Before returning to refill the sprayer

If the sprayer is to be refilled at the farm or at a fixed filling place without a filling space with hard surface and drain to closed
reservoir, the sprayer should be rinsed before returning to refill.
Dilute the residues of the spraying circuit, and spray it on the crop. Then rinse the sprayer on the outside with the External
Cleaning Device before returning to the farm.

WARNING! Always follow local legislation in force at any time.

Agitation before resuming a spray job

If a spray job has been interrupted for a while, severe sedimentation may
occur depending on the chemicals being used. Before resuming the
spray job, it might be necessary to agitate sediment material.
1. Turn the handle at the suction valve towards "Suction from main
tank". Turn the pressure SmartValve towards "Pressure
draining/TurboFiller" and turn the Agitation valve towards
"Agitation". Other valves closed.
2. Engage the pump and set P.T.O. speed at 540 r/min or 1000 r/min
(depending on pump model).
3. Agitation has started and should be continued for at least 10 minutes.
4. The spray job can now be resumed. Turn pressure SmartValve towards "Spraying" and start spraying.
€
DANGER! Before turning Pressure SmartValve to "Pressure draining/TurboFiller" it is very important to be sure that the
quick coupler lid is correct and completely mounted to the filling stud into its locked position. Failure to do so may
cause risk of contamination and injury from quick coupler lid being "shot" off when pressurized! If not possible to
mount lid completely, lubricate the rubber seal and the grip hooks.

Parking the sprayer

To avoid spot contamination the sprayer should always be parked at either the washing/filling place or under roof. This avoid
rainfall to flush down chemical residues from the sprayer's surfaces.
• Parking at the washing/filling location will retain residues.
• Always park the machine out of reach of children, animals or unauthorized persons.
