Reading the instruction manual and to adhere to it should not appear to be in- con-venient and superfluous as it is not enough to hear from others and to realise that a machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now everything would work by itself.

Product description Filter equipment Only if the spray mixture is thoroughly filtered can a trouble free operation of the sprayer, espe- cially of the nozzles be ensured and thus the filter influences considerably the success of the treat- ment. Therefore always use all filters provided and check their function through regular mainte- nance.
Product description 3.6.2 Self cleaning the pressure filter of The pressure filter (Fig. 15/ 1) has a larger number of meshes per inch than the suction filter insert in the filter tap. This way the undesirable large particles that still remain in the spray liquid are filtered off protect- ing the nozzle filters in the spray nozzles.

Putting into operation Example : In case the spray pressure has been set to 3.2 bar, spray pressures between 2.4 and 4.0 bar are per- missible. At no time, however, should the maximum permissible pressure range of the nozzles fitted be exceeded.
Putting into operation 7.3.4 Setting the spray rate [l/ha] The spray rate depends on: The liquid delivery of the nozzles [l/min]. The nozzle size and the spray pressure influence the delivery of the nozzle. The spray pressure to be set is taken from the spray table depending on the type of nozzle and size.
Putting into operation 7.3.4.2 Set the spray pressure Pre-condition for a correct spray pres- sure setting is to start with a correctly set equal pressure control chest. Turn On/Off-switch (Fig. 36/1) for the power sup- ply to position "I" (EIN) (only with control units "electrically remote controlled with switch box).
