Environment
±
WARNING! It is essential to reduce the environmental impact of plant protection chemicals to a minimum. Particularly
the soil, subsoil water, streams, lakes, flora and fauna must be in focus. Contamination of subsoil water must be
prevented by paying particular attention to avoidance of spot contamination of the soil in connection with filling and
washing and parking of the sprayer.
±
WARNING! If any concentrated chemicals are spilled on the soil, the contaminated soil should be removed and sent
for cleaning at a capable facility. This to avoid seepage of chemicals to the subsoil waters. Avoid spillage - use the
chemical filling device for filling the sprayer with chemicals.
μ
ATTENTION! Before filling the sprayer with plant protection chemicals, the sprayer must be calibrated to apply the
precise dose rate selected. The important input sensors are the flowmeter and the speed sensor.
μ
ATTENTION! It is recommended to establish a proper filling and washing location with hard, impenetrable surface
drained to a receptacle if the sprayer is always filled or cleaned on the same spot at the farm. If a washing/filling
location is NOT available, the following precautions should be taken:
μ
ATTENTION! The sprayer should only be filled with clean water at the farm and the plant protection chemicals must
be added and mixed in the field that is going to be sprayed. Select a different location each time the sprayer is refilled.
