defects on deliveries, which he sources from third

parties and forwards unchanged to the Customer. Responsibility in the case of intent or
negligence remains unaffected. The preceding regulations do not imply a change to the burden of
proof to the disadvantage of the Customer.

VII. Claims for defects do not only exist in cases of negligible deviations from the agreed properties

and conditions or only in negligible impairment of usefulness.

VIII. Necessary expenses for the purpose of the rectifying defects are to be paid by the Customer, if

they increase due to delivery to a different place than the place of business of the Customer,
unless the transport corresponds to its intended use.
