3500 / 4000 EXPLORER
Operation: Filling your Sprayer
Filling tanks with water
WARNING! Do not overfill any tank as this will
cause chemical spillage out of the tank.
IMPORTANT! It is recommended to use water as
clean as possible for spraying purposes.
Water can be filled into the tanks in the following ways:
1 Filled through tank lids (All tanks).
2 Filled by external pump (e.g. Fire fighter) through a
1
1
/
" camlock (Main Tank). ( Flush and Foam Tank
2
filling is controlled with the Blue Manifold Valve ).
An optional high capacity self-priming Banjo
pump can be mounted on your Explorer for fast
filling.
The main tank should normally be filled with 25% of the
required spraying water, before adding the chemicals.
IMPORTANT! Always read the instructions on the
chemical container.
WARNING! When using a high capacity pump for
filling always remove tank lids to prevent over-
expansion and possible tank rupture.
Filling through tank lids
Flip open the main tank lid (Fig 21) and fill through the
strainer to prevent rust or other particles entering the tank.
Screw open the cylindrical foam marker tank lid (A Fig
22) and adjacent wrap-around flush tank lid (B Fig 22)
and fill with water.
An overhead tank can be used in order to obtain high
filling capacity.
WARNING! Do not let the filling hose enter any
tank. Keep it outside the tank, pointing towards the
filling hole. If hose is placed at the bottom of the
tank, and the water pump at the water supply plant
stops, chemicals could be siphoned back and
contaminate the water supply lines. (Fig 23)
Filling clean water tank
The clean water tank (Fig24) has a capacity of 15 litres.
The water from this tank is for hand washing, cleaning
blocked nozzles, etc. Only fill this tank with clean water.
WARNING! Although the clean water tank is only
filled with clean water, it must never be used for
drinking, due to the risk of accidental contamination.
