7.1. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
THE SERVICING OF YOUR SPRAYER
• By cleaning your sprayer regularly during and at the end of treatment season:
- You will avoid spraying chemical residues on the crops.
- You will ensure a good distribution of the product, while eliminating total or partial blockage of the nozzles.
- You will increase your sprayer's life.
Conduct the sprayer's maintenance operations with the engine off, contact and
hydraulic drive switched off.
7.2. CHECKS BEFORE SPRAY SEASON
• Wheels and tyres:
- Check tyre pressure: see self-propelled sprayer manual.
- Check the tightness of the wheel bolts (see self-propelled sprayer manual for the tightening torque).
• Filter:
- Make sure that the delivery filter is clean and in good condition.
•
Hoses:
- Look for any leaks, check for kinks in the hoses.
•
Seals and connectors:
- Check to ensure that connector nuts are tightened, change the seals if necessary.
• Levels:
- Check the pump's oil level and other elements concerned.
• Pump:
- Check to ensure that all connectors are tightened.
•
Nozzles:
- Change the nozzles once per year or when their flow rate is 10 to 15 % greater than their initial flow rate. To
do this, use the FLOW TEST - BERTHOUD reference 765.241, or the FLOW RATE GAUGE - BERTHOUD
reference 778.887.
•
Tank:
- Check that there is no foreign matters inside the tank.
7.3. FOAMING IN THE TANK
• If this occurs, reduce the engine speed or add an anti-foaming additive to the contents of the tank when filling.
Do not add fuel oil to the spraying mixture as an anti-foaming agent.
