MAINTENANCE
13.1 Sprayer cleaning
After each use, the sprayer 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 tank for washing. The procedure is described in the
chapter “COMPLETE CLEANING OF THE SPRAYER”. After that, thoroughly clean the
sprayer on 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 device after using it attached to
the instructions for using the insecticide, follow them.
In accordance with local legislation regarding pesticide discharge into ground, arrange sprayer
cleaning with you counselling service.
Washing 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 “PARTIAL CLEANING OF THE SPRAYER”).
WARNING: In 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.
NOTE:
- Only a clean sprayer is a safe device
- A clean sprayer is ready to be used
- A clean sprayer cannot get damaged by chemical agents or chemical solvents
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).
If using detergents (mixture of water and detergent), pour it in the main tank (distribution
valves for nozzle distribution are closed), turn on the pump, open distribution valve for
mixing, valve of self-cleaning filter and, after a few minutes, open distribution valves for
nozzle distribution. Be careful, where you discharge the cleaning agent. Some detergents take
time to become effective, which extends the cleaning process (see manufacturer’s
instructions).
WARNING: Be careful when handling detergents!
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions!
