10 RINSING EQUIPMENT BEFORE FIRST USE Before using your sprayer for the first time with phytosanitary product (weedkillers, insecticide or other product), rinse the machine completely. - Remove the nozzles if they are fitted. - Undo the end plugs on the pipes. - Fill 1/5th of the volume of the tank with water. - Spray (Refer to the pump OPERATION section). - Remove and clean the filters. - Retighten the pipe end plugs. - Fit the nozzles. -Any foreign particles which may be in the hydraulic circuit will thus be eliminated and there will be no risk of them blocking the holes in the nozzles. CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY TIME BEFORE THE MACHINE IS USED - Check the condition of the protectors on the drive shafts. - Make sure that there is no foreign matter in the tank. - Check the condition of the winch and the boom lifting cable or rope. - Check the oil levels and the greasing of the various elements (see "lubrication and greasing" section). - Check the cleanness of the filters: - suction, - delivery. CALCULATING BOOM FLOW PER MINUTE -To obtain the desired flow rate/minute for the boom, apply the following formula: Volume hectare x Width treated x Forward speed Boom flow = Example: We wish to spray 500 litres/hectare with a 12 meters boom and at a calibrated tractor speed of 6.8 km/h. 500 x 12 x 6.8 We obtain: Boom flow per minute = = 68 litres/minute It is most important that maximum pump flow should satisfy the demands made on it for the desired spraying conditions (advance speed, volume/hectare, width treated). - The boom flow per minute should be 10 % less than maximum pump flow. Pump GAMA 101 GAMA 130 GAMA 160 Maximum pump flow 105 l/mn 130 l/mn 160 l/mn Maximum boom flow 95 l/mn 117 l/mn 144 l/mn Minimum return flow to tank 10 l/mn 13 l/mn 16 l/mn 10

31 OTHER SPRAYER FUNCTIONS 31

32 SAFETY VALVE - The valve (figure 15) is fitted directly to the pump discharge manifold. - It is adjusted to 16.5 bar pressure. - The function of the safety valve is to prevent overpres-sure which could result in operation problems (liquid hammer). SUCTION FILTER FOR GAMA 101 PUMP (figure 16) - The "vannofilter" is fitted with a closing valve. The filter (6/10 mesh) can be cleaned, even when the tank is full. -To remove the filter place the tap in position (1) (closed, the tank is isolated). Release the star knob (3) and the filter is accessible. - After cleaning make sure the tap is returned to position (2) (open). FOR GAMA 130 PUMP (figure 17) - Unscrew the large nut (5), and you can remove the filter cartridge (4). DELIVERY FILTER - This is located between the pump and regulation valve. - Provides additional filtration. -To remove the filter cartridge (4/10 mesh) unscrew the filter housing (6) (figure 18) using a 27 mm spanner (not supplied with equipment). - The filter cartridge should be cleaned after each utilisation. Grease the seals. Reminder: The original filter cartridge mesh is 4/10 (8/10 mesh is available separately for liquid fertilizer). CLEANING THE FILTERS - Place all valves in position 5 (figure 19) (the position of valve (E) is not important). - Place all valves in position 7 (figure 19). RINSING THE TANK (OPTION) STIRRING - Hydraulic stirring by non-sprayed liquid return to tank and HYDROMAX. HANDWASH TANK -For hygiene and convenience: a 18 litres water tank, independent of the rinse tank; this allows washing of hands and all body parts (face, eyes,...) than can be affected by spray product splashes. -To use the tank, turn on tap (8) (figure 20) to the setting that gives the required flow. -A soap tray (7) is placed bearby. MAINTENANCE OF PLASTIC VALVES - Thick mixes used for treatments are either solutions, suspensions or emulsions. - The solvents present in the mixes can lead to the expansion of some seals. This seems to the case for plastic plug valves. -If, despite appropriate maintenance, these valves become blocked there is a quick remedy to this problem : Case of valves (R) (figure 21) - Slacken flange (9) by 1/8 turn until the plug turns normally, without special force being used. Do not overslacken, to prevent leakage. 32

