Cleaning

IMPORTANT: If the machine is cleaned with a high pressure system (be careful to avoid paint damage), the lubricating nipples must be greased beforehand and the complete machine greased upon completion. Do not apply a high pressure cleaner to electrical components, first cover them with plastic.

Besides the system cleaning, which must take place after each spray job ("Processing of Residual Liquids" in the section entitled "Working with the Machine" or "Rinsing the Sprayer with VRS" in "Operation of the Machine"), there are also components which must be regularly cleaned.

The fine filter and the pipeline filters 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.

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.

After use or long inactivity, clean the machine (see "Processing of Residual Liquids" in the section entitled "Working with the Machine" or "Rinsing the Sprayer with VRS" in "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 toothbrush or special nozzle brush for cleaning.

CAUTION: Never clean the nozzles by blowing with your mouth.

In order to prevent corrosion and freezing of the pressure tank of the airbrake system, the condensation must be drained from the pressure tank daily by opening the drainage valve. The line filters must be cleaned 3-4 times annually: wash out the filter cartridges with petrol and clear them with compressed air.

Also clean the outside of the crop sprayer on the field, after use (see "Rinse Tank" in the section entitled "Operation of the Machine"). Keep all electrical components dry during cleaning.

The insert can be removed from the nozzle holder for cleaning purposes. Take care not to damage the insert in doing so! For removal of the insert, first remove the reflection nozzle with bayonet cap. Use insert removal tool to gently ease the insert out.

CAUTION: Never blow the insert clean by using your mouth.
