11.3 - THE TREATMENT
T IS ADVISABLE TO BEGIN TREATMENT AT THE HEADLANDS..
•
The operator must:
a
. shake the mixture in the tank before starting the treatment, re-circulating it completely for as long
as it takes to make it homogeneous.
b
. continue to shake the mixture until the treatment is resumed should the intervention momentarily
be interrupted. If the utilisation is to be deferred, check that the filter cartridge is clean before
resuming and shake the mixture that has remained in the tank.
c
. ensure that the hand wash supplementary tank is filled with clean water after each filling operation.
d
. make use of individual protections identical to those envisaged for the preparation of mixtures if
the tractor is not equipped with a pressurised cabin with aeration filters.
e
. wash immediately all the elements that might have become contaminated during the treatment,
promptly remove the polluted garments and
interrupt the work if these cannot be immediately
replaced.
g
. keep to the preliminary operations already indicated (11.1.c), in case of wind conditions prevailing.
h.
stop the engine, remove the key from the tractor’s control panel and lower the hoist
during
stoppages.
i
.
pay particular attention to the treatment when close to boundaries and in proximity of dwellings,
water courses, roads or public-usage paths.

•
The operator must:
a
. Wash the machine’s exterior before cleaning out the hydraulic circuit. The operative sequence
will permit the elimination of possible water residues from the fan casing and piping conveying the
air flow to the heads.
The washing of the spray atomiser’s exterior must be carried out in an area in which
foul waters are collected in a disposal pit. DO NOT UTILISE HIGH-PRESSURE HYDRO-
CLEANERS.
b
. Carry out the cleaning of the hydraulic circuit by washing the inner side of the tank with a clean
water jet, then spraying it on the crop on which the treatment has just been completed: if necessary
repeat this operation.
