13- MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE SPRAYER
- After nishing the application, clean and wash
all equipment in an approved decontamination
area.
Pump the lever until the dis-
charge runs clear.
ATTENTION: Remove all chemicals before storing
the sprayer. Chemical products have different re-
actions and can damage the sprayer components
and environment as well as cause personal injury.
- Periodically, clean the chamber and lubricate
the components as shown. With oil.
- Remove the chamber and lubricate the piston
cups. With oil.
Even the containers considered empty contain chemical residues.
Some publications show that aproximately 0.3% of the chemicals remains in the container
after being used.
Therefore, discarding the containers without washing out the residues is extremely dan-
gerous to man, animals and environment.
In the case of metal, plastic and glass chemical containers, each container must be rinsed
three times to ensure the residues are completely removed.
This manual describeds how to make the TRIPLE WASH in a correct, safe and effective
way.
-During the TRIPLE WASH, you must use appropriate protective clothing, such as: gloves, apron,
boots, goggles and protective masks with appropriate lters.
- IMMEDIATELY AFTER emptying the container, you must keep it with
the opening upside down over the sprayer tank opening or over the
bucket that you are using to prepare the chemical mixture for at least
30 seconds, until no residue is left in the container.
- Next, hold the container in the upright position and ll it
with water up to 1/4. For example: in a 5.2 gallons
container, put 1.3 gallons of water.
- Fit the container cap and tighen enough to avoid leakage
during the agitation.
- Agitate the container vigorousty in all directions (horizontal and
vertical), for approximately 30 seconds to remove the
residues that cling to the container internal walls.
