10.
When the spray liquid is well agitated, turn handle of the pressure SmartValve towards “Spraying” position. Keep PTO
engaged, so that the spray liquid is continuously agitated, until it has been sprayed on the crop.
μ
ATTENTION: If foaming is a problem, turn down the agitation.
Filling Powder Chemicals by using HARDI TurboFiller (optional)
1.
Fill the main tank at least 1/2 with water (unless otherwise stated
on the chemical container label). See section “Filling of water”.
2.
Turn the handle of the suction valve towards “suction from Main
tank”. Turn pressure SmartValve towards “Pressure
draining/TurboFiller”. Turn the AgitationValve towards “Agitation”
if required. Close remaining valves.
μ
ATTENTION! For increased suction from the TurboFiller the
AgitationValve can be kept closed.
€
DANGER! Before turning Pressure SmartValve to “Pressure
draining/TurboFiller” it is very important to be sure that the
quick coupler lid is correct and completely mounted to the
filling stud into its locked position. Failure to do so may cause risk of contamination and injury from the quick coupler
lid being “shot” off when pressurized! If not possible to mount lid completely, lubricate the rubber seal and the grip
hooks.
3.
Engage the pump and set PTO speed at 540 rpm or 1000 rpm (depending on pump model).
4.
Open the TurboFiller lid. Open TurboDeflector valve and
TurboFiller suction valve.
5.
Measure the correct amount of powdered chemical and sprinkle
it into the hopper as fast as the transfer device can flush it down.
The TurboFiller suction valve must be open for at least 20 seconds
after the chemical is no longer visible in the hopper in order to
completely empty the transfer hoses into the main tank.
€
DANGER! If the TurboFiller and the transfer hoses are not
completely emptied, there is a risk of chemicals being sucked
out of the main tank!
€
DANGER! Always wear face shield and other appropriate
personal safety equipment, when filling chemicals.
6.
If the chemical container is empty, it can be rinsed by the Chemical Container Cleaning device. Place the container
over the multi-hole nozzle and push the upper lever to the left of the TurboFiller.
€
DANGER! In order to avoid spray liquid hitting the operator, do not press lever unless the multi-hole nozzle is covered
by a container, as spray liquid may otherwise hit the operator!
μ
ATTENTION! The rinsing device uses spray liquid to rinse containers for concentrated chemicals. Always rinse the
chemical containers with clean water several times, until they are clean before disposal.
7.
Flush the TurboFiller with clean water from the rinsing tank by turning the Suction Valve to “Rinse Tank”. The TurboFiller
suction valve must be open for at least 20 seconds after the rinse water is no longer visible in the hopper, in order to
completely empty the transfer hoses into the main tank.
μ
ATTENTION! If not flushed with clean water, the hopper rinsing device uses spray liquid for rinsing the hopper!
Cleaning the TurboFiller must always be done, when the spray job is ended, and together with cleaning the entire
sprayer. A cleaning after the last filling, and before spraying, does not ensure a clean TurboFiller!
