 Safety

General recommendations

This equipment, due to the nature of its function and design, and while in
active operation or not, may potentially endanger the operators physical
integrity or any other third party who may be in the surroundings of the
machine.
It is of outmost importance that the operator be trained for his task. More-
over, the operator should have duly read and understood the instructions
contained in this Operators Manual. He must be aware of the dangerous
nature of his tasks.
Instructions concerning the protection and maintenance of the machine
are to be equally considered, assuring its proper functioning and working
life.
Here is a list of recommendations concerning safety, ordered according
to the type of risk they may cause. However, this list does not cover the
complete range of possibilities for the task.

DANGER and ATTENTION or WARNING indicators

Please pay attention to the mainly used indicators related to personal safe-
ty, inherent to the machine, and depicted in this Manual.

White exclamation marks on black background with the word DANGER
show a situation of imminent danger. Failing to avoid its consequences
may result in death or seriuos injuries.
The same symbol with the word WARNING or PRECAUTION mean the
same as DANGER but in a lower degree.
A black exclamation mark within a white triangle with a black frame warns
about potential risks. (See pictures)

Safety recommendations regarding the equipment

No person shall be allowed to operate the PLA equipment without being

duly trained and without having read the instructions of this Operators
Manual thoroughly.
The machine shall be kept in proper work conditions. Maintenance regard-
ing the type of operation, as well as frequency and materials used, are to
be respected.
Missing or damaged parts and accessories are to be replaced.
The machine shall no be modified without the duly authorization of the
manufacturers for it may affect its working life and annul the Guarantee
granted.

7
 Safety recommendations for the operator regarding
the manning of the equipment (operation or transport)

Safety seatbelts are to be used without exception.

Areas on which the operator will work (access areas, stairs, walking areas,
etc.) must be clean and dry to prevent accidents.
Safety indicators must be kept in good conditions and must be clear from
obstructions for its proper reading.
The equipment must not be operated within a closed area unless there is
proper air conditioning to evacuate escape gases.
The machine must not be used to transport flammable liquids or other
products not specific to the work.
No alcoholic drinks, pain killers or stimulants, among others, must be
drunk or eaten before working.
Before starting the engine, the joystick must be in dead center.

chine is working.
When the machine is stopped, the lever must be in dead center and the
parking brake must be activated.
All person must be kept away from moving parts without protection or
shields, depending on the design.
In case the engine stops or the steering system is damaged, the hydrostatic
system permits the equipment to be guided; but the machine should be
moved at a slow pace to avoid using more energy than necessary to move
the wheels. Obviously the problem must be solved immediately.
From and towards the operation site, all sprayer systems commands must
be disconnected.
Before getting out of the machine, the parking brake must be put, the
engine STOP must be activated, and the starting key removed.
Intermittent lights must be on when circulating on paths or public roads,
and traffic rules must be followed.

Safety recommendations for the
operator in operation

Safety in the wings

It is necessary to ensure that no person is on the wings when they open or
close. The movement of the wings must be checked when they are in the
working position.
The wings must be closed and secured while moving the equipment.

Noises
Being exposed to long periods of intense noise may cause decrease or loss
of hearing. Thus, the use of ear protectors is obligatory.

Fluids under high pressure

The equipment must be stopped and cold before checking the fluids ex-
posed to high pressure.
Air, hydraulic, or fuel conducts must not be opened when under pressure.
Hands must not be used to detect posibles leakeges.
Any fluid exposed to high pressure may cause severe injuries in the eyes or
skin. Any person who may be injured for this reason must be carried to the
nearest medical center.

Spraying
Hoses, connections, clamps, joints, etc. must be kept in perfect condition
of use in order to avoid fluid loss or dripping.
All nozzle must have anti-dripping valves.
When there is a change in the flow in more than a 10% of the specified
measure for that particular cap, the cap drop must be replaced.
Never try to uncover the peaks blowing with their mouths.
For no reason to use containers of food or drink, thus avoiding fatal mis-
takes.
As long as possible, personnel rotation should be set so as to avoid toxic or
dangerous application tasks (Class A and B) for longer than half a shift.
Chemicals must no be sprayed when the wind speed exceeds the manu-
facturers recommendations.
While in operation, no food, drink, or smoking is allowed.
Before getting ouf of the cabin, the personal protection suit must be put
on as recommended for the use of pesticides. When entering again, the
protection suit must be removed and placed outside the cabin in a her-
metic container or plastic bag.
The suit must be cleaned up at the end of the working day in order to
avoid accumulation of waste, ensuring the most favorable working condi-
tions for the following working day.

