5.1 PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
Regular cleaning:
By cleaning your machine regularly during and at the
end of the spraying season:
you will avoid spreading phytosanitary residues on
the crops,
you will ensure the product is evenly distributed by
preventing total or partial blockage of the nozzles,
you will increase the life span of your crop sprayer.
Formation of foam in the tank
If this happens, reduce the engine speed to less than
540 rpm or add an anti-foam additive to the contents
of the tank when lling.
Last lling:
When you ll the tank for the last time, only add the
quantity of water and product required to spray the
remaining surface of the eld.
End-of-spraying maintenance:
WARNING:
Carry out maintenance operations on
your crop sprayer with the tractor's
engine off, ignition stopped and the
power take-off disconnected.
IMPORTANT:
Do not add fuel-oil to the spray mixture as
an anti-foaming agent.
