ATTENTION! This cleaning procedure is always used, if one or more of these situations occur:
A. The next crop to be sprayed is at risk of being damaged by the chemical just used.
B. The sprayer is not going to be used right away for the same chemical or crop.
C. Before any repair or maintenance job is going to be carried out on the sprayer.
μ
ATTENTION! Washing the sprayer between jobs with incompatible crops must be done according to prescriptions
from the chemical manufacturer. Use e.g. AllClearExtra, as this is a commonly used cleaning agent. If your chemical
prescribes another cleaning agent and/or another cleaning procedure, you must follow that.
Procedure for washing with a cleaning agent, such as AllClearExtra:
1. Rinse the sprayer in the field (See the section "Use of Rinsing Tank and Rinsing Nozzles").
2. Drive to the filling location.
3. Prepare sprayer for cleaning with cleaning agent. Fill water in the main tank to 10% of its capacity. Fill the rinsing tank
completely. This water is later used for rinsing.
4. Turn suction valve towards "Main tank" and pressure valve towards "Tank cleaning nozzle". Set agitation valve to
"Agitation".
5. Engage and set the pump speed at approximately 300 rpm.
6. Allow the liquid to circulate the system for 3 minutes.
7. Close all valves for minimum 10 seconds in order to burst and flush the safety valve.
8. Open the ChemFiller enable valve, the ChemFiller transfer valve and the flush valve. Allow the liquid to circulate for 3
minutes.
