Fontan Portastar S - Commissioning
The Fontan Portastar S is used outdoors for the control of pests, mosquitoes and desert locust as well as for plant
protection measures in plantations.
The device uses the ULV (ultra low volume) process and produces a dense aerosol fog with a VMD (volume median
diameter) droplet spectrum of <30 μm with all standard nozzles.
Depending on the wind conditions, the fog can drift 50 m or more.
The spray gun (8) must be attached to the provided strap on the device frame and secured during transport.

Device start
• Fill the spraying tank (2). Use the chemical funnel with strainer (large, standard accessory).
• Fill the fuel tank (19). Use the fuel funnel with strainer (small, standard accessory).
• Fuel: Two-stroke mixture, regular petrol station fuel, lead-free or leaded, mixed with quality 2-stroke oil.
Oil-petrol mixture ratio 1:50.
• Set the engine switch (15) to the “ON” position.
• Actuate the primer pump (14) repeatedly (fuel supply to the carburettor).
• Push the choke lever (18) upwards.
• Push the throttle lever (17) all the way down.
• Press the decompression valve (13).
• Forcefully and repeatedly (if necessary) pull the manual recoil starter (16) until the engine starts briefly. Then push
the choke lever down.
• Pull the manual recoil starter again until the engine is running.
• Open the fog liquid valve (3) (lever down).
• Put the device on your back and adjust the carrying straps (11) and waist strap (12).
• Move the throttle lever (17) upwards to the maximum position (full throttle position).
Only in this position does the device work properly and meet the specifications regarding spray output and droplet
quality.
(The full throttle position is fixed and below the maximum engine power).
• Pull the spray lever (9) on the spray gun. The device fogs. The fogging function stops when you let go of the spray
lever.
