Carefully follow all instructions about the use and stock of chemicals and make sure that no people and
animals can touch it.
All the operations of mixing the chemicals, filling the tank, chemicals application, emptying the tank,
washing the spray circuit, washing the machine, repairs and transport must be done by trained people using
suitable individual protections.
Collect the residues in sealed containers and store in the chemicals place, recycling according to the laws of
your country/region.
It is forbidden to waste the residues of the chemicals into rivers, into drain or in public areas.
Before starting any operation, make sure that all the taps connected to the tank are perfectly closed. If extra
taps or valves are installed, verify that they cannot let the product come out.
Accurately measure the chemicals rates to put into the tank.
Before each spray, wash carefully the chemicals cans and measurements instruments.
Make sure that the chemicals in use are compatible with the materials of the components of the machine.
Never leave chemicals in the tank for more than a few hours.
Never use the sprayer without hand washing tank or not completely full.
Never use the sprayer without the rinse tank or not completely full.
When filling the main chemicals tank, avoid dripping out.
Do NOT fill completely the tank. It is necessary to leave an empty room for possible foam and
allow the movement of the liquid during the application without leaks.
When moving or spraying keep tank lids closed.
The mixing of the chemicals can be done direcly in the pre-mixer fitted in the tank (see chapter in this
manual). When pre-mixing pay attention to pour the chemicals only inside the pre-mixing basket avoiding
dripping out of the tank. Start pre-mixing only with the tank lid closed.
When spraying keep safety distances from houses, rivers, roads, etc. The operator must stop
spraying when people or animals enter the working area of the machine where the distance is
not enough to avoid the risk of contamination.
It is important to spray in good weather conditions and inquire about the forecast for the total period of
application.
When emptying the tank, do NOT waste the liquid residues into the drain or in the
environment. The operator MUST collect all the residues in suitable containers, avoiding any
leak.
It is possible to connect a flexible hose to the drain ball valves to correctly collect the residues, avoiding any
contamination.
During the rinse of the chemicals equipment, the rinse liquid must be sprayed onto the vegetation object of
the application. Do NOT waste the rinse residues in the environment, according to the laws of your
country/region.
It is possible to dilute the chemicals to the concentration allowed by the Standards in force in your
country/region.
