It is very important to keep the safety stickers in location and in good condition as they draw your attention
to possible dangers and refer to the operator's manual.
Check their location on the sprayer and see their meaning in manual 82.471 (sprayers safety, checks

the water, and makes spraying operations easier.
3 possibilities:
1 - Water in the main tank used:
put the indexes on Berlogic function 2 .
2 - Water in the rinsing tank used:
put the indexes on Berlogic function 4 .
3 - Externally drawn water used:
put the indexes on Berlogic function 3 .
- Engage the switch which allows the pump to
engage.
- Bring the engine speed up to at least 1,200 rpm.
- To rapidly empty the hopper:
replace the cover,
open the valve (E) to position 3 (figure 4).
- The product is draw up into and incorporated in the
sprayer tank.

PHASE 1 - RINSING OF THE MAIN TANK, HOPPER AND MIXING SYSTEMS WITH
THE TANK FULL OF WATER
(Use half of the rinsing tank; the other half will be used to rinse the spray system)
OPERATIONS PERFORMED IN THE FIELD
Stop the pump drive.
- Rinsing the main tank:
Put the indexes on Berlogic function 6 (figure 8).
- Power up the control box, item (1) (figure 6).
- Close the spray system. To do this, press
pushbutton (3) on the handle (P) (figure 6).
- Engage the pump's hydraulic drive and bring
engine speed to 1,200 rpm.
- Rinsing the incorporation hopper circuit:
- Place the index (2) (figure 8) on Berlogic
function 4 .
- Rinsing the mixing circuit:
- Place the index (1) (figure 8) to position + to
begin mixing.
- Place the indexes on function 5 (spraying).
- Open the spraying (figure 6): place the switch(es)
(2) on the right of the box (4), the indicator lights
(b) come on, then press the pushbutton (3) on the
handle (P). Engage the pump's hydraulic drive and
bring engine speed up to at least 1,200 rpm.
- After rinsing the circuits, crops can be sprayed
with the liquid remaining in the bottom of the tank.

OTHER SPRAYER
FUNCTIONS

MIXING OPERATION
- The mixing boom is used to obtain a homogenous product mixture in the tank, both before and during spraying
operations. Mixing can be varied by means of function "5 - SPRAYING", to accomplish this:
with DUALMATIC, vary the position of the index (1) (figure 8) between + and - ,
with DUALELEC, the agitation percentage can be varied on the screen, or use the automatic mixing modulation
if your unit is equipped with an electric gauge. In this case, agitation variation, based on the liquid level in the
tank, allows the mixing intensity to be reduced to the point where it stops entirely. Shut-down corresponds
to the low level of liquid in the tank (this level is factory set).
TAPE GAUGE
- A tape gauge (1) (figure 10), highly visible from inside the self-propelled cab, is located on top of the main
tank.
HANDWASH TANK
- Hygiene and comfort: a 45-litre fresh water tank (1) (figure 13) built into the sprayer's covers and independent
from the rinsing tank, allows you to wash your hands or any other part of your body (face, eyes,...) that may
have come in contact with the product.
- The tap (2) is easily accessible in the compartment.
- Washing, by opening the tap (2) more or less according to the required flow rate.
- It is ESSENTIAL for the handwash tank to be filled with clean water, through the lid (3), without any
pressure.
RINSING TANK
- The rinsing tank (1) (figure 12) is located in front of the main tank.
- It is ESSENTIAL for the rinsing tank to be filled with clean water, through the lid (3), without any pressure.
- Its fill level is indicated by a clear gauge (2) which is visible from the self-propelled cab.

PROCEDURE
- A detergent should preferably be used to facilitate cleaning: All Clear (5 l), BERTHOUD reference 788.796 or
All Clear Extra NF (5 l) BERTHOUD reference 788.792.
- Refer to the detergent manufacturer's instructions regarding exposure time and dilution. To do this, consult
the instructions on the product.
- Generally speaking, spray the product on the spray using a hand sprayer, scrub as required then rinse with
clean water.

DELIVERY FILTER
- The delivery filter (1) (figure 19) is located between the
pump and the distribution, at the control station.
- It provides additional filtration.
- To clean the filter cartridge, you must put the indexes
on Berlogic function 9 (see page 24).

Reminder:
36
The original factory-installed filter cartridge mesh is 4/10 (8/10 mesh is available separately
for liquid fertilizer).

PUMP PROTECTION
OMEGA PUMP
To ensure that the pump is completely drained in freezing conditions, remove the plugs ((1) drainage, (2) vent)
and allow the water or slurry to drain for at least 15 minutes. Replace the plug (1) and fill the pump with antifreeze
via the opening (2). Replace the plug (2).
NOTE: This operation can be done at the same time as the winter storage operations (see page 35).
