ATTENTION! If not flushed with clean water, the hopper rinsing device uses spray liquid for rinsing the hopper!
Cleaning the TurboFiller must always be done when the spray job is ended, and together with cleaning the entire
sprayer. A cleaning after the last filling, and before spraying, does not ensure a clean TurboFiller!
8. Close the TurboFiller suction valve when the hopper has been rinsed and close the lid.
9. If closed, turn the Agitation valve towards “Agitation”.
10. When the spray liquid is well agitated, turn handle of the pressure
SmartValve towards “Spraying” position. Keep P.T.O. engaged, so
that the spray liquid is continuously agitated until it has been
sprayed on the crop.
˜
ATTENTION! If foaming is a problem, turn down the agitation.
Filling Powder Chemicals by using HARDI® TurboFiller (optional)
1. Fill the main tank at least 1/2 with water (unless otherwise stated
on the chemical container label). See section “Filling of water”.
2. Turn the handle of the suction SmartValve towards “Suction from
Main tank”. Turn pressure SmartValve towards “TurboFiller”. Adjust
Agitation valve to desired setting.
˜
ATTENTION! For increased suction from the TurboFiller, the
Agitation valve can be kept closed.
3. Engage the pump and set P.T.O. speed at 540 r.p.m. or 1000 r.p.m.
(depending on pump model).
4. Open TurboFiller lid. Open TurboDeflector valve and TurboFiller
suction valve.
5. Measure the correct amount of powdered chemical and sprinkle it
into the hopper as fast as the transfer device can flush it down. The
TurboFiller suction valve must be open for at least 20 seconds after
the chemical is no longer visible in the hopper in order to
completely empty the transfer hoses into the main tank.
€
DANGER! Always wear face shield and other appropriate personal
safety equipment when filling chemicals.
€
DANGER! If the TurboFiller and the transfer hoses are not completely emptied, there is a risk of chemicals being
siphoned out of the main tank!
6. If the chemical container is empty, it can be rinsed by the Chemical
Container Cleaning device. Place the container over the multi-hole
nozzle and push the container cleaning lever.
€
DANGER! In order to avoid spray liquid hitting the operator, do
not press the lever unless the multi-hole nozzle is covered by a
container, as spray liquid may otherwise hit the operator!
˜
ATTENTION! The rinsing device uses spray liquid to rinse
concentrated chemicals from containers. Always rinse the chemical containers with clean water several times until
they are clean before disposal.
