5 - Operation60Filling Through Tank LidWater is filled into the tank by removing the big tank lid, which is located at the top of the sprayer tank near the front, whichis accessible from the platform. It is recommended to use as clean water as possible for spraying purposes. Always fill waterthrough the strainer basket to prevent foreign particles from entering the tank. An overhead tank can be used in order toobtain high filling capacity.± WARNING! Do not let the filling hose enter the tank. Keep itoutside the tank, pointing towards the filling hole. If the hose isled into the tank, and the water pressure drops at the watersupply plant, chemicals may be sucked back and contaminatethe water supply lines, supply plant and supply well.± WARNING! The water supply line should be provided with a checkvalve as additional safety precaution. Follow local legislation inforce at any time.± WARNING! The water supply should be provided with a water meter to avoid spillage by over-filling. Follow locallegislation in force at any time.External Filling Device (optional)The External Filling Device is operated as follows:1. Remove cover and connect suction hose to Suction Manifold.2. Turn pressure SmartValve to “Main tank”.3. Turn handle on External Filling Device valve towards Filling Device.4. Engage diaphragm pump and set PTO revolutions at 540 rpm.5. The tank is now filled with water. Keep an eye on the liquid levelindicator.6. Turn handle on Suction Manifold away from Filling Device todiscontinue filling process. Then disengage pump.7. Disconnect suction hose and replace cover.€ DANGER! Avoid contamination or personal injury. Do not opensuction valve towards Suction Filling Device, unless the pump isrunning and the filling hose is connected. If this valve is openedwithout the pump running, liquid will stream out of the coupler.± WARNING! Do not leave the sprayer whilst filling the tank, and keep an eye on the level indicator in order NOT tooverfill the tank.± WARNING! If suction hose/filter is carried on the sprayer during spraying, it can be contaminated by spray drift whichwill be transferred to lake/river when filling!μ ATTENTION! Observe local legislation regarding use of filling device. In some areas, it is prohibited to fill from openwater reservoirs (lakes, rivers etc.). It is strongly recommended only to fill from closed reservoirs (mobile water tanksetc.) to avoid contamination.
