RinseTank 

A rinsing tank can beis mounted at the right siderear of the sprayer. The tank is made of impact-proof and chemical resistant 
polyethylene.

Filling is done via the 1” threaded stud placed in the working area. The rinsing tank level indicator is placed at the platform.

Nominal content is approximately 120 litres.

Clean Water Tank 

The water in this tank is for hand washing, for cleaning of clogged 
nozzles etc. Only fill this tank with clean water from the tap.

The clean water tank is placed on the sprayer’s left side.

Capacity: approximately 19 litres.

±

WARNING! Although the clean water tank is only filled with clean 
water, this water must NOT be used for drinking.

EVC Control Unit

The system is based on EVC - Electrical Valve Control. The ON/OFF is 
linked to the section valves (one valve for each spray boom section), 
which results in a quick response to ON/OFF. The operating unit is of 
modular design, and it is electrically controlled by a remote control box. 

The section valves (

A

) are fitted with a constant pressure device and a 

pressure drop line. 

These features allows the operator to shut off individual boom sections.

The unit has a built-in HARDI-MATIC system. This system ensures a 
constant liquid volume per hectare (l/ha) when driving forward at 
varying speed within the same gear, as long as the number of PTO 
revolutions are kept between 300-600 rpm.
