The agrochemicals application has become a largely used pratice by farmers in order to achieve higher and economical production. As it is a work that can bring risks to the human being, environment and crops as well, Jacto has always been concerned with the proper use of its spraying machineries in an efficient and safe way.
- Keep away children, aged people and animals while operating, servicing this sprayer and even when the sprayer is stored. - In the delivery of your sprayer, have your Jacto dealer instruct you on the assembly, operation, maintenance and warranty in detail.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS HANDLING CHEMICALS Chemical products are classified in four categories of toxicity. According to their toxicity level, there is a special recommendation of appropriate protective equipment. As your safety concerns first, we list below all the protective equipment recommended for handling chemical products of the category 1 which includes high toxicity level chemicals.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DECALS Safety decals are placed on the equipment to reduce the risk of damages or accidents to the operator or to the equipment during the use. Before operating the equipment, identify and understand the mean of all decals, through this page.

MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER Your sprayer may be equipped with Jacto VAR or Masterflow control valve. Identify it in the drawings below and proceed as directed. V.A.R. CONTROL VALVE (CONDOR: M-12/75 / S-12/75 / EM/75 / S-EM/75 / 800 B-12/75 / BX- 12-75) This is a two-stage pressure regulator that provides greater sensibility in the calibrations.
MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER AGS SINGLE NOZZLE HOLDER CONDOR: M-12/75 / S-12/75 / 800 B-12/75 / BX-12/75 / BX-12/75 MF The AGS single nozzle holder AGS is mounted with a ceramic cone nozzle (M-12/75 / S-12/75 / 800 B-12/75) or stainless steel cone nozzle (BX-12/75 / BX-12/75 MF). It has a nondrip valve which shuts the flow off when the pressure drops to 10 psi, thus preventing it from dripping.
MAIN OF COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER FOAM MARKER (OPTIONAL) This accessory is specifically designed to mark off the application band width with foam so as to prevent overlaps and skips when spraying back. The ideal conditions for using the foam marker are the same for spraying, that is: - Cool weather;...
MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER LINE FILTER (OPTIONAL) JACTO also offers line filters for the spray circuit of boom sprayer. For each boom section there is a filter to be assembled on the pressure line. This filter has 80-mesh screen and optimize the filtration to the nozzles.
MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER FILLING WITH FILLING DEVICE (MODEL EJ-250) Put 50 liters of water into the tank. Remove the plastic cap of the primary valve (2) and set the lever to the filling position. Connect the filling device hose (1) to the primary valve (2). Place the filling device (3) in the water source and the end of its hose in the tank filling opening.
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES Sprayer type Stage Procedure Trailer 3 point Use individual protective clothing ........Do not work at high speeds ..........Spraying Do not spray against the wind ......... Do not travel with booms lifted or unlocked ..... Take care with electricity supply cables ......Do not eat, drink or smoke while spraying .......
CHOOSING THE IDEAL TRACTOR CHOOSING THE TRACTOR CONSIDERING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM LIFT CAPACITY The tractor should have lift capacity above the sum of the sprayer net weight (sprayer with empty tank) plus the weight equivalent to the tank capacity. CONDOR M-12/75 / S-12/75 / BX/75 & EM/75 (600 liters) Sprayer net weight ......
SETTING UP TRACTOR ADJUSTING PARTS TO HITCH TO THE TRACTOR'S THREE-POINT SUSPENSION ATTENTION: The instruction below is an example of what should be done for properly hitching the sprayer to the tractor's three-point suspension. To exemplify we have used the Ford 4600 tractor; so proceed as directed in the operator's manual of your tractor.
Page 23
SETTING UP TRACTOR - ADJUSTING PARTS TO HITCH TO THE TRACTOR'S THREE-POINT SUSPENSION THIRD POINT FRAME The third point frame has two positions (1 and 2) to install the third arm and two positions to install the frame lower pin. Thus there are four different positions for this assembly.
CONNECTING THE SPRAYER - Remove or set aside the tractor drawbar. drawbar - Mount the sprayer to the tractor three- point suspension and level it as shown in the figure beside. - Adjust the tractor hydraulic lift lever so that the sprayer is not raised too high.
ASSEMBLING THE BOOMS ASSEMBLING THE BOOMS (CONDOR: M-12/75 / S-12/75 / 800 B-12/75) Assemble the booms on the sprayer (detail C). Install the stabilizing rope and level the booms through the chain to be fastened to the frame (detail A). Tighten the lifting rope on the frame (detail A).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS SPRAY APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY A successful spray application does not depend only on a good sprayer or correct use of the chemicals but also on factors to be determined in the field under specialized orientation. Among these factors, some concepts should be part of a criterion of evaluation so that positive results may be attained within the pest control program.
OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS V.A.R. CONTROL VALVE CONDOR: M-12/75 / S-12/75 / 800 B-12/75 / EM/75 / S-EM/75 / BX-12/75 This is a two-stage pressure regulator which provides great sensitiveness in the calibrations. The first stage is for calibration from 0.7 to 4.2 kg/cm² (10 to 60 psi), normally used for spraying herbicides.
Page 29
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS PRESSURE REGULATOR MASTERLOW CONTROL VALVE (CONDOR BX-12/75 MF / PJ-600 BX-10 MF) This pressure regulator provides great sensitiviness and precision to the calibrations. It has two basic functional characteristics in relation to the conventional control valves. 1. FLOW RATE PROPORTIONAL TO TRAVEL The spray volume per area sprayed remains constant even if the tractor speed fluctuates in a same gear.
Page 30
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS MASTERFLOW CONTROL VALVE To calibrate each boom section, proceed as follows: 01.Run the sprayer and open the flow to all boom sections. 02.Set the relief lever (1) to the P (pressure) position. 03.Set the levers (2), (3), (4) and (5) to point downward. 04.Check the pressure indicated by the pressure gauge.
Metal, plastic and glass containers must be rinsed for decontamination. To facilitate this important operation , Jacto has installed on its trailed sprayers a suitable device that rinses internally the containers with pressurized water, eliminating most of the residues.
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS - Hold the chemical container over the rinse nozzle and pull the directional valve lever to wash inside the container. NOTE: With the chemical container over the rinse nozzle, make circular movements to reach all internal walls of the chemical container with the water jet for around 30 seconds.
