Handler IV Operator's Manual page 15

BREAK IN
Although there are no operational restrictions on the
handler when used for the first time, it is recommended
that the following mechanical items be checked:
A) Functional Check
After the Handler has been installed, a complete functional
check should be done to verify that the plumbing has been
properly connected and there are no leads. Before adding
product to the system, run the system as if adding product
during operation, but using only water. Open and close
each valve to simulate the complete operation of product
removing and container rinsing.
Place a used, clean product container in the
handler to direct the stream of water back
into the tank.
Check all fitting and connections for leaks.
Stop all leaks by tightening fittings or
disassembling and applying a thread sealant
to the threads. Do not use product unless all
leaks have been stopped.
B) After adding 5 and 50 containers of product:
1 Re-torque all mounting fasteners
2 Check plumbing for leaks. Stop all leaks by tightening
fittings or disassembling and applying a thread sealant to
the threads.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Efficient and safe operation of the Handler requires that
each operator reads and understands the operating pro-
cedures and all related safety precautions outlined in this
section. A pre-operational checklist is provided for the
operator . It is important for both personal safety and
maintaining the good mechanical condition of the Handler
that this checklist be followed.

NOTE
Before using the Handler and each time thereafter the fol-
lowing areas should be checked off:
1 Check that your personal protective gear is in good
condition.
2 Review the warnings and instructions on the product
container label.
3 Check the plumbing for leaks. Repair all leaks before
starting.
4 Review and follow the Pre-Operation checklist for the
sprayer.
OPERATION
The Handler IV can be adapted for use on any existing
sprayer or water supply vehicle. It may be used for adding
liquid, dry product, or solupacks. The capability of your
water supply source and the type of valve system you
have chosen to purchase with your Handler IV Batch and
Induction tank will determine the installation configuration
and the operating procedures. Carefully review the section
that applies to your particular system.
CAUTION
1 Wear appropriate personal protective gear
whenever working with the Handler or around toxic
chemicals.
2 Read and follow warnings and instructions on
chemical container label.
3 Do not place hands into Handler tank at any
time.
4 Review Sprayer Manual before starting.
