Cleaning the tank and liquid system
1.
Dilute remaining spray liquid in the tank with at least 10 parts of water and spray the liquid out in the crop/orchard just
sprayed.
2.
Select and use the appropriate protective clothing. Select detergent suitable for cleaning and suitable deactivating
agents if necessary.
3.
Rinse and clean mistblower and tractor externally. Use detergent if necessary.
4.
Remove tank and suction filters and clean. Be careful not to damage the mesh. Replace suction filter top. Replace filters
when the mistblower is completely clean.
5.
With the pump running, rinse the inside of the tank. Don’t forget the tank roof. Rinse and operate all components and
any equipment that have been in contact with the chemical. Before opening the distribution valves and spraying the
liquid out, decide whether this should be done in the field again or on the soakaway.
6.
After spraying the liquid out, stop the pump and fill at least 1/5 of the tank with clean water. Note that some chemicals
require the tank to be completely filled. Add appropriate detergent and/or deactivating agent, e.g. washing soda or
Triple ammonia.
7.
Start the pump and operate all controls enabling the liquid to come into contact with all the components. Leave the
distribution valves until last. Some detergents and deactivating agents work best if left in the tank for a short period.
Check the label.
8.
Drain the tank and let the pump run dry. Rinse inside of the tank, again letting the pump run dry.
9.
Stop the pump. If the pesticides used have a tendency to block nozzles and filters, remove and clean them
immediately.
10.
Replace all the filters and nozzles and store the mistblower. If, from previous experiences, it is noted that the solvents
in the pesticide are particularly aggressive, store the mistblower with the tank lid open.
μ
ATTENTION! It is advisable to increase the forward speed (double, if possible) and reduce the pressure to 1.5 bar (20
psi) when spraying diluted remaining liquid in the field just sprayed.
μ
ATTENTION! If a cleaning procedure is given on the chemical label, follow it closely.
μ
ATTENTION! If the mistblower is cleaned with a high pressure cleaner, lubrication of the entire machine is
recommended.
Unexpected interruptions
If you have to stop a treatment unexpectedly, due to bad weather for example, and there is still some liquid in the tank, we
recommend you rinse the tank, operating unit and pipes.
•
Close the nozzles and switch off the PTO.
•
Close the suction filter valve and open the filter.
•
Immediately put clean water down the suction hose which goes straight to the pump and open up the nozzles.
•
Follow the procedure until clean water comes out of the nozzles.
•
Stop the pump and put the suction filter back in place.
