Always wear proper protective clothing before handling chemicals!Personal protectionDepending on chemical type, protective gear/equipment should be worn to avoid contact with the chemicals, such as:• Gloves• Waterproof boots• Headgear• Respirator• Safety goggles• Coverall with chemical resistance± WARNING! Protective clothing/equipment should be used, when preparing the spray liquid, during the spray job andwhen cleaning the sprayer. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions given on the chemical label and/or locallegislation.± WARNING! It is always advisable to have clean water available, especially when filling the sprayer with chemicals.± WARNING! Always clean the sprayer carefully and immediately after use.± WARNING! Only mix chemicals in the tank according to directions given by the chemical manufacturer.± WARNING! Always clean the sprayer before changing to another chemical.Filling Chemicals through Tank LidThe chemicals are filled through the tank lid - Note instructions on the chemical container!± WARNING! Be careful not to slip or to splash chemicals, when carrying chemicals up to the tank lid!μ ATTENTION! Due to risk of spillage and spot contamination, several countries do not allow to fill chemicals directlythrough the tank lid. Use the TurboFiller for all filling of chemicals instead.1. Make sure the spray control unit is switched off.2. Set suction valve towards “Suction from main tank”, Agitation valvetowards “Agitation”. Turn pressure SmartValve towards “Spraying”.3. Engage the pump and set PTO revolutions to 540 rpm.4. Add the chemicals through the main tank hole.5. Keep PTO engaged, so that the spray liquid is continuouslyagitated, until it has been sprayed on the crop.€ DANGER! Before turning Pressure SmartValve past “Pressuredraining/TurboFiller”, it is very important to ensure that the quickcoupler lid is correctly and completely mounted to the filling studin its locked position. Failure to do so causes a risk of contamination and injury from the quick coupler lid being “shot”off when pressurized! If it is not possible to mount the lid completely, lubricate the rubber seal and the grip hooks.÷ NOTE! Local legislation may not allow filling through the tank lid, but will require use of the chemical inductor instead.
