Preparing for operation
Filling tank
Observe guidelines
When working with pesticides, all relevant information on the handling
of pesticides and the specific safety instructions of the pesticide ma-
nufacturer must be observed. Improper handling of crop protection
chemicals can lead to damage to the health.
Protection against fine dust
When working in an environment contaminated with dust and other fi-
ne particles from pesticides, it may be necessary to wear a breathing
mask and latex gloves. Observe the specific safety instructions issued
by the crop protection chemicals manufacturer.
Only use suitable crop protection chemicals
Ensure that the crop protection chemical filled into the tank is in origi-
nal packaging and suitable for the task at hand. Unsuitable crop pro-
tection chemicals can cause damage to the granule distributor.
Remove foreign bodies
Check the tank for foreign bodies and remove any that are found prior
to filling. Foreign bodies can cause damage to the granule distributor.
Disposal
Collect all spilled pesticide, place in a suitable bag and dispose of in
accordance with local environmental regulations. Never recycle dis-
pensed crop protection chemicals and use in the granule distributor
since dust or foreign bodies can damage the granule distributor.
Observe the filling height
Do not exceed the specified filling volume of 33 litres for each granule
distributor. Observe the minimum and maximum filling level.
> Fill the tank with a new box of crop protection chemical.
There must be a gap for air between the filling level and the tank lid.
> Seal the tank lid
