Liquid system

Filling of water

Tank should normally be filled 1/3 with water before adding chemicals.
Always follow instructions given on the chemical container!
±
WARNING! If the sprayer is put aside with liquid in the main tank, all valves must be closed.

Filling through tank lid

Water is filled into the tank by removing the tank lid located at front of
sprayer tank which is accessible from platform. It is recommended to use
water as clean as possible for spraying purposes. Always fill water
through the strainer basket to prevent foreign particles from entering
the tank. An overhead tank can be used in order to obtain high filling
capacity.
±
WARNING! Do not let the filling hose enter the tank. Keep it outside the tank, pointing towards the filling hole. If the
hose is lowered into the tank and the water pressure drops at the water supply, chemicals may be siphoned back and
contaminate the water supply lines and source.

Filling of main tank using Quick Fill (optional)

The main tank is filled using the Quick Fill as follows:
1. Turn Suction valve to "Off" (vertical) position.
2. Make sure Quick Fill valve is closed (Yellow handle "up").
3. Remove plug from Quick Fill coupler and connect filling hose from
water supply (i.e. overhead fill tank).
4. Turn water supply "On" (so filling hose is pressurized).
5. Open Quick Fill valve (Yellow handle "out" in line with filling hose).
6. Fill tank to desired level. Keep an eye on the level indicator.
7. Close Quick Fill valve to discontinue filling process (Yellow handle "up").
8. Turn water supply "Off"and remove the filling hose.
9. Replace Quick Fill plug.
€
DANGER! Avoid contamination or personal injury. Do not open Quick Fill valve unless filling hose is connected. If
Quick Fill valve is open, liquid can flow out of the main tank.
±
WARNING! Do not leave the sprayer while filling the tank. Keep an eye on the level indicator in order NOT to overfill
the tank.
