1.
Make sure the spray control unit is switched off.
2.
Turn the suction SmartValve handle to “Suction from main tank”.
Turn the pressure SmartValve handle to an unused function. Turn
the Agitation valve to “Agitation”.

Engage the pump and set P.T.O. revolutions to 1000 rpm.

When the spray liquid is well mixed, leave the suction SmartValve
