Micron Technology AU8000 Manual Do Utilizador

The mistblower will have a long and trouble-free life if it is kept clean and properly 
adjusted.  Attention must be given to the following points: 
1.  Chemical must NEVER be left in the tank or pipework.  Always flush out the sprayer 

with water or a solvent for the chemical used.  Drain cleaning liquid from the sprayer 
before storage. 

2.  Do not leave fuel in the tank or carburettor whilst the sprayer is in storage.  After use, 

close the fuel valve whilst the engine is running.  When the engine stops, drain all 
remaining fuel from the tank. 

3.  Check and clean the engine air filter every 50 hours (or less in dusty conditions).  To 

clean the filter, proceed as follows: 

 

i)  Open the filter casing and remove the foam filter. 

 

ii)  Wash the filter in petrol (gasoline). 

 

iii)  While still wet, pour about 5 ml of SAE 40/50 oil on the filter and squeeze well in. 

 

iv)  Allow all petrol to evaporate. 

 

v)  Re-assemble filter in casing. 

4. 

Check and clean fuel filters.  Note that the engine has two filters; one at the fuel valve 
and one at the carburettor inlet. 

5.  Check the spark plug every 50 hours.  If necessary, clean the spark plug and adjust 

the gap setting to 0.4 – 0.5 mm.  If the spark plug is damaged, replace with a new 
plug of the correct type (see mistblower parts list).
