SECTION 5
PRE-OPERATION
FUNCTIONALITY CHECKS
With the hook up completed, the functions need to be
tested before using the sprayer with chemicals. Also refer
to the Pre-operation checklist at the end of this chapter on
page 55.
It’s advised that a freshwater test be done to check for
leaks and to familiarise the operator(s) with the sprayer
and set the sprayer to maximise results in the field.
These checks have been conducted in the factory prior to
shipping, however, there is a chance that transit could have
loosened some fittings.
Before progressing further,
• Read and understand the Safety Manual.
• Read and understand this manual, and the operator is
familiar with all controls.
1. Check that the sprayer is correctly hooked up to
the (suitable) tractor. Jockey wheel or park stand is
properly stowed or removed.
2. Check the sprayer wheel nuts (normally M18 /
minimum torque setting of 344 Nm)
3. Check tyres for correct pressure and are even on
both sides.
All tyres will have maximum rating listed on the tyre
sidewall. From the factory, sprayers are delivered with
40 ~ 50 psi in each tyre (will vary from model to model).
4. Check PTO and fan guards are in place.
NEVER
operate with exposed PTO or Fan.
5. Spray controller correctly connected and powered.
6. Check pump oil levels and surge chamber pressure - air
pressure should be 20 ~ 25% of operating pressure
levels (refer pump manual for more detail).
7. Check that all fittings are tight, nothing is loose or
damaged.
8. Double check for loose objects in the vicinity of the
Airblast fan. Ask any onlookers to keep a safe distance
away.
9. Check for wear and tear on all chemical and hydraulic
hoses and wiring looms.
10. Ensure fill, suction & pressure filters are clean. Be
safety aware as some spillage is likely.
11. Ensure the tank drain valve is in the closed position.
