Use of Rinsing Tank and Rinsing Nozzles
The integrated rinsing tank can be used for two different purposes.
ATTENTION! If a cleaning procedure is given on the chemical label, follow it closely.
In-Field Diluting Before Cleaning
In-field diluting of remaining spray liquid residue in the spraying circuit should be carried out, before cleaning the sprayer.
Rinsing the main tank and liquid system:
1.
Empty the sprayer as much as possible. Close the AgitationValve (no agitation) and spray until air comes out of all
nozzles.
2.
Turn suction valve towards
and pressure valve towards
.
3.
Engage the pump. Set the pump speed to approximately 300 rpm.
4.
When 1/3 of the contents in the rinsing tank is used, turn suction valve towards
and operate all valves on the
pressure side of the system in the following order, so that all hoses and components are rinsed:
A.
Turn the pressure valve towards

WARNING! When critical chemicals (like sulphonylurea) have been used, or a cleaning detergent is recommended, do
an extra cleaning:
10.
Fill the rinsing tank again.
11.
Fill the main tank with 500 litres of clean water. See section “External Filling Device” for filling procedure.
12.
Add the cleaning detergent to the main tank by using the TurboFiller. Follow instructions on the label of the cleaning
agent.
13.
Clean the whole system again.
14.
To get the best cleaning effect, the self-cleaning filter and the suction filter sieves should be washed with clean water.
15.
Rinse the sprayer with clean water afterwards.
ATTENTION! The rinsing nozzles cannot always guarantee a 100% cleaning of the tank. Always clean manually with a
brush afterwards, especially if crops, which are sensitive to the chemical just sprayed, are to be sprayed afterwards!
