5. Position the vehicle at the starting point of the operations area.

achieve the required spray outcome.
Clean-up and Decontamination
After use, the spray equipment must be thoroughly decontaminated inside and outside – including the pump,
hoses and VersatileBoom – to avoid damage to crops from any harmful spray residues. Decontamination also
prevents spray system corrosion and abrasion.
Cleaning the system should be undertaken at a carefully chosen site, away from any risk of spillages draining
into watercourses or into environmentally sensitive areas.
The recommended decontamination procedure is as follows:
WARNING: Suitable PPE must be worn by the operator when cleaning and
decontaminating the VersatileBoom. Follow the instructions provided with the
chemicals or the applicable Safety Data Sheet.
WARNING: Ensure the cleaning area is in an open, well ventilated space, and any
flushing water is captured to prevent runoff into watercourses or into environmentally
sensitive areas.
1. After spraying operations are complete, drain any residual fluid from the tank. Capture and dispose or
store any fluid in accordance with environmental and work safety requirements.
2. Rinse out the tank with several changes of water, plus a recommended cleaning fluid.
3. Operate the spray unit with clean water using the spray boom, to ensure no chemical residue remains.
4. Nozzles, nozzle filters, nozzle caps and sealing washers 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.
If the VersatileBoom is to be stored for an extended period, thoroughly clean and decontaminate it as described
above. Ensure it is allowed to dry, all lines empty and not pressurised then store it in a well ventilated area.
