Fluid from Pump 

Filter 

The suction filter is fitted with a stop valve which 
closes  automatically  when  the  valve  cap  is 
screwed  off.    This  allows  the  filter  cover  to  be 
unscrewed  and  the  element  to  be  removed  for 
cleaning while there is fluid in the tank. 

 

When the sprayer is operating, the valve must be 
fully screwed in to open the stop valve and allow 
fluid to pass through the filter.  Directional arrows 
are  moulded  into  the  valve  cap  to  show  the 
opening and closing operation 
 

Three Outlet Control Units 

System  pressure  is  regulated  by  turning  the 
green  knob  and  observing  the  reading  on  the 
pressure  gauge.    Turning  the  knob  clockwise 
increases the pressure and turning anti-clockwise 
decreases pressure. 
 
Fluid  is  directed  to  the  boom  lines  or  other 
spraying devices by the outlet valves which may 
be operated individually.  The outlet valves of the 
three  way  control  are  open  when  the  levers  are 
vertically up and closed when they are horizontal.  
Refer to diagram. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 
 
 
 

Fresh water tank

 

To fill the 15 fresh water tank, remove the lid and 
fill.  Ensure that the lid of the fresh water tank is 
not swapped with the chemical fill lid (applicable 
only to the 400 & 600 litre models). 
 
Turn the tap fitted to the side  of the fresh  water 
tank to the on position to wash hands. 

 

Warning!

    The  fresh  water  tank  should  only  be 

filled with fresh water for hand washing or nozzle 
cleaning.  This  water  should  not  be  used  for 
drinking purposes. 

 

Toolbox 

To  open  the  toolbox,  remove  each  of  the  tri-
screws  holding  the  lid  secure.  Ensure  the  tri-
screws are secured firmly when closing the lid. 

 

Spray Booms 

A  variety  of  booms  may  be  used  with  Silvan 
linkage sprayers depending upon the model and 
field  application.    All  have  stainless  steel  spray 
lines  fitted  with  non-drip  nozzle  bodies  and  air 
induction  fan  jet nozzles.  Booms  are  part  of the 
standard equipment on some models or in other 
cases they may be installed by the dealer. 
 
On  all  types  of  boom,  the  setting  of  the  correct 
operating  height  is  most  important  to  achieve  a 
uniform spraying pattern.  This needs to be at a 
height  above  the  target  which  will  achieve  50% 
overlap of the spray from adjacent nozzles - refer 
Calibration section of this manual. 
 
Always ensure that no bystanders are close to 
the boom when it is unfolded and that it will not 
foul on any other objects.  

 
Field Boom

 

For transport, the boom is folded horizontally by 
swinging the outer arms rearwards through 180

0

 

until against the fixed centre section, where they 
are  retained  by  the  action  of  the  hinge  springs. 
The  arms  are  simply  folded  outwards  to  the 
spraying position when required. 
 
The  rear  uprights  of  the  sprayer  frame  include 
open  slide  channels  to  enable  the  boom  to  be 
attached  at  a  height  suitable  for  the  tractor  size 
and spraying application.  Final spraying height is 
regulated by use of the tractor linkage control

 

Devil Boom 

The hydraulic fold Devil boom features 
independent left and right hydraulic folding arms 
for either one-side or two side operation. The 
outer arm fold utilises a push rod that is 
connected to the inner fold hydraulic ram. The 
outer arm has a spring loaded breakback 
mechanism. There is an optional hydraulic lift kit 
and optional hydraulic lift with airbag suspension 
available with the Devil booms.
