11.8 Residues
There are three types of residue:

excessive residue remaining in the spray liquid tank when the
spraying operation is finished

This excessive residue is discharged diluted or pumped-out and
disposed of.

the technical residue that remains in the spray liquid tank, the
suction chest and the spray line when the spray pressure drops
off by 25%
The suction chest is composed of the suction filter, pump and
pressure controller sub-assemblies. Observe the values for the
technical residues given on page 107.

This technical residue is discharged diluted onto the field while
cleaning the field sprayer.

The final residue that remains in the spray liquid tank, the suc-
tion chest and the spray line after being cleaned with air dis-
charge from the nozzles.

This final diluted residue is drained off after cleaning.
Disposing of residues

Make sure that the residue in the spray line continues to be spra-
yed in an undiluted concentration. Always spray this residue on
an untreated area. The distance needed to use up this undiluted
residue can be found in the section "Technical Data - spray
lines", page 107. The residue contained in the spray line is de-
pendent on the sprayer boom working width.

To spray out the spray liquid tank until it is empty, switch off the
agitator when the residue in the spray liquid tank is only 5% of
the nominal volume. When the agitator is switched on, the tech-
nical residue is higher than the specified values.

Measures intended for the user's protection apply when
emptying residues. Observe the instructions of the crop
protection product manufacturer and wear suitable personal
protective equipment.
Formula for calculating the required distance in [m] for spraying
out the undiluted residue in the spray line
Required distance [m] =
Undiluted residue [l] x 10,000 [m 2 /ha]
Spray rate [l/ha] x working width [m]
