Filling Through Tank Lid; External Filling Device - Hardi COMMANDER DELTA FORCE Instruction Book

Filling Through Tank Lid

Water is filled into the main tank by removing the big tank lid, which is located at the top of the sprayer, 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.
The water supply line should be provided with a check valve as
additional safety precaution. Follow local legislation in force at
any time.
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 (if installed) is operated as follows:
1. Remove the cap and connect a suction hose to the suction
manifold.
2. Turn pressure SmartValve to "Main tank".
3. Turn suction SmartValve to "External Filling Device".
4. Activate agitation valve.
5. Activate external filling valve.
6. Engage the pump and set PTO revolutions at max. 540 rpm or 1000
rpm depending on pump model.
7. The tank is now filled with water. Keep an eye on the liquid level
indicator.
8. Turn handle on suction manifold away from Filling Device to discontinue filling process. Now disengage the pump.
9. Disconnect suction hose and replace the cap.
€
DANGER! Prevent contamination or injury. Do not open suction valve towards the 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.
