Before returning to refill the sprayer
If the sprayer is to be refilled at the farm or at a fixed filling place without a filling space with hard surface and drain to closed
reservoir, the sprayer should be rinsed before returning to refill.
Dilute the residues of the spraying circuit, and spray it on the crop. Then rinse the sprayer on the outside with the External
Cleaning Device before returning to the farm.

WARNING! Always follow local legislation in force at any time.
Agitation before resuming a spray job
If a spray job has been interrupted for a while, severe sedimentation may
occur depending on the chemicals being used. Before resuming the
spray job, it might be necessary to agitate sedimented material first.
1. Turn the handle at the suction valve to “Suction from main tank”.
Turn the pressure SmartValve handle to an unused function and
turn the Agitation valve to “Agitation”.
2. Engage the pump and set P.T.O. revolutions to recommended
pump r.p.m.
3. Agitation will start and should be continued for at least 10 minutes.
4. Once the chemicals are mixed, spraying can resume. Turn pressure SmartValve to “Spraying” and start spraying.
Parking the sprayer
To avoid spot contamination the sprayer should always be parked at either the washing/filling place or under a roof to avoid
rainfall washing chemical residues from the sprayer's surfaces.
• Parking at the washing/filling location will retain residues.
• Always park the machine out of reach of children, animals or unauthorized persons.
