CleaningIMPORTANT: If the machine is cleaned with a high pressure system (be careful to avoid paint damage), the lubricating nipples must be greased before and after cleaning. Do not apply a high pressure cleaner to electrical components and first cover them with plastic. IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the machine, first check the label, package or safety instructions of the chemical if special rinsing procedures or special cleaning agents are required. Besides the system cleaning, which must take place after each spray job (Refer to "Cleaning the Machine" in the section "Working with the Machine", "Rinse Tank" or "Ring Line Circulation System" in the section entitled "Operation of the machine"), there are also components which must be regularly cleaned such as the optional transfer valve (refer to "Transfer Valve To Pump Liquid Back To Store", "External Pump Filling Connection" or "Ecomatic Filling System" in the section "Accessoires"). The pressure line filter must be cleaned at least after every spray job. Very soiled filters lead to increased wear and a reduction of the pump capacity, thus reducing the spraying pressure. Also refer to "Control Group" in the section "Operation of the Machine". The suction filter must be cleaned at least after every spray job. Very soiled filters lead to increased wear and a reduction of the pump capacity. Refer to "Suction Unit" in the section "Operation of the Machine". |

After use or long inactivity, clean the machine. Refer to "Cleaning the Machine" in the section entitled "Working with the Machine", "Rinse Tank" or "Ring Line Circulation System" in the section entitled "Operation of the Machine". Also regularly clean the nozzles, though never with a hard instrument (pocket knife, steel wire, nail or steel brush). There is a great risk of damaging them, after which accurate distribution will no longer be possible. Use a tooth brush or special nozzle brush to clean the nozzles. Also refer to "Spray Line and Nozzle Holders" in the section "Operation of the Machine". In order to prevent corrosion and freezing of the pressure tank of the air brake system, the condensation must be drained from the pressure tank daily by opening the drain valve (A). Also clean the outside of the crop sprayer on the field, after use (refer to "Rinse Tank" in the section entitled "Operation of the Machine" or if available "Hose Reel with Washing Brush and Spray Gun" in the section "Accessoires"). Keep electrical components dry, by covering with plastic, for example. |
