2. Position a container of adequate capacity below the level of the bottom of the
pesticide tank and put the free end of the drain hose into the container.
3. Ensure that the
Isolation valve (2) is OPEN.
4. OPEN the
Drain valve (1) until all pesticide has been drained from the sprayer.
5. CLOSE the
Drain valve and remove the drain hose if required.
6. Store or dispose of the pesticide drained from the sprayer according to the
instructions on the label and statutory requirements.
4.6. Flushing of Sprayer After Use
The sprayer is fitted with a 10 litre capacity tank to hold solvent for flushing the
pump, hoses and atomiser after use. Diesel fuel is suitable for flushing most ULV
formulations. Water should not normally be used. The sprayer should only be
flushed out in the working area. The procedure to flush the sprayer is as follows:
1. Drain the main pesticide tank if necessary.
2. Put about 5 – 10 l of diesel fuel into the flushing tank. And close the lid.
3. Set the
Tank Select valve (3) to FLUSH.
4. Operate the sprayer in the spray area and spray 1 – 2 l of diesel. Note that some
pesticide will also be discharged from the sprayer, so it is important that the same
procedures are followed as during normal spraying.
5. Set the
Tank Select valve to SPRAY.
5. HEALTH & SAFETY
Legislation regarding the application of pesticides that are potentially harmful to
individuals or the environment varies considerably between countries. Operators
using pesticides and equipment must ensure they are working within the regulations
applicable to their area.
Irrespective of legislation, Micron Sprayers Limited advise the users of their
equipment that all possible care must be taken to ensure the health and safety of the
user and personnel in the vicinity of the spraying operation.
The following recommendations are for guidance only and do not exclude any
statutory requirement:
1. The application of each pesticide should follow the recommendations of the
manufacturer. Extreme care should be taken to prevent pesticide reaching the
operator or any target where contamination could have an adverse effect.
