INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
AGS 400-1200 EN
Rev.12/2018
89
When cleaning the sprayer use appropriate protection clothes. Choose appropriate detergents for
cleaning and, if necessary, appropriate insecticide neutralising agents (see recommendations of the
insecticide manufacturer).
In the case you are using a mixture of detergent and water for cleaning, pour it into the main reservoir,
close the main valve on the pressure regulator, turn on the pump, open the direction control valve for
mixing, open the self-cleaning filter valve and only after few minutes open the direction control valves
of the nozzles. Be careful when choosing the place for releasing of the cleaning agent. Some detergents
become active only after few minutes, so the cleaning process can be slightly longer (see instructions
of the manufacturer).
After cleaning the sprayer with a detergent, fill at least 1/5 of the tank with clean water and repeat the
cleaning process. Make sure that you have cleaned all elements that have come in contact with the
insecticide or the detergent.
Make sure that you have precisely cleaned all filters. Be careful not to damage the fabric on the filter
insert while cleaning filters. If the filter insert is damaged, replace it with a new one. (A more precise
description about cleaning of the pressure filter can be found in the chapter 7.5 and 7.5.1).
At the end of the cleaning process, clean all nozzles. Nozzles can be cleaned only by means of a soft
brush, compressed air or water. You can damage the nozzle when cleaning it with a hard item.

pump, sieves, selection valves, nozzles, etc.). When the cleaning is done make sure that there is no
water left in the valves, the filters, the pump, the nozzles, etc. Do not maintain the sprayer until it has
not been thoroughly cleaned.
