Adding Chemicals to the
Product Tank
Chemicals are added to the Product Tank
using the:
• Chemical Induction Hopper (granular &
liquid)
• Chemical Probe (liquid only).
Before adding chemical to the Product tank,
at least 500 litres of clean water must be in the
Product Tank - required to ensure the Product
Pump operates to create the venturi effect
required for transfer fluid from the Chemical
Induction Hopper to the Product Tank and to
ensure adequate agitation when chemical is
added.
All functions for adding chemicals require the
Cruiser to be safely parked in an appropriate
area with the engine running.
Wear the necessary protective clothing and use the
required safety equipment to avoid exposure to chemicals.
