Quick reference - Cleaning

In the following diagram, valve positions for different options are described.

Inevitably a quantity of spray liquid will remain in the system. It cannot be sprayed properly on the crop, as the pump

takes in air when the tank is about to be empty.

This Technical Residue is defined as the remaining liquid quantity in the system as the first clear pressure drop on the

pressure gauge is read.

The residues in the tank should be diluted immediately in the relationship 1:10 with clean water and sprayed onto the

crop just sprayed before cleaning the sprayer.

The drain valve is located and operated from the left hand side of

the sprayer near the boom transport bracket. Pull the string to open

the drain valve. The valve is spring-loaded, but can be kept open by

pulling the string upwards in the V-shaped slit. To release, pull the

string downward and the valve will close automatically.

If draining residues, e.g. liquid fertilizer into a reservoir, a snap-cou-

pler with hose can rapidly be connected to the drain valve and the

liquid safely drained.
