Filling Liquid Chemicals By Using Hardi Turbofiller - Hardi COMMANDER DELTA FORCE Instruction Book

Filling Liquid Chemicals by using HARDI TurboFiller

÷
NOTE! We advice to use the TurboFiller, when you fill chemicals from an external tank.
1. Fill the main tank at least 1/3 with water (unless otherwise stated
on the chemical container label).
2. Turn the handle of the suction valve towards "suction from Main
tank". Turn pressure SmartValve towards "Pressure
draining/TurboFiller". Close the AgitationValve.
μ
ATTENTION! If filling water from an external tank, this can be
continued while doing the next steps.
€
DANGER! Before turning Pressure SmartValve to "Pressure draining/TurboFiller" it is very important to be sure that the
quick coupler lid is correct and completely mounted to the filling stud into its locked position. Failure to do so may
cause risk of contamination and injury from quick coupler lid being "shot" off when pressurized! If not possible to
mount lid completely, lubricate the rubber seal and the grip hooks.
3. Engage the pump and set PTO speed at 540 rpm or 1000 rpm (depending on pump model).
4. Open TurboFiller lid. Measure the correct quantity of chemical and fill it into the hopper.
€
DANGER! Always wear face shield and other appropriate personal safety equipment, when filling chemicals.
μ
ATTENTION! The scale in the hopper can only be used, if the sprayer is parked on level ground! It is recommended to
use a measuring jug for best accuracy.
5. Engage the hopper transfer device by opening the TurboFiller suction valve to transfer chemicals to the main tank.
The TurboFiller suction valve must be open for at least 20 seconds after the chemical is no longer visible in the hopper,
in order to empty the transfer hoses completely into the main tank.
€
DANGER! If the TurboFiller and the transfer hoses are not completely emptied, there is a risk of chemicals being
sucked out of the main tank!
6. If the chemical container is empty, it can be rinsed by the Chemical Container Cleaning device. Place the container
over the multi-hole nozzle and push the container for cleaning.
€
DANGER! In order to avoid spray liquid hitting the operator, do not press the lever, unless the multi-hole nozzle is
covered by a container, as spray liquid may otherwise hit the operator!
μ
ATTENTION! The rinsing device uses spray liquid to rinse containers for concentrated chemicals. Before disposal,
always rinse the chemical containers with clean water several times, until they are clean.
7. Flush the TurboFiller with clean water from the rinsing tank or from an external tank by shifting to suction. The
TurboFiller suction valve must be open for at least 20 seconds after the rinse water is no longer visible in the hopper,
in order to empty the transfer hoses completely into the main tank.
μ
ATTENTION! If not flushed with clean water, the hopper rinsing device uses spray liquid for rinsing the hopper!
Cleaning the TurboFiller must always be done, when the spray job is ended, and together with cleaning the entire
sprayer. A cleaning after the last filling, and before spraying, does not ensure a clean TurboFiller!
8. Close the TurboFiller suction valve, when the hopper has been rinsed. Close the lid.
9. Turn the AgitationValve towards "Agitation".
μ
ATTENTION: If foaming is a problem, turn down the agitation.
10. When the spray liquid is well agitated, turn handle of the pressure
SmartValve towards "Spraying" position. Keep the PTO engaged for
continuous agitation during spraying of the crop.
