  • Page 13 Engage easyFlow container adapter (fi rmly mounted on PPP container) into the  easyFlow basic unit. By pulling the hand lever backwards to the limit the container adapter is locked  and ready for dosing. If the lever is hard to pull or inhibited, the container adapter has not latched properly.
  • Page 14 Disconnecting the PPP-container assembly: Before disconnecting the easyFlow container adapter (PPP container is still mounted), make sure the faces are properly rinsed and, if the PPP container is empty that the container rinsing has been carried out effi ciently with no remaining PPP residues.

  • Page 16 Measuring jug lever The measuring jug lever offers three positions. It simultaneously operates the shut-off valve of the measuring jug and the rinsing water valve. Position 1 : Position 2 : Position 3 : Dosing Transfer Rinsing To dose PPP into the measuring jug, turn the red lever in the horizontal position 1 (dosing).
  • Page 17 The rinsing water is drained into the plumbing circuit of the sprayer. Check the discharge hose of the easyFlow M and all connected parts (valves, induction hoppers, etc.) of the discharge/suction line on the sprayer for unobstructed runoff before using the rinsing function.
  • Page 18 To start the rinsing procedures for an empty PPP container, turn the hand lever on the easyFlow M basic unit clockwise until stop. Rotate the container clockwise during the rinsing to get to all parts of it. Cleaning must not be carried out on partially emptied PPP container.
  • Page 19 Pressing the valve button shuts down the valve. This will build up a vacuum, if the easyFlow M is connected to an active suction line. A short push will give a quick pulse and the valve will open again, pressing the button for a longer period will close the valve.
  • Page 20 Container support PPP-containers with volumes larger than 10 l need additional support for secure handling on top of the easyFlow M. Turn the star knob (A) counterclockwise to adjust the sliding guide (B) to the shape of the container, putting it in a vertical position upon the easyFlow M basic unit.
  • Page 21 60 ml. The measuring jug is interchangeable as needed. Rinse the system completely before replacing the jug and test it for leaks with clean water before reusing the easyFlow M for dosing of PPP! NOTE! spray technology...
  • Page 22 NOTE! The easyFlow M discharge hose must be connected to the suction side of the pump either by a T-fi tting onto the suction line or onto the connection to the induction hopper. If connected to the suction line with a straight link to the induction hopper, ensure that the port to the hopper can be closed (may require an additional valve).
  • Page 23 Rinsing connection The rinsing water connection has a G 1" BSP female thread. In case of using an external rinsing water hose we recommend for fast and easy connection a G1" GEKA-jaw-clutch (to order see page 38) or any other suitable quick coupling. Make sure the coupling is properly sealed up to the adapter to prevent leakage.

  • Page 24: Installation And Startup

    Installation and startup 2.1 General installation instructions The easyFlow M can be installed directly on a sprayer or at a stationary or mobile filling station or nurse truck. In either case we recommend connecting the easyFlow M onto the suction side of the sprayer pump, before the suction filter.
  • Page 25 2.2 Installation container support (optional) Set up both pipe connector pads (A) onto the bolts (B). Secure the pads using the cap nuts and the washers. Tighten the nuts with torque 6 Nm. (see fig. 1). Insert the pole mounting tube from the container support through the pads until the desired position of the container support is reached.

  • Page 27 Connect the discharge hose to the suction side feeding the pump on the sprayer before the suction filter. Install a valve on the T-fitting to close the connection to the easyFlow M. Keep the valve shut during normal sprayer operation to maintain max. suction performance of the sprayer pump.

    Operation 3.1 Partial discharge Unscrew original cap from the PPP container. Before mounting check if the cap seal of the easyFlow container adapter is in perfect condition and tighten the cap firmly on the container. Check if the easyFlow container adapter is stretched out completely before mounting it onto a PPP container, like shown in the picture (seal cutter must be draw-in).
  • Page 32 Mount the easyFlow container adapter on the easyFlow M basic unit. The container adapter must click in place. Normally the weight of a full container will do this, if not slightly press down the container until the adapters click in and secure by pulling the hand lever.
