4 - Sprayer Setup
Before Putting the Sprayer into Operation
Although the sprayer has been supplied with a strong and protective surface treatment on steel parts, bolts etc. in the
factory, it is recommended to apply a film of anti-corrosion oil (e.g. CASTROL RUSTILO or SHELL ENSIS FLUID) on all metal
parts in order to avoid chemicals and fertilizers discolouring the enamel.
If this is done before the sprayer is put into operation for the first time, it will always be easy to clean the sprayer and keep
the enamel clean for many years. This treatment should be carried out every time the protection film is washed off.
Jack Up the Sprayer
When the sprayer needs wheel mounting or changing of wheels, wheel
bearings or brakes, jack up the sprayer under the axle as shown.
Notice the axle load (kg) in "Tyre Pressure" on page 169, and use a
suitable jack and suitable trestles for the task.

DANGER! Be sure to place sprayer at level and firm ground to
prevent the sprayer from falling down from the jack. For your
safety:
• use chocks at the opposite wheel to prevent rolling.
• connect the sprayer's drawbar to a tractor to help balance the
sprayer on the jack.
• place strong trestles below the wheel axle, once it is jacked up. The
jack alone is only for lifting and lowering the sprayer.
