Maintenance and care

5. Maintenance and care

Any cleaning, maintenance or repair jobs should only be performed when the engine is stopped and with removed spark plug cap.

The exception, of course, is carburetor tuning.

Any service jobs, other than those described in this manual, should only be carried out by an authorized service center. Only original parts may be used for any maintenance and service work.

Never modify your motorized mistblower – your personal safety is at risk.

Never service or store the machine near an open flame.

Regularly check the fuel tank lid for sealing and tank ventilation. Only use recommended spark plugs. Check ignition cable for any damage.

After a running in period of approx. 5 hours, all accessible screws and nuts (except for carburetor mixture adjustment needles) have to be checked and re-tightened if required.

Never operate a motorized mistblower with a damaged muffler or without muffler (fire risk and risk of damage to hearing). Do not touch hot muffler.

Turn the idling end-stop screw "T" to adjust the idling speed in accordance with the details provided in the specification. Use an engine rev counter for this job.

If the idling speed is too high, turn the idling end-stop screw "T" anti-clockwise.

If the idling speed is too low (engine stops) turn the idling end-stop screw "T" clockwise until the engine runs smoothly.

If the idling speed cannot be set correctly with the idling end-stop screw "T", request an authorised service centre to tune the carburettor.

The following instructions are for authorised service shops

Information about the standard settings can be requested from the specialist workshop of our customer service department or downloaded from our Internet portal for specialist dealers at www.part-and-more.org.

Use the D-CUT carburettor key to adjust the idle mixture screw "L" and the full load mixture screw

"H".

Clean the air filter before adjusting the low speed screw!

Let the engine run warm before adjusting the engine speed.

The carburettor is tuned for optimum engine performance. Use a rev counter to tune the carburettor correctly!

Do not adjust the engine to a higher speed.

Excessive engine speed can lead to major engine damage!

The carburettor has been adjusted optimally at the factory. Subject to the operational altitude

(mountains or low lying areas), the carburettor may require readjustment.

Fig. 2a,

Type 444

Fig. 2b,

Type 451

The carburettor has 3 adjusting screws (Fig. 1 - 5):

Idling end-stop screw "T"

Low speed mixture screw "L"

High speed mixture screw "H"

Only qualified mechanics must adjust the regulating screws for idle mixture "L" and full load mixture "H".

ENGLISH 8

5.2 Air Filter Maintenance

The air filter separates and retains dirt before the air reaches the combustion chamber. This reduces engine wear.

Regular maintenance increases engine life.

Clogged air filters cause performance loss and increased fuel consumption. This leads to a higher toxin level in the exhaust gas and also makes starting more difficult.

When the machine is used all day, the air filter should be cleaned daily. In severe dust conditions clean more often in between.

Fig. 3a, Type 444

Fig. 3b, Type 451

Undo the screw (Fig. 1, Pos 8) completely (screw is retained inside the filter cover) and remove the filter cover.

For a simple cleaning procedure we recommend tapping the air filter.

Never use a high pressure air cleaner nor wet or moist cleaning. Do not use solvent or oil bath cleaners!

If engine rpm's tend to drop although the carburettor adjustments are perfectly set, the air filter cartridge is clogged and must be replaced by a new one (Type 444: Order-Nr. 20 48 282)

(Type 451: Order-Nr. 20 48 280).

Maintenance and care

Never do realignments on the factory carburettor settings in order to balance a clogged air filter system. This procedure would cause engine damages due overload of the engine.

Warranty claims cannot be accepted for damaged engine parts caused by improper care and maintenance

Insert the new or cleaned fabric air filter into the casing.

Secure the filter cover by turning the screw (Fig. 1,

Pos 8) clockwise.

The correct spark plug with thermal range 200 is available under the following brands:

BOSCH WSR6F

The correct electrode gap is 0.5mm.

Caution: Check the plug after every 50 operating hours and replace if electrodes are worn.

5.4 Storage Hints / Transport Hints

If the unit is to be laid up or kept idle for any length of time, proceed as follows: a) Rinse and clean thoroughly. Never use formula container of your mist blower for storing chemicals. b) Shut off fuel cock and keep engine running until lines and carburetor are empty. Otherwise gasoline evaporates, and the remaining lubricant would clog the carburetor ducts. c) Remove spark plug and squirt an ounce or two of corrosion inhibitor (LPS, WD-40 etc.) or plain engine oil into the cylinder. Crank engine several times to spread the agent, and then reinsert spark plug. d) Please store your machine away from sunlight, order to protect of the materials against influence of ultraviolet radiations. e) Before putting the unit back into service, remove and clean spark plug; crank engine a few times with plug removed.

