STIHL SG 51 Manual Backpack Sprayer

Discover the STIHL SG 51 Manual Backpack Sprayer, a robust 12-Litre capacity sprayer designed for both occasional and professional users and their gardening and agricultural tasks. The SG 51 combines advanced features with the ease of manual operation, making it a top choice for those needing an efficient solution for fields and expansive spaces.

Comfortable use for all users

Featuring a variable pump lever, users of the SG 51 sprayer can customise it for both left and right-handed operation. This feature ensures an optimal working position for any user, thereby reducing fatigue particularly during extended periods of use. Furthermore, the pump lever’s length can be modified to fit the operator’s preference, enhancing ergonomics and control.

Comfort extends to how the SG 51 is carried. It boasts a hanging strap system that secures the harness at both the top and bottom, allowing for easy hanging when not in use. The back straps offer two mounting positions and are fully adjustable to accommodate different sizes of users. This ensures the sprayer sits comfortably and securely on their back throughout the day.

Long-lasting performance

Another highlight of the backpack sprayer is the durable shut-off valve, engineered for ease of use and precision. With a large operating lever, the valve requires minimal effort to control the flow of liquid, allowing for accurate application with little physical strain. Furthermore, this design also contributes to the longevity and reliability of the STIHL SG 51 sprayer by ensuring consistent performance and reducing the risk of wear and tear.

Innovative and durable design

The integrated measuring cup in the container lid featuring 10 ml, 20 ml, and 50 ml measurements is handy for precise mixing and filling. A central output tube is a standout feature, positioned strategically for maximum freedom of movement, allowing you to reach more areas with less effort. The internal pump, protected within the container, highlights the SG 51’s durable design. This internal placement shields the pump from external damage, thus extending the lifespan of the sprayer.

STIHL warranty

The SG 51 is covered for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase by the owner, when used for the designed purpose of that product by domestic users. Terms and conditions apply. Garden Machinery Direct will register the warranty with STIHL for you.
