The pump will draw liquid from the tank and bypass 
this until such time as you open the manual taps and 
flick the main lever on the manual control unit to the 
open position. Refer to the section below AR UCM 
controller operation. 

Once the boom taps and master on/off lever on 
the manual control unit are in the open position, 
the nozzles should spray. Using the rotary pressure 
relief valve knob, you can now adjust the pressure 
to the recommended spraying pressure by rotating 
the PRV knob. Anti-clockwise rotation will reduce 
the pressure; clockwise rotation will increase the 
pressure. Using the pressure gauge on the control 
unit, you can determine the spraying pressure. For 
most boom-spraying jobs, a pressure between 1 
and 5 bar (30 to 70 psi) is the norm. The AirMix™ 
low-drift nozzles can be safely operated within a 
1-6 bar pressure range, but note that the Spray 
Quality will be influenced by your spraying pressure.

For more information on Spray Quality, you can 
access the Croplands Buyers Guide on line 
and check the chart for AirMix™ nozzles – this 
information is in the nozzle section.

Most chemical labels advise the application 
rate and spray quality for the product being 
used. Youmay wish to discuss this with your local  
agronomist if you are unsure.

If you have electric controls or an Auto-Rate spray 
controller fitted to you AgriPak linkage sprayer, 
please refer to the Croplands manual relevant to the 
model you have purchased to learn how to use this 
prior to start up. Croplands Technical support can 
also be contacted should you need assistance (see 
back page for contact details)

Flushing tank – standard on 300, 600 and 

800 litre models

A 3-way ball valve is provided on the suction line to 
allow the operator to select suction from either the 
main spray tank, or the fresh-water flushing tank.

              CAUTION

Never use the fresh water flushing or 

handwash tank for chemical use. These 

tanks are designed specifically for 

holding fresh water for either flushing the 

sprayer, or in the case of the hand-wash 

tank, for the operator to use for cleaning 

hands or the suction filter in the field.

To flush the sprayer in the field after spraying, shut 

off the boom using the liquid controls, stop the PTO 

and leave the boom in the unfolded operating 

position. Using the ball valve, select the fresh water 

flush tank. Climb back into the tractor cab, start the 

PTO and open the manual or electric control to 

allow fresh water to flow through the spraying circuit 

and the nozzles. If you have remaining spray left in 

the main tank, flush only for one to two minutes to 

flush the pump and boom lines. 

If you have finished your spraying job and the 

main tank is empty, you can flush the system for 5 

minutes, or until the flushing tank is empty, to ensure 

the system is thoroughly flushed with fresh water. It 

is recommended to do this in the field so that any 

chemical residue is deposited in the area you have 

been spraying to avoid continual deposits back at 

the spray shed site. 

A thorough tank clean once back at the shed is 

recommended if you have finished your spray 

job. Always drain the main tank when finished. To 

avoid algae build up in the fresh water tanks, it is 

recommended these also be drained and refilled 
just prior to the next spraying job. 

This will ensure your AgriPak sprayer is ready to go 
prior to its next use. To clean the filters:

 

»

 Ensure the shut-off tap is in the “off” position, or 
the shut off plug is removed from the filter housing

 

»

 Remove the filter element from the housing by 
undoing the main filter housing nut

 

»

 Clean the filter element with fresh water (note, 
if the suction filter does become blocked during 
spraying, this can be cleaned in the field by using 
the handwash tank 

 

»

 If a pressure filter is fitted (normally if the sprayer 
has electric controls fitted), also remove the filter 
cartridge and clean with fresh water

 

»

 Inspect the nozzle filters, at least one from each 
boom section, and if required, clean these in fresh 
water. The nozzles filters are up inside the nozzle 
body and can be accessed by removing the 
nozzle cap. If care has been taken to have clean 
water used for spraying, and the suction filter is 
kept clean, the nozzle filters should not block.

 
After and extended time of non-use, it is 
recommended you check the filters before your next 
spray job. Often spiders or wasps can get into the 
filter housing. 

NOTE

Always use gloves when handling filters. 

NOTE

Always clean the filters when your 

spraying job is completed.
