Cleaning

CAUTION
Contamination with crop protection agents.
Wear the personal protective outfit when clea-
ning the crop protection sprayer!
Monitor the air and hydraulic hoses especially
¾
carefully.
Never use gasoline, benzene, petroleum or
¾
mineral oils on air and hydraulic hoses.
After cleaning, check all hydraulic lines for
¾
leaks and loose connections.
Lubricate the machine after cleaning, espe-
¾
cially after cleaning with a high pressure /
steam jet cleaner or when using liposoluble
cleaning agents.
Pay attention to the statutory regulations
¾
concerning the handling and waste disposal
of cleaning agents.
Check for chafing and signs of damage. Re-
¾
medy any faults immediately!
Prior to working on the electrical system,
¾
disconnect it from the electric current supply.
Service life and reliability of the crop protection
sprayer essentially depend on the time the ma-
terial of the crop protection sprayer is exposed
to the crop protection agent.
Keep the exposure time of the spraying
¾
mixture as short as possible, e.g. by daily
cleaning.
Do not leave the spraying mixture for an
¾
unnecessary period of time in the spraying
mixture container, e.g. not over night.
Always clean the Shuttle before flushing in a
¾
different crop protection agent.
