Filling/washing location requirements
When filling the sprayer with chemicals and water, it is important to avoid spot contamination by spray chemicals in order
to protect the subsoil water resources.
At a dedicated filling site
If the sprayer is always filled at the same place, a special filling/washing location should be established. This should have a
hard, liquid-impenetrable surface (e.g. concrete) and edges securing against run-off to the surrounding areas. The location
should be drained to an adequate receptacle (e.g. slurry tank or similar).
Any spillage or washings should be retained and diluted in order to be distributed on a larger area. This is to ensure minimal
environmental impact and avoid build-up of larger chemical concentrations at one spot.
If no other requirements of distances exist, the filling location should be no closer than:
1.
50 yards (meters) from any water supplies for drinking purposes, and
2.
25 yards (meters) from treatment sumps and sewer drainage systems, and
3.
50 yards (meters) from surface water (watercourses, lakes and coastal waters) and from nature reserves.
In the field
Alternatively the sprayer can be filled in the field where the spraying is to take place. If so, choose a different location for each
refilling.
If no other requirements of distances exist, the filling should not take place closer than:
1.
300 yards (meters) from any water supplies for drinking purposes, and
2.
50 yards (meters) from surface water (watercourses, lakes and coastal waters), treatment sumps, sewer drainage
systems and nature reserves.

ATTENTION! Legislation and requirements vary. Always follow local legislation in force at any time.
˜
ATTENTION! It is the responsibility of the sprayer owner/operator to comply with all relevant legislation. HARDI®
cannot undertake any responsibilities for incorrect operation and use.
Filling of water
The tank should normally be filled 1/3 with water before adding
chemicals. Always follow the instructions given on the chemical
container!
±
WARNING! If the sprayer is put aside with liquid in the main tank,
all MANIFOLD valves must be closed.
Filling through tank lid
Water is filled into the tank by removing the tank lid located at front of the sprayer tank which is accessible from the platform.
It is recommended to use water as clean as possible for spraying purposes. Always fill water through the strainer basket to
prevent foreign particles from entering the tank. An overhead tank can be used in order to obtain high filling capacity.
±
WARNING! Do not let the filling hose enter the tank. Keep it
outside the tank, pointing towards the filling hole. If the hose is
lowered into the tank and the water pressure drops at the water
supply plant, chemicals may be siphoned back and contaminate
the water supply lines and source.