34 DRAINING THE TANK - Open valve (1) (located under the tank) in position (a) (figure 22). FLOAT GAUGE (OPTIONAL) -To release the graduated column (3) push part (2) in the direction indicated by arrow (figure 23). 2-SPEED REDUCTION GEAR FOR GAMA PUMP (OPTIONAL) - This is used for low volume treatments (BETANAL) (figure 24) -D outlet (direct takeoff) : speed of rotation = 540 rpm. -R outlet (reduction gear): speed of rotation = 270 rpm. - Oil capacity of reduction gear: 0.25 litre. - (4) filler orifice, - (5) level, - (6) draining orifice. We recommend SAE 30 oil type MOBIL DTE EXTRA HEAVY or ELF POLYTELIS 150 FILLER CANE -To incorporate thick mixes during the filling operation. - Puth cane (8) into the liquid to be sucked out and open valve (7) (figure 25). CHASSIS STAYS - Depending on sprayer model, retractable stays may be fitted to the chassis. - For 1000 and 1200 litres (figure 26): - Before parking the sprayer on a flat and stable area check that the stays (9) of the chassis have been extended. - During spray operations the stays (9) can be retracted under the sprayer chassis. - For 1500 litres (figure 27): - Pin (10) in position (A) or (B) = rest (depending on tractor hitch configuration). - Pin (10) in position (C) = work. RUNNING BOARD - An anti-skid running board (11) (figure 28) gives safe access to the man hole. - During treatment, retract the running board according to the arrow to avoid damage to the vegetation. 34 HYDRAULIC PIPERUNS - When the equipment is taken down the hydraulic piperuns must be placed on a support (12) (figure 29) to avoid any dirt. -A neutral support is also provided for the plugs which must be kept clean and free from oxidation.

36 HEIGHT OF THE BOOM - 50 cm to 80 cm above the surface to be treated depending on the spray angle of the nozzles and their spacing. - If the boom is higher, there is a risk of drift. - For less drift, use the air injection nozzles (see page 26). FOAMING IN THE TANK -If this occurs, reduce the PTO revs to less than 540 rpm or add an anti-foaming additive to the contents of the tank when filling. Do not add fuel oil to the spraying mixture as an anti-foaming agent. LAST FILLING OPERATION - When filling the tank for the last time, add only the amount of water and chemical necessary to spray the remaining area. RINSE TANK - It is ESSENTIAL to fill the rinsing tank with clear water through the cover (1) (figure 30), without any pressure

37 MAINTENANCE OF THE SPRAYER See also manual No "Safety, Checks, Maintenance". 37

38 PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SERVICING OF YOUR SPRAYER - By cleaning your sprayer regularly during and at the end of treatment campaigns: -you will avoid spreading phytosanitary residues on the crops, -you will ensure a good distribution of the product, while eliminating total or partial blockage of the nozzles, -you will increase your sprayer's life. Carry out the sprayer's maintenance operations with the engine switched off, the ignition off and the power take-off disconnected. MAINTENANCE AFTER OPERATION - It is also important to rinse the sprayer on the outside as well as the tractor. - This cleaning is also essential on the same day between two applications of different products. PROCEDURE - Remove the filters. - Fill the tank to 20 % full with water and add detergent (All Clear reference , 1 litre can or , 5 litre can). - Operate the sprayer for a short period. - Rock the sprayer by moving tractor forward and backward with a view to agitation water in the tank. - Leave mixture to act for hours. - Start the agitation and advance and reverse the tractor several times, then empty using the drain valve or the stopper. - Put some clean water in tank. - Unscrew a nozzle (remove insert and plug) at the end of each boom element. - Rinse with clean water. - Remove all nozzles and filters, and clean them. - Reassemble. - See section "Servicing the boom". WINTER STORAGE - The sprayer should be wintered in a clean condition (see above). - Completely drain the liquid circuit, making sure that the pump is not operated too long without water (2 minutes maximum). - Grease all mechanical parts that can rust. - Deoxidize the contacts on the power plugs (BERTHOUD reference the KF F2 aerosol). - Clean the outside of the machine. Paint the mechanical parts exposed (BERTHOUD reference for the blue paint aerosol or for the green paint aerosol). - Garage the machine out of the sunlight and protected against inclement weather and on flat, load-bearing ground. 38

39 SERVICING THE BOOM - After each use, rinse the pipework thoroughly, operating the machine for several minutes with clear water. -Drain the pipework, particularly if there is a risk of frost. -Keep the hinges on the arms, the bearing surfaces of the hinge cam and the uprights on the fixed frame greased. - After cleaning the boom with a high pressure sprayer, grease the cylinder shaft to avoid any risk of corrosion. -Touch up the paintwork as necessary (BERTHOUD reference for the blue paint aerosol). For more information on the spray boom, refer to the latter's technical sheet in the booklet's flap. LUBRICATION AND GREASING CHECK THE PUMP OIL LEVEL - For GAMA 101/130 pumps (figure 31) - The level must reach the notch on the gauge (1). - Mark (2) : total draining of pump. - Oil capacity of pumps - GAMA 101/130 = 1.40 litre. - GAMA 160 = 1.70 litre. PTO SHAFT -For each use: GREASE + PIPES. SAE 30 oil BERTHOUD reference litre can. ELF EPEXA 2 or MOBILUX EP2 grease. Change the oil every campaign
