3.4 RINSING THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE USING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME
WARNING:
Before using your sprayer with phytosanitary products for the rst time (herbicide,
insecticide or other), the equipment must be ushed completely.
• Remove the nozzles if they are tted.
• Unscrew the end caps from the pipes.
• Fill the tank to 1/5 with water.
• Spray (
4.4, page 16).
• Remove and clean the lters.
• Replace the end caps on the pipes.
• Fit the nozzles.
NOTE:
This will eliminate any foreign particles
that might be in the spraying circuit and
which could otherwise block nozzle
orices.