For transport in a vehicle, ensure the mistblower is well secured to avoid fuel spillage.

Completely empty the fuel tank before extended storage or shipment.

Assembly ; Adjustment of shoulder straps

6. Assembly

Completely assembly the mistblower before its first use:

The straps can be adjusted to the required length with friction slides. Simply pull down both strap ends to tighten straps (a).

Strap tension can be released by lifting both friction slides (b).

Note:

The shoulder straps are correctly adjusted when the back plate of the mist-blower rests firmly against the back of the operator.

ENGLISH 10

8. Fuel information

The engine of your motorized mistblower is a high performance 2-cycle engine and has to be operated with a fuel/oil mix or with a special, premixed fuel for 2-cycle engines available from specialized dealers.

For the fuel mixture, use lead-free regular

(standard) petrol, lead-free Euro-petrol or lead-free

Super (premium) petrol. The minimum octane rating is 92 ROZ.

Mixing Ratio:

We recommend a mixing ratio of 50 parts fuel to 1 part of oil (1:50 – 2%) with the use of special 2cycle oil “SOLO Profi 2T Oil”.

When using other cycle oils we recommend a mixture ratio of 1:25

(4%). Note: Never store fuel mixture for longer than 3-4 weeks.

(4%)!

Smoking or open flame is prohibited

Allow engine to cool before re-fuelling

Fuel may contain solvent-like substances.

Avoid skin and eye contact with mineral products. Wear gloves while refueling.

Frequently change and clean protective clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors.

Do not spill fuel or oil. In case of spillage, immediately wipe off mistblower. Do not allow fuel mix to contact clothing. If fuel mix is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

Ensure fuel or oil do not contaminate soil

(environmental protection). Always use a suitable protective soil cover.

Do not re-fuel in unventilated rooms. Fuel vapors collect at ground level (danger of explosion).

Transport and store fuel and oil only in approved and clearly marked containers.

Children should have no access to fuel or oil.

Ensure you do not inhale exhaust fumes while using the machine. The use of the motorized mistblower is prohibited in closed rooms.

Fuel information ; Filling

The handling of fuel requires caution and consideration. It is imperative that all safety instructions are observed!

Only refuel when the engine has been stopped!

Clean the area around filler inlet before refueling.

Remove tank lid and fill fuel mix up to the lower edge of the filler neck. Do not overfill. If possible, always use a fuel funnel with filter.

Fill in card fully to avoid spilling of fuel or oil.

Replace and secure fuel tank lid.

9. Filling

For filling the equipment, always use the strainer inside the filler neck and observe the filler area through the filling process.

Prevent any direct contact between the external filling hose and the tank contents.

The spray medium must not be allowed to enter the water mains through backlash.

When filling with spray medium, ensure that neither environment, nature nor the water mains ever make contact with the spray medium.

Prevent the tank from overflowing, the contamination of public water, foul water and drainage channels.

The strainer has a mesh size of 0.55 mm. Only use original SOLO strainers, part no.: 42 00 104 with standard mesh size.

Affix the appropriate label to identify the container content.

Never pour different agents at the same time into the container. Before using a different agent, thoroughly clean out the container and all parts in contact with the spray agent, then flush with plenty of water.

Starting / Stopping the engine

10. Starting / Stopping the engine

Before every use and before every start of the mistblower check and ensure the machine is in good and safe condition. (throttle operation, ignition switch, safety devices, shoulder strap and check for fuel leaks)

During the starting procedure and while operating the mistblower, the operator must have secure footing and have a safe body position.

The engine starting site should be at least 3 meters away from the refueling site.

Press primer (11) several times until fuel is visible in the primer.

Place your left hand on the formula tank of the mistblower. Hold the starter handle (Fig. 1.Pos.

7) with your right hand and pull the handle up slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull up firmly and rapidly until the engine ‘fires’.

Once the engine tries to start, immediately open the choke and continue to start.

When the engine runs, use the throttle lever to accelerate to the required engine speed. For continuous use, set the throttle lock lever (Fig. 1,

Pos. 18) in the required position for the desired engine speed.

To return to idling speed, either release the throttle lever or move throttle lock lever down to

”min” position.

Starting with warm engine after short stop

Leave choke in ”open” position and start engine.

Should the engine refuse to start despite several starting attempts, the combustion chamber is most likely flooded.

