SOLO REPLACEMENT 12V PUMP TO SUIT 417LI BACKPACK SPRAYER SO13438

Before each use, calibrate your sprayer by applying water over a 100m² test area and measuring the volume used to determine your coverage per full tank. Half-fill the tank with water first, add the required amount of chemical using the formula (chemical rate L/ha ÷ 10,000) × area covered per tank, then top up to the full mark. Maintain a consistent walking pace and hold the nozzle approximately 50cm above the target surface for even coverage. Always wear the PPE specified on the chemical label, typically including gloves and eye protection at minimum. Tips: Consistent walking speed is critical as it directly affects your application rate — practice maintaining the same pace during calibration and actual spraying. Triple-rinse the tank with water after each use and never leave chemicals sitting in the tank overnight, as this can cause equipment damage and affect subsequent applications. Select the appropriate nozzle type (flat fan for general coverage, cone for penetration) based on your target and always check pressure settings according to your nozzle manufacturer's recommendations.
