2.6.2 Consequential damage
The machine has been manufactured by
HORSCH LEEB Application Systems GmbH
with great care. However, deviations in applica-
tion quantity may occur, even during intended
use. Consequential damage and even total
damage may be caused, e.g. by:
¾
different compositions of crop protection
agents (insecticides, fungicides, herbicides
etc.) in the form of suspensions, emulsions
and mixtures as well as liquid fertilisers
¾
blockages and bridging (e.g. agglutination or
flocculation of crop protection agents)
¾
wear of wear items
¾
damage caused by external effects (e.g. flow
meter)
¾
mechanical damage (e.g. pump defects)
¾
incorrect application quantities and travel
speeds
¾
incorrect adjustments of the sprayer
¾
non-compliance with "Good practice in crop
protection – basic principles of execution".
¾
reaction of crop protection agents caused by
impermissible mixing of two or more differ -
ent crop protection agents (e.g. producing a
lumpy solution)
2.7 Effects caused by the use
of certain crop protection
agents
At the time the crop protection sprayer is manu-
factured the manufacturer is aware of only a few
crop protection agents with BBA approval, which
could have a damaging effect on the materials
used in the crop protection equipment.
We would like to point out, that that e.g. crop
protection agents known to us, like Lasso,
Betanal and Tramat, Stomp, Iloxan, Mudecan,
Elancolan and Teridox cause damage to hoses
and switching diaphragms over a longer expo-
sure time (20 hours). The listed examples do
not claim completeness.
We particularly warn against the use of non-
permitted mixtures of two or more different crop
protection agents.
Substances with a tendency to agglutination or
solidification must not be applied.
When using such aggressive crop protection
products it is highly recommended to spray these
immediately after the preparation of the solution
and thoroughly clean the system with water after.
The materials and components used in HORSCH
LEEB AS crop protection sprayers are liquid fer-
tiliser resistant.