In this case we recommend you remove and dry the spark plug (Fig.1, 4). Set the ignition switch to

”stop” and set throttle lock lever (Fig. 1, 18) to full throttle position ”max”. Pull over engine several times, still with spark plug removed. This will ventilate the combustion chamber

Replace spark plug and repeat starting procedure.

Starting / Stopping the engine ; Operation hints

Please note: When using a liquid pump, ensure that the tank contains sufficient liquid. The liquid pump can sustain severe damage, if it is permitted to run dry. When using the equipment as a mister and as blower, remove the pump for that reason.

Fig. 8

11.2 Spraying

Approach the target object with the engine at idling speed. Accelerate to full engine speed, then open formula on-off tap.

Wide-range nozzle (7):

Fig. 9

When spraying plants and trees we recommend fixing the wide-range nozzle (7) onto the red standard nozzle (4). This ensures that a large area can be sprayed at one time. Push the wide-range nozzle onto the standard nozzle, until the bead engages.

In narrow spaces and for aftercare, we recommend placing the wide-angle grille (7a) onto the widerange nozzle. This ensures that the spray velocity is reduced and the spray is applied more widespread, to prevent damage to leaves.

Operation hints

Nozzle attachment (6):

Fig. 10

The nozzle attachment (6) is positioned onto the standard nozzle (4) with the selected grille.

Use the dual grille (6a) when spraying cultures in rows (e.g. vines, tomatoes, nurseries), to achieve a good covering on the underside of the leaves.

The deflector grille can be replaced with a dual grille (6b). The dual grille provides a 90° - 110° spray pattern. The dual grille is usually used for spraying two rows at a time. The deflector grille and the dual grille can be placed onto the external diameter of the nozzle, until the bead engages.

Dual nozzle (accessories, part no.: 49 00 137):

Fig. 11

Remove standard nozzle (4) from the spray wand and push the dual nozzle onto the spray wand.

11.3 Residual spray medium

Switch off the appliance as soon as no further liquid is expelled, when the metering body is correctly positioned for spraying, or air bubbles are visible inside the lance supply hose.

The tank will then contain less than 100 ml residual medium.

If you don’t want to refill the tank with spray medium and you want to terminate spraying, dilute the residual medium with 2 l of water. Dispose of this solution on the treated area.

11.4 Strainer for accessory sets

When using the liquid pump (accessory part no.: type 444

44 00 114, type 451

44 00 235) or the ULV accessory (part no.: 49 00 479), a strainer is integrated into the tank connector.

The strainer has a mesh size of 0.32 mm. Only use original strainer part no.: 25 00 198 with standard mesh size when replacing the strainer.

11.5 Checking the spray medium flow rate

At the beginning of the spraying season, check whether the equipment flow rate (l/min) still corresponds to the „Guide values“ table (see also item „Maintenance schedule“).

For this, fill the equipment up to the maximum marker with water, start using the equipment and spray for one minute exactly at maximum operating pressure. Then measure the water volume required to bring the water level back up to the maximum marker.

The actual volume measured represents the flow rate of the equipment in l/min at maximum operating pressure.

It should not deviate by more than 10 % from those listed in the „Guide values“ table. Should the actual value be too low, sediments inside the metering body may be the cause. Clean the corresponding parts and repeat the checking procedure.

Should the actual value be too high, the metering body may be worn or damaged. In that case, replace the metering body with a new one (part no.:40 74 165).

When using accessory sets (liquid pump part no.: type 444

44 00 114, type 451

44 00 235 or

ULV accessory, part no.: 49 00 479) a strainer will be integrated into the tank connector.

In that case, an incorrect flow rate can also be due to a contaminated or worn strainer.

Clean or replace the contaminated/worn strainer

(part no.: 25 00 198).

ENGLISH 14

11.6 Draining and cleaning the tank

For cleaning purposes, the tank can be fully drained into a suitable container via the supply hose.

For this, the engine must be cooled down.

Position the equipment onto a stable higher support, so that the spray medium can drain into a suitable container below.

Fig. 12

Above the container, pull the supply hose from the shut-off valve.

If required, tip the equipment slightly to drain the tank completely.

Ensure that the spray medium does not run over the equipment (especially the engine), but drains directly into the suitable container.

Dispose of residual spray medium correctly at disposal sites licensed for specialised waste.

Empty the spray medium tank daily after work and flush thoroughly with water.

Observe cleaning instructions supplied with the herbicide/fungicide.

After cleaning, let the spray medium container dry in an open state.

Operation hints

Fig. 13

Occasionally clean the strainer inside the filler neck, the strainer in the accessory set and all parts in contact with the medium, with water and a soft brush.
