7. USING THE MACHINE

RULES OF USE
The series of this mist blower are built for
agricultural use. The materials used withstand
normal chemical products for agricultural
spraying used when built.
Alternative use of the machine is not permitted,
we do not answer for eventual damages caused
by aggressive chemicals or thick sticky products.
MACHINE USE IS HIGHLY PROHIBITED TO PEOPLE
UNDER THE AGE OF 18.
The present manual is valid for the back carried
mist blower with axial fan for phytosanitary
treatment in orchards, vineyards, and diverse
kinds or types of arboreal row cultivation.
Plan your work carefully and intelligently.
Establish the exact expanse and confines of the
area to be treated, before commencing work.

WARNING - Keep a constant watch on

conditions in the area being treated: do not

direct the jet at people or animals. Stop the

machine immediately if anyone approaches.

PRECAUTIONS FOR THE WORK AREA

- Do not work near electrical cables or buildings.
- Work only in conditions offering sufficient

visibility and light to see clearly.

- Do not walk backwards when using the

machine.

- Stop the engine before setting the mist blower

down.

- Be particularly cautious and alert when

wearing ear protectors, as these can restrict
your ability to hear sounds indicating danger
(shouts, signals, warnings, etc.)

- Be extremely careful when working on slopes

or uneven surfaces.

PROHIBITED USE
Use of this machine is strictly prohibited with
these products:
-  Paints of any kind or type
-  Paint solvents or diluents of any kind or type
-  Fuels or lubricants of any kind or type
-  GPL or gases of any kind or type
-  Inflammable liquids of any kind or type

wrench, then clean it and dry it.

· Turn the engine upside down with the spark

plug bore facing downward.

· Pull the starter handle (4, Fig.1) at least 20

times and check whether fuel drips from the
spark plug bore.

· Dry the surfaces around the spark plug bore.
· Refit the spark plug and repeat the operations

with the throttle lever (1, Fig.13) in the max
speed position and the choke lever (B) in its
horizontal position as shown in Fig.11.

CAUTION:

- Never wrap the starter cord around your

hand.

- When pulling the starter rope, do not use

the full extent of the rope as this can cause
the rope to break.

- Do not let starter rope snap back. Hold the

starter handle (4, Fig.1) and let the rope
rewind slowly.

BREAKING-IN THE ENGINE
The engine reaches the maximum power after
5÷8 hours of activity.
During this period of breaking-in do not use the
engine at wide open throttle without load, to
avoid excessive functioning stress.

WARNING! - During the breaking-in

period do not vary the carburetion to obtain a
presumed power increment; the engine can be
damaged.

NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted
from a new engine during and after first use.

6. STOPPING THE ENGINE

Set the throttle lever to idle position (1, Fig. 13)
and wait a few seconds to let the engine cool off.
Turn off the engine, pushing the ON/OFF switch
(2, Fig. 13).
