The operator must:
a
.
Shake the mixture
in the tank before starting the treatment, re-circulating it completely for as
long as it takes to make it homogeneous.
b
.
Check
the orientation of the distributors (hands and/or cannons) of the distribution device
(sprayhead) in relation to the dimensions, the shape and the thickness of the vegetation to be
treated.
c
. Continue to shake the mixture until the treatment is resumed should the intervention momentarily
be interrupted. If the utilisation is to be deferred, check that the filter cartridge is clean before
resuming and
agitate the mixture
that has remained in the tank.
d
. Ensure that the hand wash supplementary tank is filled with clean water after each filling operation.
e
. Make use of individual protections identical to those envisaged for the preparation of mixtures if
the tractor is not equipped with a pressurised cabin with aeration filters.
f
. Wash immediately all the elements that might have become contaminated during the treatment,
promptly remove the polluted garments and
interrupt the work if these cannot be immedia-
tely replaced.
g
. Keep to the preliminary operations already indicated (10.1.c), in case of wind conditions prevailing.
h.
During the breaks, stop the engine, remove the key from the grape harvester’s control panel.
i
.
Pay particular attention to the treatment when close to boundaries and in proximity of dwellings,
waterways, roads or public-usage paths.
10.4 - PROCEDURE TO WASH THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
(head-pump)
Every time it is necessary to suspend the treatment, it is possible to carry out the
hydraulic circuit washing process, independently on the loading conditions, i.e.,
also when the tank is still containing some product mixture, so avoiding any
possible clogging and assuring the perfect efficiency of the machine when the
treatment is carried on again.
In case of prolonged idle periods, it is recommended to keep the mixture agitated
(see Chapter 9).
In order to carry out the hydraulic circuit washing process, follow the instructions here specified:
a
. Close the pressure regulator completely, by rotating the hand regulator (P5) handle clockwise or
by turning the pressure up (keep the joystick on “+” for about 15 seconds) if the atomizer is provided
with electric regulator (E5).
b
. In case the main tank still contains some mixture to spray CLOSE the valve (P24), so the water of the
spray-line rinsing circuit can not back into the main tank by varying the concentration of the mixture used.
CAUTION: in versions with 2 pumps, in case the main tank is empty, DO NOT CLOSE
the valve (P24) to prevent that the 2nd pump runs dry causing the defect of the
mechanical seal.
c
. Open the cock (P15), by setting it to position “2”; in that way the clean water contained inside the
unit-washing tank is sucked by the pump (P4) and gets into the hydraulic circuit.
