Filling Powder Chemicals Using The Turbofiller - Hardi COMMANDER DELTA FORCE Instruction Book

Filling Powder Chemicals Using the TurboFiller

1. Fill the main tank at least 1/2 with water (unless otherwise stated
on the chemical container label). See section "Filling of water".
2. Turn the handle of the suction valve towards "Main tank".
Turn pressure SmartValve towards "Pressure draining/TurboFiller".
Turn the agitation valve towards "agitation" as required: A fully
open agitation valve will result in very little suction from the
TurboFiller; a fully closed agitation valve will result in no agitation,
while the powder is being transferred into the tank, resulting in
poor mixing. Choose your own setting for this valve.
Close remaining valves.
μ
ATTENTION! For increased suction from the TurboFiller the agitation valve can be kept closed.
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 the 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 max. 540 rpm or 1000 rpm (depending on pump model).
4. Open TurboFiller lid. Open TurboDeflector valve and TurboFiller suction valve.
5. Measure the correct amount of powdered chemical and sprinkle it into the hopper as fast as the transfer device can
flush it down. 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 completely empty the transfer hoses 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!
€
DANGER! Always wear face shield and other appropriate personal safety equipment, when filling chemicals.
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 upper lever to the left of the TurboFiller.
€
DANGER! In order to avoid spray liquid hitting the operator, do not press 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. Always rinse the
chemical containers with clean water several times, until they are clean before disposal.
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 completely empty the transfer hoses 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 TurboFiller suction valve, when the hopper has been rinsed. Close the lid.
