General info
Unloading the sprayer from the truck
When unloading with an overhead lifting device, please observe the
lifting points as shown in the picture, and make sure that the straps or
belts used for lifting are strong enough.
Before putting the sprayer into operation
Although the sprayer has been applied with a strong and protective surface treatment on steel parts, bolts etc. in the factory,
it is recommended to apply a film of anticorrosion oil (e.g. CASTROL RUSTILLO or SHELL ENSIS FLUID) on all metal parts in
order to avoid chemicals and fertilizers discoloring the enamel. If this is done before the sprayer is put into operation for the
first time, it will always be easy to clean the sprayer and keep the enamel clean for many years. This treatment should be
carried out every time the protection film is washed off.
Support jack
The support jack is stored in retracted position and secured by the linch
pin when the sprayer is attached to the tractor.
To retract the support jack: Lift the jack, then pull the linch pin out and
rotate the support jack into storage position. Replace linch pin to secure.
