Preparing the spraying mixture
DANGER
Danger caused by accidental contact with
crop protection agents and/or spraying
mixture!
When preparing spraying mixture there is the
highest risk of coming into contact with crop
protection agent.
¾
Use the stipulated protective outfit!
¾
Follow the notes of the crop protection agent
manufacturer.
¾
Observe the national and country-specific
regulations and standards (e.g. water
protection areas).
¾
Generally flush the crop protection agents
through the illuviation valve into the spraying
mixture container.
¾
Swing the illuviation valve to filling position,
before crop protection agent is filled into the
illuviation valve.
NOTE
To reduce the filling height, the machine can be
lowered to the transport position via two buttons
on the terminal. Follow the Terminal operating
instructions. Return the suspension to the starting
position after filling.
¾
Follow the safety regulations when handling
crop protection agents and when preparing
the spraying mixture: Read the instructions
for use for the crop protection agent.
¾
Do not prepare the spraying mixture in the
vicinity of wells or surface waters.
¾
Avoid leakages and contamination with crop
protection agents and / or spraying mixture
by acting appropriately and by wearing
appropriate body protection.
¾
Do not leave the prepared spraying mixture,
unused crop protection agent, uncleaned crop
protection agent canisters and the uncleaned
crop protection sprayer unattended to avoid
dangers to other persons.
¾
Protect contaminated crop protection agent
canisters and the contaminated crop protection
sprayer against precipitation.
¾
Ensure sufficient cleanliness during and after
spraying mixture preparation to keep the risks
as low as possible (e.g. thoroughly wash
off and dispose of used gloves. Dispose of
washing water and cleaning fluid in a proper
manner).
NOTE
Besides the generally valid information listed
hereunder, you should also follow the product-
specific procedures described in the instructions
for use of the crop protection agents!
¾
Pay attention to the prescribed water and
preparation application quantities as per
instructions for use for the crop protection
agent.
¾
Follow the instructions for use for the
preparation and the specified precautions!
¾
Carefully determine the required filling or
refill quantities to avoid residual quantities,
because an environmentally friendly disposal
of residual quantities is very difficult.
Use the “Filling table for residual areas” to
calculate the required refill quantity for the
last spraying mixture container filling. In
this case subtract the technical, undiluted
residual quantity in the spraying boom from
the calculated refill quantity.
¾
In this context see chapter “Filling table for
residual areas”
¾
Thoroughly rinse emptied preparation
containers (e.g. with canister flushing agent)
and mix in the flushing water to the spraying
mixture!
General procedure
1. Determine the required water and preparation
application quantity as per instructions for use
for the crop protection agent.
2. Calculate the filling or refill quantity for the
area to be treated.
3. Fill half of the spraying mixture container
with water.
