C: Rinsing When Main Tank Is Not Empty
This procedure is used to rinse the pump, operating unit, spray lines, etc. in case of stopping the spray job before the main
tank is empty (e.g. at the beginning of rain, etc.).
Cleaning of the liquid system:
1.
Turn Suction SmartValve to “Rinsing tank”. (Keep pressure SmartValve in “Spraying”-position).
÷
NOTE! The main ON/OFF function on the grip must be ON. Closing the main ON/OFF will transfer the rinse water back
to the main tank!
2.
Close agitation valve (no agitation).
3.
Turn off the CycloneFilter Boost Valve to avoid dilution of main tank content.

Engage and set the pump to approximately 560 rpm and spray water from the rinsing tank into the field, until all boom
pipes and nozzles are flushed with clean water.
5.
Turn off the pump when rinsing is finished.
˜
ATTENTION! It is advisable to increase the forward speed (double if possible) and reduce the spray pressure to 20 psi
(1.5 bar) when spraying diluted spray liquid in the field just sprayed.
˜
ATTENTION! If a cleaning procedure is given on the chemical label, follow it closely.
