Filling Through Tank Lid

Water is filled into the tank by removing the big tank lid, which is located at the top of the sprayer tank near the front, which
is accessible from the platform. It is recommended to use as clean water as possible for spraying purposes. Always fill water
through the strainer basket to prevent foreign particles from entering the tank. An overhead tank can be used in order to
obtain high filling capacity.
±
WARNING! Do not let the filling hose enter the tank. Keep it
outside the tank, pointing towards the filling hole. If the hose is
led into the tank, and the water pressure drops at the water
supply plant, chemicals may be sucked back and contaminate
the water supply lines, supply plant and supply well.
±
WARNING! The water supply line should be provided with a check
valve as additional safety precaution. Follow local legislation in
force at any time.
±
WARNING! The water supply should be provided with a water meter to avoid spillage by overfilling. Follow local
legislation in force at any time.

External Filling Device

The External Filling Device is operated as follows:
1. Remove cover and connect suction hose to the suction manifold.
2. Closeurn pressure SmartValve to "Main tank" .
3. Turn handle on External Filling Device valve towards Filling Device.
4. Engage diaphragm pump and set PTO revolutions at 540 rpm or
1000 rpm depending on pump model.
5. The tank is now filled with water. Keep an eye on the liquid level
indicator.
6. Turn handle on suction manifold away from Filling Device to
discontinue filling process. Now disengage the pump.
7. Disconnect suction hose and replace cover.
€
DANGER! Prevent contamination or injury. Do not open suction valve towards Filling Device, unless the pump is
running and the filling hose is connected. If this valve is opened without the pump running, liquid will stream out of
the coupler.
±
WARNING! Do not leave the sprayer while filling the tank, and keep an eye on the level indicator in order NOT to
overfill the tank.
±
WARNING! If suction hose/filter is carried on the sprayer during spraying, it can be contaminated by spray drift which
will be transferred to lake/river when filling!
μ
ATTENTION! Observe local legislation regarding use of filling device. In some areas, it is prohibited to fill from open
water reservoirs (lakes, rivers etc.). It is strongly recommended only to fill from closed reservoirs (mobile water tanks
etc.) to prevent contamination.
