Mixing, Filling And Calibration - Micron Herbiflex4 Instruction Manual

MIXING, FILLING AND CALIBRATION

Mixing and filling is generally the most hazardous process in the spraying operation.
Always follow the label instructions. Always use a filter (fitted in the Micron Mi-
cropak backpacks) and use a funnel if filling a container with a small neck. Only
mix enough spray for the area to be treated thereby avoiding the need for disposal of
unused spray mix.
Always wear gloves when handling
agrochemicals and equipment.
Always wash off any skin
contamination
With the HERBIFLEX-4 herbicides are usually applied in around 20 litres total spray
volume per hectare. The exception is 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. Use the minimum dose rate recom-
mended on the label for the intended treatment and add water to make up to the vol-
ume required for application with the HERBIFLEX-4.
Always use the correct equipment
when mixing and measuring.
Always clean all equipment after
use.
