Operation
1.
Switch the unit on by pressing ON/OFF. The display will light-up and the roller will rotate.
2.
After approx. 3 seconds the display will show the previous application rate last used between 0-100.
Use the UP / DOWN arrows to adjust if required.
3.
Press the PUMP RUN button to commence the application of herbicide.
4.
The machine will continue to run at this rate until the control is turned off or the amount is altered.
5.
When finished, switch off by pressing ON/OFF. The unit should always be cleaned with fresh water
and the tank purged when application is finished, to prevent crystallisation of the chemical in
pipework and nozzles.
Forward Speed
The forward speed used should be proportional to the amount of weeds being encountered. In areas of thin
weed growth, a faster speed (for example 5mph) will result in an effective kill and improved workrate.
Conversely, in areas of thick weed growth, forward speed will need to be reduced to a slow walking pace
(around 2mph) in order to effectively wipe all the weeds.
The operator must use their own discretion in this regard due to the many variables of chemical used, level
of weed infestation, height of grass sward, temperature and humidity when applying, in order to ensure the
applicator roller is kept moist and the weeds are having enough chemical applied.
Operating Limits
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE BEYOND OPERATING LIMITS, DAMAGE TO MACHINERY OR INJURY TO
OPERATOR MAY OCCUR.
Minimum / Maximum Temperature:
5°C / +40°C
Storage
For extended periods of storage, it is advisable that the machine be kept in a clean dry environment
protected from the elements to avoid risk of corrosion.
The machine should be thoroughly hosed down with clean, low pressure water and lubricated after use
to prevent corrosion due to herbicide residue left on the machine.
