    250 micron; large enough to minimise any risk of spray drift. The ergonomic design of the HANDY, with the carrying handle and bot- tle being an integral part of the machine allows for closed chemical transfer and im- proved operator safety.

  • Page 6: Mixing And Filling

    With the HANDY herbicides are usually applied in around 20 litres total spray vol- ume per hectare, with the exception of glyphosate which can be applied at volumes as low as 10 litres per hectare. These are lower volumes than recommended for high volume application with knapsack sprayers.
  • Page 7 For example, if the label recommends applying a minimum of 2 litres of product made up to 200 litres of water per hectare with a knapsack sprayer, use 2 litres of product made up to 20 litres for application with the HANDY, i.e. a spray mix con- centration of 10%.

  • Page 9: Calibration

    These values have been measured using water only. Actual flow rates will depend on the viscosity of the spray liquid used and the angle at which the operator holds the sprayer. Before spraying, therefore, the HANDY should be calibrated by the operator for the spray mix being used.

  • Page 10: Before Spraying

    BEFORE SPRAYING Check the wind speed and direction (below 5 kph is safest). Take special care to avoid drift by keeping the spray head as low as possible. Before spraying for the first time use soap and water only to familiarise yourself with the sprayer and check the spray pattern produced.

  • Page 11: To Stop Spraying

    TO STOP SPRAYING If there is any spray liquid left in the spray bottle, keep the motor running and slowly tilt the sprayer so that the head is above the level of the bottle and when no more spray liquid is emitted from the at- omiser disc, switch off the sprayer.

  • Page 12: Storage

    After working with agrochemicals, or handling spraying equipment, always thor- oughly wash hands and exposed skin. All protective clothing should be washed sepa- rately from other clothing and stored. Contaminated gloves should be washed inside and out. STORAGE Before storing for long periods, make sure that the batteries are removed to prevent leaking and that the sprayer is clean and dry.