9
 Chemical products manipulation

A
gricultural chemical products may be dangerous. Their unadequate se-
lection or use may cause severe damage to people, animals, plants, soils,
or any other object whatsoever. It is necessary to ensure the selection of an
adequate chemical product, to manipulate it carefully, and to follow the
instructions on the container label and the manufacturer equipment.
Protective suits and clothes must be worn pursuant to the international
rules for its manipulation.
Chemicals must NEVER be in contact with the skin or the eyes.
In case of direct contact with any part of the body, it must be cleaned up
immediately according to the instructions by the chemicals manufacturer.
Prepare the necessary amount of fluid in order to avoid throwing away un-
necessary amounts of waste.
After each operation with chemical products, hands must be washed up
with water and soap.
The cabin filter may NOT neutralize dangerous chemicals (follow the
chemical manufacturers instructions).
To fill, clean up, calibrate, and depollute the machine, select an area from
which the waste cannot flow towards animals, vegetation, water supplies,
or ordinary human circulation areas, and eventually cause pollution.
Wastes must not be thrown away on the soil, drains, or water supplies.
Safe containers must be used to drain fluids.
Elements such as used filters and oils must be discarded. On the contrary,
it is necessary to use safe elements as provided by law.

Storage of chemical products

Products must be stored in an exclusive and dry place, away from fire
hazard, and locked, according to the conditions provided by the manufac-
turer.
Toxic or dangerous products must be kept in a special place, with an air
flow, absolutely away from children, and locked.
Products must be kept in their original package, with their labels. They
must never be put in containers which may be used for feeding purposes.
Throughout the treatment, empty products, containers, or packages must
never be put close to children or animals.

Chemical products containers

Agrochemical products containers must never be used for purposes other

than the specific ones. Once used, they must be burnt or buried.
Containers must be burnt when specified on their labels and the smoke
must not be inhaled.
Containers or products wastes must no be buried close to water suppliers.
Containers, funnels, or hoses of other applications must not be used to
manipulate agrochemicals, even with small quantities.
The remaining of the products must be stored in their original containers,
properly closed.

10
 Containers of adequate features and capacities must be used to drain ag-
rochemicals.
Before destroying empty containers, they must be cleaned up three times.
When possible, containers must be sent to a recycling center.

Protection of the environment

General warnings
It must be necessary to prepare the exact amount of fluid according to the
hectares to be worked on, avoiding remaining amounts.
Fluid waste and clean up water must be sprayed and diluted on the same
or similar soil on which an operation was carried out.
In the application of any fitosanitary product, the lacking time must be
respected.
The products must not reach any flow, stream, water current, watering
and drain cannals or ponds, etc.

Protection of nearest cultivations

It is necessary to avoid the misuse of products outside the planned applica-
tion area.

An adequate type of cap must be chosen, which can be better adapted to
the conditions of each treatment, regarding the prevailing environmental
conditions upon application.

Protection of bees and other polynizing insects

Special care must be taken while using fitosanitary products in the pres-
ence of bees and other polinizing insects.

Protection of water suppliers

Upon loading, special care must be taken regarding the maintenance and
functioning of the retention valve which allows the water flow to pass in
one direction only towards the tank, preventing the liquid polluted with
fitosanitary products from returning.

Safety in Maintenance

Maintenance tasks are not to be carried out when the engine is on.
The engine is not to be started in closed spaces. Escape toxic gases cause
asfixiation in a few minutes.
Brake liquids and battery acids are to be manipulated thoroughly.
In case of accidental drinking of any product of this nature, it is necessary
to drink a great amount of milk and look for medical assistance.

