INTRODUCTION Micron Weed Management (MWM) S-Dome+ equipment is designed for the precision application of weed control products at low spray volumes and reduced risk of drift. The spray is normally shielded, and each spray head incorporates low volume rotary atomisers for CDA (Controlled Droplet Application). MWM equipment is designed primarily for the application of weed control products in bush and tree crops.

Use Caution and reduce speed when manoeuvring a vehicle with mounted equipment. The equipment may obscure the visibility to others of vehicle mounted warning marks, beacons and lights. The equipment may obscure vehicle mounted lighting. Ensure that vehicle lights are visible when in transit. Ensure the working area has sufficient light for safe operation.
2.1 Mechanical and electrical hazards The main mechanical hazards when using MWM spray equipment are risk of entrapment to fingers and limbs from moving parts. Warning signs are located at points of potential injury. As sprayers operate on a low voltage 12V system that does NOT present a significant risk from electrical shock.
2.5 Drift reduction measures The S-Dome+ units are fitted with shields (domes) low to the ground making them less susceptible to spray drift than unshielded spray nozzles. Wind tunnel studies in the UK have indicated drift reductions more than 90% over conventional unshielded sprayers with the Micron Weed Management range and hence these are suitable as a Drift Reducing Technology (DRT) Spray heads must always maintain close contact with the ground (25-50 mm...
INSTALLATION The tank system should be regulated to an output pressure of approximately 0,5 bar (7,5 psi). The tank system must include an inline filter of 50 mesh size (blue ISO19732). The CDA spinning disc atomisers are used with a flow gauge with adjustable trimmer for each atomiser to regulate flow according to vehicle speed, application volume and band width.
3.2 CDA Atomisers There are 3 versions of rotary atomisers, depending on the shield and size: 1- S-Flex and S-Dome 1200, 900, 600: bandwidth 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 m (3000 rpm) 2- S-Flex and S-Dome 400: Sector atomiser, bandwidth 0.4 m (4000 rpm). 3- Center Dome (1524 and 3049): bandwidth 1.5-2.4m and 3-4.8m (3000rpm).

The spray shield should be between 25 mm and 50 mm from the ground when spraying. Ensure that the breakaway can operate freely without touching the vehicle. The mounting or coupling of the main structure (chassis) to the vehicle can be carried out by means of the three-point linkage or trailer coupling.

3.3.2 Electrical diagram Depending on the number of heads and actuators supplied on your machine, you will find different numbers of connectors: Electrical wiring connection diagram 3.4 Tank system It is recommended to always use the Micron Weed Management tank systems. Refer to the instructions supplied with the tank system.
3.5 Information on flow control Flow control for the rotary atomisers on the CDA units is achieved using a flowmeter with adjustable trimmer to regulate flow rate. The liquid flow lifts a ball on the gauge and indicates the flow on a graduated scale. To the rear of each flowmeter is a 6 mm push fit fitting on the upper outlet to connect the feed hose to each individual atomiser...
3.6 Transport When transporting the sprayer on public highways it is the responsibility of the operator to ensure the implement and tanking system can be safely moved and all road regulations complied with. When transporting the sprayer, operators must lift all interception boom units to their highest position and lock them with the locking bolt unit.
GETTING READY FOR SPRAYING 4.1 Pre-spray inspection The user must ensure the tank system is in good condition before attempting any spraying operation. Operators must ensure they comply with any local or national regulations for the inspection of spraying equipment. Check for structural defects such as broken or cracked components.

