through these operating instructions
before using the device for the first time and keep
them in a safe place thereafter.
Always take great care when using the device.
You can put your life at risk by failing to follow the
safety instructions.
It is also important to follow any relevant health and
safety regulations that apply to your place of work.
Anyone who fails to follow the safety instructions,
operating instructions or maintenance instructions
will make themselves liable for any damage and
consequential damage caused as a result.
The operating instructions must be kept available
at all times wherever the device is used or stored.

Persons under the age of 18 are only permitted
to use this plant protection device under
supervision.
Keep persons and animals away from areas in
which you are working. Never spray in the
direction of other persons, animals or objects
that could be damaged as a result. Bear in mind
that the liquid emerges at high speed from the
spray nozzle. Objects could be kicked up as a
result, and this could in some cases represent a
risk. The user is responsible for any hazards or
accidents involving other persons and/or their
property.
This equipment must only be hired out, lent or
passed on to persons who are familiar with this
type of equipment and its operation and who
have read the operating instructions. Always

and healthy when using this device.
Do not use this device, if you are tired or sick.
Never use this device under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medication that could impair
your reaction speed.
Never alter, change or modify any safety
equipment or operating controls.
Never use the device if any part of it is unsafe or
if it is not in an overall condition that makes it
safe to use. Before using the device always
check whether it is safe to use according to
section 10.
Immediately replace damaged parts. Only use
genuine SOLO replacement parts.
Only use accessories and add-on parts that
have been supplied and specifically approved for
installation on the device by us.
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.
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 9.8.
Ensure that the device is stored in a safe place
where unauthorised persons cannot access it.
3.3 Work clothing /
personal protection equipment (PPE)
Always wear suitable protective clothing in
accordance with the relevant regulations. The
clothing must protect all parts of your body against
contact with spraying agents and against objects
that are kicked up – i.e., protective gloves, face
protection (e.g., protective goggles), protective
footwear, body protection (e.g., rubber apron), if
required breathing protection.
Clothing should be appropriate – i.e., tight-fitting,
but not obstructive.
Wear protective shoes with good grip, preferably
safety shoes.
Wear protective gloves with non-slip
palms.
Wear face protection (e.g., safety goggles)
against the spraying agents.
Always wear a breathing mask when
working in dense and tall plants, in
greenhouses, in dips in the ground or in
trenches and when using dangerous
spraying agents.
Immediately change any clothing that becomes
soaked with the spraying agent.
Wash the work clothing regularly.
Never wear a scarf, tie, loose jewellery or other
items of clothing that could be caught in a bush
or on a branch.
3 Safety regulations
ENGLISH 6
3.4 Safe handling of spraying agents
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.
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.
Avoid any direct contact with spraying agents.
In case of contact with health hazardous spraying 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.
Never eat or drink when handling spraying
agents.
Stop working immediately if you start to feel
unwell while working, or if you become unusually
tired. Seek medical advice if the condition
persists.
Never allow children or anybody who is not
familiar with handling this type of spraying agent
to handle the spraying agent.
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.
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.
When you have finished spraying, prepare the
device for storage according to section 9.8,
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.
3.5 Safe handling of the rechargeable battery
and the charger
The charger must only be connected to a mains
supply with an operating voltage between 100V
and 240V AC 50/60Hz. It must only be
connected using the correct adapter plugs.
- Check that the mains voltage is correct
before connecting the device.
- Use the correct mains adapter plug.
- The charger must not be connected to the
mains supply in countries for which no
matching mains adapter plug is supplied
together with the backpack sprayer or in
countries where the mains voltage differs
from the operating voltage of the charger.
In this case you should contact a local
dealer to enquire about options for
connecting the charger to the mains
supply.
Always hold the charger itself to push it into the
electrical socket or to pull it out. Never pull on
the cable.
The charger is only designed to recharge the
rechargeable battery that is supplied by SOLO
for this pressure sprayer. Ensure that the battery
is always correctly connected to the charger
before charging.
Always switch off the pump when the charger is
connected.
Never connect the two terminals of the
rechargeable battery (+ / -) with a conducting
object (short circuit).
Keep the charger, the rechargeable battery and
all of the electronics well away from splash
water. These areas should only be cleaned with
a dry or slightly damp cloth. Before cleaning,
always disconnect the power plug from the
socket and the charging cable from the charging
socket on the device.
The rechargeable battery contains dangerous
substances. Never open the battery or the
charger.
Only use the genuine charger to recharge the
battery.
The rechargeable battery and the charger must
not be disposed of as normal domestic waste.
Ensure that you take them to an official disposal
facility for electrical equipment.