11
 It is necessary not to work under suspended elements without securing the
lifting cylinders.
High pressure liquids spouts (fuel, hydraulic liquids, etc.) may trespass the
skin and cause serious injuries.
Before any repair, systems must lack pressure.
During maintenance, a notice reading UNDER MAINTENANCE must be
put.
Before repairing the electrical system, the contact key must be removed
and the negative cable of the battery disconnected.
Should the machine need to be welded, battery cables must be discon-
nected. This instruction must be thoroughly followed to avoid irreparable
damage to computarized systems.
It is necessary to stay away from belts, chains, gearings, pulleys or any
other part in motion. Loosen clothes may get trapped by them.
Adjustments on parts in motion should be carried out only in special ocas-
sions and with regard to all necessary warnings.
Adequate tools are to be used. Any improvisation may cause accidents or
detriment to the quality of work.
Before repairing or revising the machine, it is advisable to have all neces-
sary parts and tools.
Special care must me taken when lifting the machine to remove the wheels.
The machine must be placed on adequate wedges or easels, fixed to the
hydraulic cylinder.
In case a wheel threatens to fall while trying to move it, no additional effort
must be made to hold it. Just step aside immediately.
The suggested pressure must be respected when calibrating the tyres. Ex-
cessive calibration may deteriorate the tyre.
Flames must never be caused unless everything is clear and free from leak-
ages. However, a fire extinguisher must be kept in perfect conditions of
use, checking its charge periodically.
Belts or chains must not be removed or put when the engine is on.
Before refueling the machine, the engine must be off and the contact key
removed. Fuel tanks must not be filled in closed spaces. Any fuel leakage
must be cleaned up immediately.

12
 Safety indicators

Safety indicators are placed strategically on the ma-

chine and its accessories, warning the operator about any
potential risk. Risks may be present due to:

A mechanical action:
Motion of the machine
Motion of the wings
Falling from heights
Slipping or bumps, etc.

A chemical action:
Dangerous contact with agrochemicals
Acid solutions burns
Liquids under pressure or temperature, etc.

Deteriorated or illegible stickers must be removed and

equally replaced. Each sticker has a code number on it
and may be requested to PLA as parts.
Before sticking them, the surface must be cleaned up to
ensure perfect adherence.

 Purpose of the machine
General recommendations
The use of herbicides and fitosanitary prod-
ucts is becoming more often in agriculture. In
most of the cases, the product to be used is
more important than the machine itself.
The self-propeller sprayers designs provide
the user with the best solutions to obtain a per-
fect balance among the application width, the
exact dosage of the product, the uniformity in
the application on the cultivation and the maxi-
mum area of application without refills.
With its different models and configurations,
PLA is pleased to offer the most suitable tool for
each and every need and explotation.
The equipment can be described as two
complementary systems: the propeller and the
sprayer systems.
The propeller system includes the engine, the
clutch system and the gear box, the differential,
the brakes, the steering, and all auxiliary ele-
ments.
The sprayer system consists of a device to
mix the product, a water loading system, a
tank for the prepared product (fluid), a sprayer
pump, wings with sprayer nozzle and pipes,
valves and regulators to achive the goal men-
tioned before.
Moreover, the following items are also in-
cluded: the hydraulic system which originates
the power to fold and lift the wings, among
other tasks, to facilitate the manning of the
equipment.
PLA machines can vary from basic simple sys-
tems to the most automatized and complete,
depending on the model and configuration.
This is the reason why PLA uses the most mod-
ern technology to manufacture self-propelled
sprayers, incorporating the most advanced con-
trol, dosage and sprayer systems and delivering
an ideal tool to achieve the main goal.
Effectivity of the product
Before starting the treatment be sure to use
suitable high quality products.
Adequate moment for the treatment
It depends on the cultivation stage and the
weather conditions. But given the number of
variables, it is convenient to consult an agrono-
mist.
Uniformity and exact dosage in the applica-
tion of the product
To achieve this goal the sprayer must be ad-
equately regulated, and the nozzles, pumps,
taps, regulation system, filters and nozzle bars
must be in perfect conditions.
Nozzles: they adequately distribute and ap-
ply the product and are selected with reference
to the treatment.
Nozzles suffer the deterioration of use, affect-
ing a proper distribution. It is necessary to con-
trol their condition regularly and replace those
with a variation in a 10% aproximately.
Pumps: they transform the mechanical en-
ergy of the sprayer into hydraulic energy which
Fig. 3
15
drives the liquid, against the pipes, filters and
nozzles resistance, getting to them with the
most adequate pressure to apply the product.
Throughout the circuit, pressures are measured
with a manometer and are expressed in bar (ki-
logram per square centimeter).
Specific tasks for use and non use
Sprayers must be used exclusively for the pur-
poses of its design: spray chemical products.
It must not be used to transport or tow other
items, or for other non specified purposes.
tions, the cultivation and the target.
2. The boom must be as low as posible with-
out prejudicing the overlapping of the sprin-
kling of the caps.
3. Low-drift and air-assisted caps must be used.
4. The wind tunnel must be used.
5. The pressure used by the user must be the
one recommended by the manufacturer.
6. Assisting items must be used when neces-
sary.
7. Works under a wind of 12 km. p/h, 55% RH,

sen product.
2. Delimit the lot and determine the lines on
which the equipment will pass.
3. Get information about short term weather
conditions.
4. Follow the recommendations of the prod-
uct attentively to determine the adequacy
of the treatment, depending on the time
and the condition of the pests, underbushes
or illnesses.
5. Upon preparation of the fluid, calcute, as
accurate as possible, the amount of prod-
uct to be used so as to avoid remaining por-
tions when the treatment is finished.

