Using the machine
10.3 Filling with water
WARNING
Danger for people and animals from accidental contact with
spray liquid while filling of the spray liquid tank is underway.
•
When filling the spray liquid tank using a mains water supply,
never allow the filling hose and the contents of the spray liquid
tank to come into direct contact. This is the only way to prevent
spray liquid from being sucked or pushed into the mains supply.
→
Secure the end of the filling hose at least 10 cm above the filling
opening on the spray liquid tank. The free flow which this cre-
ates offers the absolute maximum levels of safety against the
backflow of spray liquid into the mains water supply.
•
Avoid the formation of froth. No froth should escape from the
spray liquid tank during filling. A large-cross-section funnel ex-
tending down the base of the spray liquid tank is an effective ob-
stacle to the formation of froth.
•
Only fill the spray liquid tank using a used filling sieve.
The least dangerous way is to carry out filling at the side of the field
from the water tank (where possible making use of the natural lie of
the land). Depending on the type of spraying agent used, this type of
filling is not permitted in water protection zones. Always enquire with
the "low water authority".
