Holding and Controlling the Unit
Carry the unit on your back with both
harness straps – do not hang it over one
shoulder.
Walk slowly forwards as you work –
observe the nozzle outlet at all times –
do not walk backwards – risk of

opening the fastener on the waist belt
(SG 71 only), loosening the shoulder
straps and setting down the unit. To
avoid damage, do not throw the unit to
the ground when practicing.
During Operation
Never spray in the direction of
bystanders – risk of injury.
Take special care in slippery conditions
– damp, snow, ice, on slopes or uneven
ground.
Watch out for obstacles: Be careful of
refuse, tree stumps, roots and ditches
which could cause you to trip or stumble.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
Never work on a ladder or any other
insecure support.
When working in open ground and
gardens take special care to avoid
harming small animals.
To reduce the risk of electrocution,
never work in the vicinity of live wires or
power cables.
Always clean the sprayer before
changing to a different plant protection
product.
After Finishing Work
Check all parts of the unit for leaks.
