Calculate Water &
Chemical Quan ti ties
Before spraying it is necessary to
calculate the exact quantities of water
and chemical needed to spray the
required area. The following formulae
may be useful:
1 For chemical rates expressed in
litres or kg per hectare (land area),
calculate the amount of chemical
needed, using the formula:
Chemicals required (litres) =
Tank Volume (l) x Recommended
Chemical Rate (l/ha)
÷ Spray
Application Rate (l/ha)
eg. [4000 x 3] ÷ 150
= 80 litres.
Accurately calculate the amount of chemical required.
2 For volume of mixture required
to spray the selected area, calculate
the liquid required, using the following
formula:
Tank Volume Required (litres) =
Area (ha) x Spray Application Rate (l/ha)
eg. 300 x 150
= 45,000 litres
3 For area covered by a given
volume of mixture, calculate the
area, using the following formula:
Area Covered (ha) =
Tank Volume (litres) ÷ Spray
Application Rate (l/ha)
eg. 4000 ÷ 150
= 26.7 hectares
Adding Chemical To
the Main tank
Chemical can be added to the main tank
using the Chem-E-Flush hopper, and/or if
fi tted, the optional Chemical Probe.
1 Optional Chem-E-Flush
Hopper
To add chemical to the main tank, follow
the steps outlined:
a) Make sure suffi cient water is added
to the main tank and the fl ush tank.
(b) Unlock the Chem-E-Flush dropdown leg lock.
b) Unlock the Chem-E-Flush dropdown
leg lock by placing your foot on the
bottom of the leg and rotating the
latch.
c) Lower the hopper to fi lling position.
(c) Lower the hopper to fi lling position.
IMPORTANT! Be sure to mix only enough spray
mixture to cover the area required. Avoid wastage
and problems of needless chemical disposal.
