WARNING! If the sprayer is put aside with liquid in the main tank all MANIFOLD valves must be closed.
WARNING! Do not let the filling hose enter the tank. Keep it outside the tank, pointing towards the filling hole. If
the hose is lead into the tank and the water pressure drops at the water supply plant, chemicals may be syphoned
back and contaminate the water supply lines, plant and well.
Tank should normally be filled 1/3 with water before adding chemi-
cals. Always follow instructions given on the chemical container!
Water is filled into the tank by removing the tank lid located at front
of sprayer tank which is accessible from platform. It is recommended
to use as clean water as possible for spraying purposes. Always fill
water through the strainer basket to prevent foreign particles from
entering the tank. An overhead tank can be used in order to obtain
high filling capacity.

1. Remove cover and connect suction hose.
2. Turn handle on pressure SmartValve towards Main tank and hand-
le on suction SmartValve towards Main tank.

model), then turn external suction handle towards external suction
to start filling.
