Operation of spraying device is, in addition to LED diodes, also shown graphically on display. If LED diode is on, it means that the section is closed and that it is on a part of already sprayed surface.
Page 106: Pressure Regulator
USER MANUAL – rev.2016/12 AGS 2500/3000 EN-HP 12 PRESSURE REGULATOR Pressure regulator with bypass regulation is by far the most suitable for trailed sprayers, because of better response time of distribution valves when spraying. Bypass regulation has its regulation part separated from distribution valves. Regulation part is located closer to the pump, suction and pressure collector, while the distribution valve is located closer to the nozzle, so the response time of the distribution valve can be better/ is as big as it can be.

AGS 2500/3000 EN-HP USER MANUAL – rev.2016/12 LEGEND: 1. Regulation valve 2. Pressure gauge 3. Self-cleaning pressure filter 4. Section valve 5. Flow meter 6. Bypass valve Regulation valve with filter is normally installed in the front part of spraying device, close to pump and optional 5-way pressure valve.

USER MANUAL – rev.2016/12 AGS 2500/3000 EN-HP 12.3.4 Pressure sensor - option Instead of measuring flow with flow gauge, flow can be indirectly measured with pressure sensor. Pressure sensor is installed in pressure gauge position. Measuring and readout of pressure are shown on basic image of display of AG-TRONIK.

In case of short-term overload, fuse disengages and reengages in the next moment. If there is a serious motor fault and the fuse does not engage, fault must be remedied by authorized service of Agromehanika.

USER MANUAL – rev.2016/12 AGS 2500/3000 EN-HP 13 MAINTENANCE 13.1 Sprayer cleaning After each use, the sprayer must be thoroughly cleaned. The best way to use any excess insecticide is to dilute it with water and spray it on the same surface again. The concentration should be at least 10% (10 units of water per one unit of insecticide), the spraying speed slightly faster and the spraying pressure slightly lower (1.5 bar, depending on the nozzle).
Page 115: Maintenance And Storage After Season
AGS 2500/3000 EN-HP USER MANUAL – rev.2016/12 After cleaning the sprayer with a detergent, fill at least 1/5 of the tank with clean water and repeat the cleaning process. Make sure that you have cleaned all elements that have come in contact with the insecticide or the detergent.
