•
With the hose pressure released, the hose is ready to stow back on the SpotPro. Turn the handle at the
side of the hose reel to wind it onto the spool, guiding the hose as necessary to ensure even distribution
across the width of the reel.
Clean-up and Decontamination
After use, the SpotPro unit must be thoroughly decontaminated inside and outside – including the pump,
hoses, boom and spray gun – to avoid damage to crops from any harmful spray residues. Decontamination
also prevents sprayer corrosion and abrasion.
Cleaning the SpotPro should be undertaken at a carefully chosen site, away from any risk of spillages draining
into watercourses or into environmentally sensitive areas.
The recommended decontamination procedure is as follows:
WARNING! Suitable PPE must be worn by the operator when cleaning and
decontaminating the SpotPro unit. Follow the instructions provided with
the chemicals or the applicable Safety Data Sheet.
WARNING! Ensure the cleaning area is in an open, well ventilated space, and
any flushing water is captured to prevent runoff into watercourses or into
environmentally sensitive areas.
•
After spraying operations are complete, drain any residual fluid via the bung located at the bottom
of the tank. Capture and dispose or store any fluid in accordance with environmental and work safety
requirements.
•
Rinse out the tank with several changes of water, plus a recommended cleaning fluid. Where it can be
reached internally, use a brush to scrub the inside of the tank.
•
Operate the SpotPro unit with clean water, using both the spray boom and hose (as applicable), to ensure
no chemical residue remains.
•
Unscrew the suction filter cover and remove the filter screen and gasket. Soak the filter screen in clean
water, brushing carefully with a nozzle brush. When re-assembling, ensure the gasket is in position.
