of 4000 l x 1.28 kg/l = 5120 kg !
The crop protection sprayer can be filled via the
filling ports or the dome.
WARNING

tal contact with spraying mixture when filling
the spraying mixture container!
¾
The national and country-specific regulations
for filling crop protection sprayers must be
observed!

Wear your personal protective outfit when
processing crop protection agents or draining
spraying mixture from the spraying mixture
container.
The required personal protective outfit de -
pends on the information of the manufacturer,
the product information, the instructions for
use, the safety data sheet or the operating
instructions for the crop protection agent to
be used.

Before each filling check the crop protection
sprayer for damage, e.g. leaking tanks and
hoses as well as the correct positioning of all
operating elements.

Never leave the crop protection sprayer unat-
tended during filling.
¾
Never exceed the rated volume when filling
the spraying mixture container.

to be filled in.
¾
When filling constantly keep an eye on the
level gauge to avoid overfilling of the spraying
mixture container.
¾
When filling the spraying mixture container
pay attention to sealed surfaces, so that no
wash runs into the sewer system.
¾
No foam must escape from the spraying mix-
ture container during filling.
Adding an anti-foaming agent will also prevent
overflowing of foam of the spraying mixture
container.
Filling via the filling port
¾
The filling port of the crop protection sprayer is
designed to prevent backflow from the spray -
ing mixture container to the tapping point.
Filling via the dome
¾
Fasten the end of the filling hose at least
10 cm above the dome of the spraying mixture
container.
The free outflow created this way offers the
highest level of safety against the back flow of
spraying mixture into the drinking water line.
The dome screen must always be inserted in
the spraying mixture container.