1- Check that the drain valve is closed. 2- Check that the selector valve is set to "product". 3- Open the filler cap. 4- Visually inspect the filter. Remove and clean the filter if you notice any signs of clogging or contamination. Replace the filter if any damage is observed.
Page 28
5- With the filter in place, add approximately 5 l (1.5 US gal) of clean water to the spray mix tank. 6- Close the filler cap and check that it is properly fitted. 7- Connect the spray equipment to the flow control panel. See the connection order we recomend in the picture below: 8- Open the flowmeters to maximum.
Page 29
9- Close the regulating valve. 10- Turn on the main switch of the machine, located on the electronics (see picture on the left). 11-Start the pump (turn the main switch on the controller to ON) and check that the fluid flows through the system. When this main switch is activated, the BLUE LED will flash.
MIXING, FILLING AND CALIBRATION 5.1 Calculating Mixing Rates Read the safety instruction at the beginning of this document before handling chemicals. Always carefully read and follow the handling instructions supplied by the chemical manufacturer. Wear face shield or eye Wear protective Wear gloves Hand wash protection...
5.2 Flow rate of spraying CDA atomisers require very low flow rates, between 100 and 300 milliliters per minute for each atomiser. Refer to the spray equipment instructions for further information on setting flow rates. The flow rate per atomiser/nozzle is calculated using the following formula: Note: For this formula the International System of Units (SI) must be used.
5.3 LANDROOTER wizard The main function of the herbicide mix LANDROOTER WIZARD is to facilitate calculations and optimize the amount of prepared mixture, so you do not have to waste product. It is also necessary to use it since it will give us information about the flow to use during the treatment.
5.4 Preparing the Spray Mix 1- Only prepare sufficient spray mix for the required spray operation. Use LANDROOTER WIZARD (see section 5.3) as a help for calculating the needed spray mix. 2- Check the calibration and operating parameters against the instructions supplied with the spraying equipment.
Page 34
9- Check that the selector valve is set to "product". 10- Unscrew the filler cap of the main tank. 11-Visually inspect the filter. Remove and clean the filter if you notice any signs of clogging or contamination. Replace the filter if any damage is observed.
16- Open the regulating valve so that the entire pump flow returns to the tank and switch on the pump. Liquid returning to the tank causes agitation of the mixture. The agitation will vary depending on the volume of liquid returning to the tank. Agitation is usually sufficient for all applications, including powders in solution.
5.5.1 Measuring the flow rate (CDA atomiser) Once the equipment is inspected for any leaks the measuring of the flow rate must be done before starting spraying. Follow the following steps: 1- With the equipment in running, activate the spray switch on the remote control. 2- Open the flowmeters to the maximum and adjust the pressure to 0,25 bar (3,63PSI) using the return to tank valve.
SPRAYING 6.1 Spraying process Wear face shield or Wear protective Wear gloves Hand wash eye protection clothing. After "preparing for use" (section 4) and "mixing, filling and calibration" (section 5). Continue with the following steps: 1- Use the master switch located on the electronics to switch on the unit (see picture right).
6.2 Alarm indicator for system malfunction 1- PUMP ALARM AND ATOMISER ALARM: If the GREEN LED flashes, this may indicate a pump or spray motor fault. Or that another pump (different from the one supplied with the equipment) is being used. The Landrooter App will show us on the cell phone the reason for the failure by means of a red landmark.
CLEANING Wear eye Wear protective Wear gloves Hand wash protection clothing. When spray is complete rinse out the spray lines, pump and atomiser/nozzles with clean water and spray out any washings onto the treated area or a suitable non crop area. Do not exceed maximum dose rates. Wash down any contaminated surfaces with clean water and detergent in a secure area or biobed where washings are retained and cannot enter waterways or drain into adjacent areas.
MAINTENANCE Micron Weed Management (MWM) spraying equipment will require routine maintenance; the user should regularly inspect the equipment for damage or wear and replace any damaged or significantly worn items immediately. Any moving parts should be lubricated with a suitable good quality lubricant. Always flush through pump, hoses and atomisers/nozzles with clean water after spraying to avoid nozzle blockages.
8.3 Service and inspection intervals Item Action Frequency Remove and Clean. Start of each season and during Nozzle as required. Check flow rate. Atomiser disc or Start of each season and during drum and Remove and Clean. as required. recirculation cap Remove and clean contact.
