During Operation - Stihl SG 20 Instruction Manual

To fill the backpack sprayer, place it on a
level surface. To reduce the risk of
contaminating the surrounding
environment, be careful not to overfill the
container with chemical solution.
If you fill the container with a hose
attached to a central water supply, be
sure the end of the hose is out of the
solution to reduce the risk of backflow,
i.e. the chemicals being sucked into the
water supply in the case of a sudden
vacuum.
Calculate the correct amount of
chemical solution so that it is used up at
one time, with no extra solution left in the
container.
!
Warning!
Check for leakage while refilling and
during operation. A leak from the
container or a loose fitting could soak
your clothing and come into contact with
your skin.

Never use a backpack sprayer that is
