1 EFFECTS OF CERTAIN PESTICIDES ON THE FIELD SPRAYER
At the time of manufacture of the machine, the manufacturer is aware of some of
the authorised pesticides and mixtures which can have damaging effects on the
field sprayer materials. These are usually solvent-based pesticides and mixtures
such as BETANAL with TRAMAT, (BETANAL-TANDEM), ELANCOLAN, ILOXAN,
LASSO, MUDECAN, RACER, RIPCORD 40, TERIDOX, STOMP, liquid manure
(AHL) but also
Mixtures with AHL: ALANDAN, or liquid NEXID 100.
Damaging effects can also occur with the subsequent products of the above
materials and mixtures.
IMPORTANT!
For mixtures not “covered” by any equipment application, it
is recommended to test the materials mentioned above with
several hours of submersion tests before starting work.
Pesticides or other substances which tend to harden or stick
must not be used with the machine.
ATTENTION!
The usage instructions of the respective pesticide
manufacturer must be strictly followed before starting work.
The equipment parts which can be affected by the pesticides mentioned above
are usually hoses, spray lines, seals, tanks and pump diaphragms.
If hoses become particularly soft or seals or diaphragms swell, these are signs of
damaging effects. The affected parts must then be replaced immediately. These
damaging effects can often be avoided if the machine is intensively flushed
immediately after dispensing the materials and mixtures shown above (e.g. rinsing
and disposal of the technical residues on the field).
