To operate the mixing basket:
• Fill the main tank with the appropriate amount of water
• Always wear gloves
• Measure the chemical required for the tank mix and
place the chemical (liquid, powder or granules) into
the mixing basket & close the mixer lid. This process is
best done in several smaller batches of chemical.
• Check the Tank Selection valve (located at the front of
the sprayer) is open to SPRAY.
• Start the Tractor
• Make sure the Fusion controller is NOT in Spray mode
(MASTER is yellow, no green section lights)
• Start the pump by engaging the Tractor remote
(Micro Power Pack version) or PTO. Set to operate
at your required rpm, usually between 450 and 540 rpm
• Open (flick UP) both AGITATOR valves.
• Open (flick up) the mixing basket valve
(make
sure the lid is closed)
• Allow sufficient time for the chemical to mix into the
tank. The actual time will vary depending upon the
product used
•
Close the mixing basket valve
before next
opening the lid.
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.
• Always wear gloves
• Connect the probe to the sprayer as pictured making
sure the ball valve (as circled) is in the off position
• Prepare the chemical source.
Be especially
vigilant of chemical safety.
