13- MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE SPRAYER
- After finishing the spray application, clean and
wash all equipment in an approved deconta-
mination area.
Pump the lever until the discharge runs clear.
ATTENTION:
Remove all chemicals before storing the
sprayer. Chemical products have different
reactions and can damage the sprayer compo-
nents as well as cause personal injury.
- Periodically, clean the chamber and lubricate the
components as shown.
- Remove the chamber and lubricate the piston cups.
Even the containers considered empty contain chemical residues.
Some publications show that somewhere around 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 describes 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 filters.
- 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, when the drops are
falling in long intervals
.
- Next, hold the container in the upright position and fill it
with water up to 1/4. For example: in a 4 gallon container,
put 1 gallon of water.
- Fit the container cap and tighten enough to avoid leakage
during the agitation.
- Agitate the container vigorously in all directions (horizontal
and vertical), for approximately 30 seconds to remove the
residues that cling to the container internal walls.
