CLEANING THE MACHINE
After every single use of the sprayer, the appliance must be thoroughly cleaned. The best way to
use any excess insecticide is to dilute it with water and spray it on the same surface again. The
concentration should be at least 10% (10 units of water per one unit of insecticide), the spraying
speed slightly faster and the spraying pressure slightly lower (1.5 bar, depending on the nozzle).
While doing this, use the additional reservoir for washing. The procedure is described in the
chapter
Napaka! Vira sklicevanja ni bilo mogoče najti.
. After that, thoroughly clean the sprayer o
n the inside and the outside and also clean all tolls which you have used for spraying (including
the tractor). Use only detergents that are recommended by the manufacturer of protection agents!
If there are instructions for cleaning of the appliance after using it attached to the instructions for
using the insecticide, follow them.
In accordance with the local legislation on washing of the pesticides into the earth, agree on
cleaning of your sprayer with your advisory service.
The ablution of pesticides (cleaning of the sprayer) must not be performed on swampy ground or
in the near of streams, water dams, dykes or water fountains, etc.
If there is still some insecticide inside the sprayer and if you had to stop working unexpectedly for
some time it is recommended to clean the pump, the regulator and the spraying lining with clean
water (see chapter 8.1.3).
In the case you had to stop working unexpectedly but did not clean the sprayer yet, you have
to assure that other people or animals cannot reach the sprayer.
When cleaning the sprayer use appropriate protection clothes. Choose appropriate detergents for
cleaning and, if necessary, appropriate insecticide neutralising agents (see recommendations of the
insecticide manufacturer).
In the case you are using a mixture of detergent and water for cleaning, pour it into the main
reservoir, close the main valve on the pressure regulator, turn on the pump, open the direction
control valve for mixing, open the self-cleaning filter valve and only after few minutes open the
direction control valves of the nozzles. Be careful when choosing the place for releasing of the
cleaning agent. Some detergents become active only after few minutes, so the cleaning process
can be slightly longer (see instructions of the manufacturer).
