Filling Powder Chemicals Using The Turbofiller - Hardi COMMANDER 4500 Instruction Book

Filling Powder Chemicals Using the TurboFiller

1. Fill the main tank at least 1/2 with water (unless otherwise stated
on the chemical container label).
2. Turn the suction SmartValve handle to "Suction from Main tank".
Turn the pressure SmartValve handle to "TurboFiller". Adjust
Agitation valve to desired setting.
ATTENTION! For increased suction from the TurboFiller the
Agitation Valve can be kept closed.
3. Engage the pump and set P.T.O. revolutions to 1000 rpm.
4. Open TurboFiller lid. Open TurboDeflector valve and TurboFiller suction valve.
5. Measure the correct quantity of chemical and sprinkle it into the hopper as fast as the transfer device can flush it down.
The TurboFiller suction valve must be open for at least 20 seconds after the chemical is no longer visible in the hopper
in order to completely empty the transfer hoses into the main tank.
€
DANGER! If the TurboFiller and the transfer hoses are not completely emptied, there are risk of chemicals being
siphoned out of the main tank!
€
DANGER! Always wear face shield and other appropriate personal safety equipment when filling chemicals.
6. If the chemical container is empty, it can be rinsed by the Chemical Container Cleaning device. Place the container
over the multi-hole nozzle and push the container cleaning lever.
€
DANGER! In order to avoid spray liquid hitting the operator, do not press lever unless the multi-hole nozzle is covered
by a container as spray liquid may otherwise hit the operator.
ATTENTION! Rinsing device uses spray liquid to rinse containers for concentrated chemicals. Always rinse the
chemical containers with clean water several times until they are clean before disposal.
7. Flush the TurboFiller with clean water from the Rinsing tank. The TurboFiller suction valve must be open for at least 20
seconds after the rinse water is no longer visible in the hopper in order to completely empty the transfer hoses into
the main tank.
ATTENTION! If not flushed with clean water, the hopper rinsing device uses spray liquid for rinsing the hopper!
Cleaning the TurboFiller must always be done when the spray job is ended and together with the entire sprayer -
cleaning after the last filling and before spraying the last tankful does not ensure a clean TurboFiller!
8. Close TurboFiller suction valve when the hopper has been rinsed and close the lid.
9. If closed, turn the Agitation Valve to "Agitation".
10. When the spray liquid is well agitated, turn handle of the pressure
SmartValve to "Spraying" position. Keep P.T.O. engaged so the
spray liquid is continuously agitated until it has been sprayed on
the crop.
