Cleaning
It is vital that the entire sprayer is flushed out and cleaned after use. The 10 litre
flushing tank is provided for flushing the sprayer with kerosene or a similar solvent
compatible with the pesticide used.
The system should be flushed through by selecting the 10 litre flushing tank position
on the tank selector valve and operating the sprayer (with its engine running) for
about 1 minute. This should be done at the spray site so as to avoid the risk of
contamination of an off-target area by dilute pesticide. Any solvent remaining in the
sprayer should be drained from the tank and disposed of safely.
After flushing, all external surfaces should be washed down with water and
detergent.
IMPORTANT: under no circumstances should any pesticide be left in the sprayer
when it is not in use.

Additional Applications
The spray head may be de-mounted from the gimbal mounting ring and held by
an operator to direct spray towards a specific target (eg into a ditch etc). Care
should be taken to avoid contact with the rotating gauze.
The sprayer may also be used from a stationary vehicle, using the wind to carry
the droplets to a specific target (eg pests resting in trees etc).
