16. Spray out water with cleaning agent and chemical residue. Set the spray pressure at 3-5 bar. Note that the washing
water still contains active chemical and choose an appropriate area to spray this out. Alternatively, the washings can
be dumped at the filling/washing location and retained in an appropriate receptacle (e.g. slurry tank or similar) - see
the section "Filling/washing location requirements" for more information. Spot contamination and accumulation must
be prevented. Continue to spray until all liquid has exited from the boom tubes and nozzles.
17. Shut off all nozzles by the main ON/OFF switch.
18. Rinse the sprayer again with clean water to rinse out all remains of the cleaning agent - see the section "Use of Rinsing
Tank and Rinsing Nozzles". This to prevent that the cleaning agent remains in the fluid system, which could damage
the next spray chemical filled into the main tank.
19. Include rinsing of the TurboFiller in step 17. Operate all 3 valves during this process.
20. Dismantle all filters (suction, pressure, in-line and nozzle filters) and clean the filter screens using clean water and
detergent.

WARNING! It is the responsibility of the sprayer operator or owner, that the sprayer is cleaned sufficiently to prevent
contamination of the environment, crop damages and health and safety hazards to the operator and the public.
HARDI cannot be held responsible for any damages or incidents related to insufficient cleaning.

ATTENTION! The rinsing nozzles cannot always guarantee a 100% cleaning of the tank. Clean manually with a high
pressure cleaner afterwards, especially if crops sensitive to the chemical just sprayed are going to be sprayed
afterwards!
Outside Cleaning - Use of External Cleaning Device (optional)
Use the External Cleaning Device to wash everything on the outside of the sprayer.

contamination and injury from quick coupler lid being "shot" off when pressurized! If it is not possible to mount lid
completely, lubricate the rubber seal and the grip hooks.

ATTENTION! If the safety valve is activated, then lower the PTO speed to minimize the amount of rinsing water being
