During work (driving), use lift and levelling to set position of spraying equipment. Other functions
should be used at tractor standstill. Use switches for opening and closing to check openness of
hydraulic cylinders and ensure rigidness of equipment. Release of cylinders occurs due to air in the
system or poor sealing of hydraulic components.
12.5.2
CLOSING OF SPRAYING EQUIPMENT
Equipment must first be raised to starting position of activation of mechanism with wheel. Use
hydraulic levelling to align it, so that it is parallel to the sprayer, and activate block. Closing of
spraying equipment is done in reverse order as opening. At the end, release spraying equipment on
mechanical safeties of sprayer, shut off block and control panel. Sprayer is ready for transport.
12.5.3
WORK WITH SPRAYING EQUIPMENT
Drive the tractor to starting point of spraying. Open spraying equipment (see chapter "12.5.1"). Be
careful of safety of others.
During spraying, avoid sudden braking, especially when the equipment is partially open.
At the end of the field or parcel, make sure that you turn around safely. While turning, regard the
length of open equipment and arch, done while turning. If there is road traffic along the field or parcel,
be extremely careful on other participants. If turning is not possible, abort spraying, close the spraying
equipment and turn the tractor with closed spraying equipment.
12.5.4
WORK WITH CLOSED BOOMS ON ONE SIDE
In case of using spraying equipment with booms closed on one side, you must first activate block, lift
equipment in position of activation of mechanism with wheel, open first booms of equipment
(mechanical safeties against opening of booms in transport position). Now open the booms on desired
side. Use hydraulic levelling to adjust spraying equipment. Begin spraying process.
WARNING: Always activate block first and then open first booms. This releases
mechanical safeties against opening booms in transport position!
WARNING: During opening and closing of spraying equipment, nobody is allowed
to be in the working area!
