3.0 INFORMATION ON THE MACHINE
3.1 INTENDED USE
The machine has been designed exclusively for the distribution of
pesticides and plant protection products.
The machines are divided into the following models:
• EXPO T (Pic. 18)
• FUTURA AVANT (Pic.24 page 29)
• FUTURA JET (Pic.19)
• FUTURA RM/POST (Pic. 18)
• FUTURA TGZ AVANT (Pic. 20)
• FUTURA CANNONE (Pic. 21)
• FUTURA SIRENE (Pic. 22)
The purpose of these machines is to atomise the active mixture in
aqueous solution and convey it to the crop to be treated through
suitable pressure nozzles or with the aid of a pressurised air draft.
In models with air generation, pulverisation is assisted by an air
flow produced by a fan, conveyed in suitable apparatuses that
accompany the droplets on the target area to be treated. This flow
of air improves penetration in the leaf canopy and protects from the
action of the wind, limiting drift. The machine might not be suited for
work in areas subject to acoustic restrictions; in which case refer
to the council regulations concerning times and allowed sound
emissions.The machines with cannon fan unit can only be used for
treatments in greenhouses, use in the open field is not possible,
unless set forth otherwise by local provisions.
The machine has been designed and constructed to operate in
the open and in agricultural areas. We recommend performing the
treatment in the early hours of the morning or in the last hours of
the evening, avoiding the hottest hours of the day. Never perform
the treatment if the weather threatens rain or if it actually rains.
Do not perform the treatment in the presence of strong winds or
anyway higher than 3/5 mt per second. If forced to treat with wind
regardless, use relatively low pressures to obtain rather large, less
drift-sensitive drops (hardly transportable by the wind).
The atomiser is intended for agricultural use. Possible fields of use
are:vineyards-orchards and arboreal cultivations in rows and, if
equipped with cannon, also cultivations on land in protected areas
(greenhouses).
ATTENTION
Only models approved for road circulation (Italy) may
circulate on public roads (see chapter 4.0 “HANDLING
AND TRANSPORT”).
ATTENTION
DANGER OF PHYSICAL CONTACT OR INGESTION OF
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
POTENTIAL SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH
Any use of the machine different than that indicated
above must be considered unauthorised and dangerous.
The machine has been designed for the distribution of
chemicals potentially hazardous for man and environ-
ment. Pay the utmost attention in all operative stages in
order to prevent any dispersal of the product.
ATTENTION
The manufacturer is not responsible for the damage
caused by incorrect assessment of the place of move-
ment or use.
