Cleaning after treatment

Cleaning in a leak tight area

WARNING

  • Comply with all local, state/provincial, and federal/national requirements applicable to the waste disposal of any spray liquid residues or leftover chemicals.

  • Comply with all local road laws when transporting or moving the machine on public roads.

INFORMATION

  • The watertight area must be connected to an active slurry tank or treatment system.

  • Use suitable containers to collect the spray liquid residues.


Before moving to a watertight site

  1. Make sure the pump is switched off.

  1. Set the valves in Cleaning Tank System position mode.

INFORMATION

Do not use this 3D illustration as reference. Refer to the blue position modes table.

  1. Start the pump and run for 2 minutes.

  2. Stop the pump.

  3. Set the valves in Spraying position mode.

  4. Start the pump and run for 1 minute.

  5. Stop the pump.

  6. Set the valves in Cleaning Spraying System position mode.

  7. Start the pump.

  1. On the app, activate Flushing mode and spray in a safe, non-sensitive area for 2 minutes.

  1. Before moving to a watertight site, follow the following procedure (Checks before road transport).


On a watertight site

  1. Make sure the pump is turned off.


  1. Connect the spray mixture tank to the collecting system via the drain connection on the bottom of the tank.

  2. Open the drain valve and drain off any residual spray mixture.

  3. Close the drain valve when the spray mixture tank is empty.

  1. Open the L1 lever of the mixer.

  2. Start the pump and circulate 20 L | 5.2 US gal of water.

  3. Stop the pump.

  4. Set the valves in Cleaning Agitation System position mode.

  5. Start the pump and rinse the agitation system with 10 L | 2.6 US gal of water per zone.

  6. Stop the pump.

  7. Set the valves in Cleaning Mixture Tank position mode.

  8. Start the pump and fill the spray mixture tank with an additional 30 L | 7.9 US gal of water.

INFORMATION

Detergent can be added for cleaning the fluid circuit. Follow the manufacturer's recommended dosages.

  1. Stop the pump.

  2. Set the valves in Spraying position mode.

  1. On the app, activate Flushing mode and spray until the pump is de-primed.

  1. Restart at point 8 with 40 L | 10 US gal of water and then 30 L | 8 US gal of water.


  1. Remove and clean the suction filter and the section filter (Cleaning).

  2. Check the nozzles (Nozzle check).


Cleaning in the field

INFORMATION

We strongly advise against cleaning the machine in the field. This procedure requires a considerable amount of time and water. It is advisable to clean the machine in a sealed area.

The machine is cleaned in 4 dilutions, with the following volumes of rinse water:

  1. Calculate residual volume:

    1. Vres = dead volume (5 L | 1.3 US gal) + tank bottom volume

    2. Rinse water volume 1 = Vwater_1 = Vres × 5

    3. Rinse water volume 2 = Vwater_2 = Vres × 4 (+ detergent)

    4. Rinse water volume 3 = Vwater_3 = Vres × 3

    5. Rinse water volume 4 = Vwater_4 = Vres × 3

  2. Make sure the pump is turned off.

  1. Position the valves in Cleaning Mixer position mode.

  1. Start the pump and fill the spray mixture tank with 10 % of Vwater_1 (10 L | 2.2 US gal minimum).

  2. Stop the pump.

  3. Set the valves in Cleaning Agitation System position mode.

  4. Start the pump and fill the spray mixture tank with 10% of V_water, alternating between HIGH + LOW zone and LOW zone of the agitation system.

  5. Stop the pump.

  6. Set the valves in Cleaning Mixture Tank position mode.

  7. Start the pump and fill the spray mixture tank with the remaining V_water_1.

  8. Stop the pump.

  9. Set the valves in Spraying position mode.

  10. Start the pump.

  11. Let it run for 10 minutes.

  12. On the app, activate Flushing mode and spray the diluted spray mixture while driving at least 8 km/h over an untreated area until the pressure drops.

  13. Deactivate Flushing mode.

  14. Repeat operations 2 to 16 with Vwater_2, adding detergent.

Follow the manufacturer's recommended dosages.

  1. Repeat operations 2 to 16 with Vwater_3.

  2. Repeat operations 2 to 16 with Vwater_4.

  3. Stop the pump.

  4. Remove and clean the suction filter and the section filter (Cleaning).

  5. Check the nozzles (Nozzle check).
