directly through the tank lid. Use the TurboFiller for all induction of chemicals instead.
1.
Make sure the spray control unit is switched off.
2.
Set suction valve towards “Suction from main tank”, Agitation valve
towards “Agitation”. Other valves should be closed or turned to
unused function.
3.
Engage the pump and set P.T.O. revolutions to 540 r/min.
4.
Add the chemicals through the main tank hole.
5.
When the spray liquid is well mixed, turn handle on the pressure
valve towards “Spraying” position. Keep P.T.O. engaged so the
spray liquid is continuously agitated until it has been sprayed on
the crop.

NOTE! Local legislation may not allow filling through the tank lid,
but will require use of the chemical inductor instead.
