CHEMICAL SUCTION PROBE
An alternative to the mixing basket (which is best used for
powders and granules) is the chemical probe. Designed
to suck liquid chemical, via a venturi system, straight from
containers and into the main tank. Also refer to page 32.
• Always wear safety gloves
• Connect the probe to the sprayer as pictured making
sure the ball valve (as shown) is in the off position
• Prepare the chemical source.
Be especially vigilant
of chemical safety.
• Check the Tank Selection valve (located at the front of
the sprayer) is open to SPRAY.
• Start the Tractor
• Make sure the controller is NOT in Spray mode.
• Start the pump by engaging the Tractor PTO. Set to
operate at your required rpm, usually between 450
and 540 rpm. Higher rpm will give better suction.
• Activate the PROBE tap (shown below as closed)
• Place / hold the probe’s tube into the chemical source
(usually a drum or bucket of chemical).
• To suck chemical from the drum to tank, turn on the
probe connection ball valve (
circled in orange
,
shown in the off position). Use the ball valve to control
the suction.
Modulate the tap opening to adjust liquid transfer
speed.
Turn to off when finished or the required volume of
chemical has been transferred to the spray tank.
• Flush with / rinse from a clean water source when
finished.
• Activate the AGITATORS.
• Once the process is complete, turn off the probe’s ball
valve and the tap at the pump.
