Never smoke in areas where you are
working.
When removing the spray tube, do not point to
yourself or other persons with the end of the
tube.

1.7 Maintenance, repairs and storage

Only perform maintenance work and repairs by
yourself if they are covered in these operating
instructions. All other work must be carried out by
an authorised workshop.
The repair of modern devices and their safety-
relevant assemblies, requires qualified, specialized
training and a workshop equipped with special
tools and test devices. The specialist has the
required training, experience, and equipment at his
disposal to provide you with the most cost-effective
solution and can help you in many ways with
advice and service.
The device must not be serviced, repaired
or kept in the vicinity of naked flames.
Before doing any maintenance work or repairs
and before opening the spraying agent tank,
depressurise the device by pulling on the
pressure relief valve (Fig. 4).
Before pulling on the pressure relief valve (2),
the device must always be in an upright position.
Attention: Keep the device away from your face!
Always depressurise the device by pulling on the
pressure relief valve (2) before unscrewing the
high-pressure hose, the shut-off valve (5), the
pressure gauge (depending on the model), the
spray tube (1) and the nozzle attachment (4).
All repairs must only be performed using SOLO
genuine replacement parts.
The device must not be altered in any way, as
this could adversely affect the safety of the
device and potentially cause an accident or
injury.

2 Preparing the device for use

2.1 Assembly

The pressure sprayer is dismantled before it is
dispatched. It must be fully reassembled again
before it is used.
Installation of the spray tube (1):
Fasten the threaded collar (Fig. 2, pos. 1) on
straight and firmly screw the spray tube with
O-ring (16x3 mm) hand-tight onto the shut-off
valve. Do not use any tools!
When your work is completed, the spray tube
should be fitted into the holding clamp (10) at the
transport handle (7) (Fig. 3).
ENGLISH 6
Installation of the pressure gauge (depending on
the model):
Unscrew the black threaded collar from the
shut-off valve.
Screw the black threaded collar of the pressure
gauge accessory kit onto the shut-off valve.
Insert the O-ring into the threaded collar and
screw the pressure gauge hand-tight into the
threaded collar. Do not use any tools!

2.2 Spray nozzle and filter element

At the factory, an adjustable spray nozzle is
assembled as the standard spray nozzle.
Delivery rate: See section 4.1
A filter element is fitted in the elbow piece
upstream of the spray nozzle (Fig. 2).
Only the above mentioned standard spray nozzle
(part no.: 49 00 525), the spray nozzles from the
nozzle kit (part no.: 49 00 574) and the genuine
filter element (part no.: 40 74 922 25, mesh
aperture: 0.8 mm [0.031"]) must be used in this
pressure sprayer. Changing spray nozzle and filter
element: See section 5.3

2.3 Height adjustment of the transport handle

In order to allow different sized people back-
friendly working, the height of the transport handle
is adjustable.
Height adjustment of the transport handle (7):
Unscrew the handle screwing (8) by turning it to
the left (counterclockwise).
Pull out the transport handle on both sides
evenly until the desired height is set.
Re-tighten the handle screwing by turning it to
the right (clockwise).

2.4 Trial run

At the first start-up, at the start of the spraying
season and in frequent use at least once a month,
perform a trial run according to section 5.1 to check
the entire device.
3 Mixing spraying agents and
filling the spraying agent tank
When handling the spraying agents, always
follow the safety instructions of these
operating instructions (pay special attention to
