Spraying
1. Switch on the terminal.
2. Adjust the agitator.
3.
Prepare the spraying mixture as specified
by the crop protection agent manufacturer
and stir it up.
4. Unfold the spraying boom.
5. Set the working height of the spraying boom
(distance between nozzles and plants) in
dependence of the nozzles used according
to the spraying table.
6. In the terminal check the value “min. pres-
sure” and “max. pressure” for the permissible
spraying pressure range (for the installed
spraying nozzles).
7. Enter the value for “Nominal quantity” for the
required application quantity into the terminal
or check the stored value.
8. Switch on spraying via the terminal.
NOTE
Comply with the applicable country specific reg -
ulations! Comply with regulations concerning the
distance to waters and adjacent areas!
Travelling to the field with the agitator
switched on
Water systems Basic and CCS:
¾
Set the pressure side valve to the spraying
function.
¾
Adjust the intensity of the agitator at the cor-
responding valve.
Water systems Basic Pro and CCS Pro:
¾
The intensity of the agitator can be adjusted
via the terminal.
¾
Switch on the agitator via the terminal
The required agitating power depends on the
preparations used and must be checked by the
user.
After filling the agitator may be set to maximum
intensity to avoid separation during longer trans-
port travels!
Before starting the spraying operation the stir-
ring intensity set for travelling must be reset if it
deviates from the stirring intensity required for
spraying! Comply with the applicable country
specific regulations!
Measures for windward drift reduction
¾
Schedule your work for early morning or
evening (generally less wind).
¾
Reduce the spraying pressure.
¾
Choose bigger nozzles and higher water ap-
plication quantities.
¾
Maintain the exact folding boom working
height, because the risk of windward drift will
increase considerably with increasing nozzle
distance.
¾
Reduce the travel speed (below 8 km/h).
¾
Use of so-called antidrift (AD) nozzles or injec-
tor (ID) nozzles (nozzles with a high proportion
of coarse drops).
¾
Follow the distance instructions for the corre-
sponding crop protection agent.
