•
Rinse out the tank with several changes of water, plus a recommended cleaning fluid. Where it can be
reached internally, use a brush to scrub the inside of the tank.
•
Operate the GlidePath unit with clean water, using both the spray boom and hose (as applicable), to ensure
no chemical residue remains.
•
Unscrew the suction filter cover and remove the filter screen and gasket. Soak the filter screen in clean
water, brushing carefully with a nozzle brush. When re-assembling, ensure the gasket is in position.
•
Ensure that the tank’s basket strainer is free from chemical residue or debris.
•
Nozzles, nozzle filters, nozzle caps and gaskets should be cleaned by soaking in water, brushing with a
nozzle brush and allowed to dry. Do not blow through the nozzles or use wire or pins to clear any blockages.
•
Dispose of all rinsing water in compliance with environmental and work safety requirements.
Cleaning Procedure using Flush Tank
Cleaning of the GlidePath unit fitted with the optional flush tank is conducted in a similar manner to the cleaning
procedure described above, but noting the following:
•
Ensure the flush tank contains water and the main GlidePath tank is empty.
•
With the tractor’s engine running, engage the PTO output to operate the GlidePath’s pump.
•
Adjacent to the optional hose reel, the 3-way valve handle should be pointing towards the tractor, refer to
Figure 12. To draw water from the flush tank, move the valve handle to the upright position.
Figure 12 – Flush Tank Operation
•
At the pressure regulator manifold, individually turn each valve to ON for approximately 30 seconds or
until each line is fully flushed.
•
Once each line is fully flushed, direct the remaining flush tank water into the GlidePath’s main tank by
turning the operation lever to BYPASS.
•
Drain the GlidePath’s main tank by opening the suction filter housing adjacent to the bottom of the tank,
refer to Figure 11.
If the GlidePath unit is to be stored for an extended period, thoroughly clean and decontaminate the unit as
described above. Ensure it is allowed to dry, the tank and all lines empty and not pressurised then store it in a
well ventilated area.
CAUTION! The GlidePath sprayer may be unstable once disconnected
from the tractor. Ensure it is suitably supported to prevent damage from
falling over.
