4.4 Filter equipment
Important!
x Use all designed filters. Clean all filters regularly (please
refer to chapter "Cleaning", page 203). The trouble free op-
eration of the field sprayer is only achieved by a perfect fil-
tering of the spray agent. The perfect filtering has a consid-
erable effect on the success of the plant protection meas-
ure.
x Observe the permissible combinations of filters or of the
mesh widths. The mesh widths of the self cleaning pressure
filter and of the nozzle filters should always be smaller than
the nozzle opening of the nozzles used.
x When using 80 or 100 mesh/inch pressure filter inserts it is
possible that with some chemicals, some active crop pro-
tection agents are filtered off. If necessary contact the plant
protective agent manufacturer.
