4.3 INDUCTION HOPPER
The Induction hopper is used to mix phytosanitary
powders and liquids while the main tank is being lled.
This feature ensures that the product is mixed
perfectly with the water and makes the work easier
at the same time.
There are three different ways of mixing:
1 - By drawing liquid from the main tank.
2 - By drawing liquid from the rinsing tank.
3 - By drawing it in from outside.
NOTE:
When the lever (C) is in position
,
drawing in from outside is cut off.
In case 2, drawing in clean water has several
advantages:
• Beingable to rinse accessories, cans and the
hopper with clean water.
• Being able to clean the induction hopper circuit
immediately after use.
NOTE:
It is necessary to partly ll the main
tank (
4.2) before incorporating in the
hopper.