Drift by wind
A drift is any drop which does not hit the
target due to wind, evaporation, lifting or drip-
ping.
In order to decrease the amount of drift, the
following situations must be considered:

1. The drop size must not be excessively big

to drip, nor excessively small to be carried
by the wind, or evaporate or lift. The ideal
size shall depend on the weather condi- Fig. 4

16
Boom height regulation
The sprayer boom height is essential to ob-
tain an homogeneous application using ad-
equate doses. The height shall depend on the
cap used and the cultivation under treatment.
The higher it is the more overlapping, but the
application is more exposed to drift.
The cap manual shall be consulted and the
height shall be determined regarding the angle
of spraying and the pitch among the caps.
Sprayer caps
Caps are of outmost importance to gain uni-
formity in the distribution of the product.
Nowaday markets offer conventional fan noz-
zle caps, low drift caps, and extended range caps,
with different work angles, double fan nozzle,
empty and full cone, mirror and air-assisted, etc.
The type and amount of sprayed liquid, the
drop size, and the distribution on the surface
of the field condition the results of the struggle
against pests and underbushes, and benefit the
nutrition of the cultivation by means of liquid fer-
tilizers. That is why choosing an adequate cap is
so important. In the light of all this, manufactur-
ers tables shall be consulted.
Checking the condition of the caps
The condition of the caps must be periodi-
cally checked to ensure they are suitable for
use, for any obstruction may alter the estimated
dose (fig.5).
Fig. 5
Maintenance and conservation
The machine will be better operated and its
duration longer if all maintenance instructions,
regarding frequencies, use of recommended fu-
els, lubricants, and greases are attentively fol-
lowed.
The machine must never be operated if oil,
hydraulic fluids or cooling liquid levels are in-
adequate.
The machine must never be operated if the
temperature or the pressure are inadequate.
Dirt is dangerous for hydraulic systems. For
this reason, it is necessary to use clean contain-
ers, fannels, hoses, cloth, etc. free from other
fluids.
Fuels, lubricants and parts are to be ade-
quately stowed.
When the working day is over, the machine
must be cleaned up as recommended.
Storage in fuel tanks
Fuel purity and cleanness are basic for the ad-
equate functioning of the engine and the dura-
tion of the injection system.
These instructions must be followed carefully:
1. Tanks equipped with two taps in each ex-
treme must be used (fig.6).
2. Plastic tanks are a preference. In case of
metal tanks, stainless iron or adequate inter-
nal coating must be used. As zinc pollutes
the fuel, it must be avoided.

 Working and movement operations
General recommendations
It is important to feel familiar with safety rules
and use them on an everyday basis, avoiding
risks and preventing accidents from happening.
This Manual must be thoroughly read before
operating the machine, becoming familiar with
its features and limits of operation. This manu-
al should be kept at hand to clarify any doubt
whatsoever.
Before starting the operation, the equipment
must be properly prepared for the task to be
completed.
Before starting the machine
Check the following items before starting the
engine:
Oil level of the engine.
Check that all the beams, side lights, and
other electrical components are in working
order.
Check that rearview mirrors allow visibility
of all the angles, and all positions are cove-
red.
Adjust the seat and the steering wheel as ne-
cessary. The relationship between comfort
and security in operating the machine must
not be forgotten.
Upon lifting the ladder, secure the safety
throughout the operation of the machine.
A/C activation
Turn the knob of the fan to an intermediate
position (fig.73).
Place the lever 2 at the position SI (ON)
Turn the temperature regulator to the top
position (clockwise). To achieve the desired
temperature, turn the knob again to achieve
it.
Adjust the fan speed through the knob.
Adjust the direction of flow with grids direc-
tions.
To obtain minimum ventilation, turn the
thermostat knob on the top counter-cloc-
kwise.
Special recommendations for the use of A/C
Operation of the machine at the coldest level
must be avoided. This position should be used
only at the beginning so that the cabin may
have the expected temperature as soon as pos-
sible; and during this period, the fan must not
be in the minimum position for it may cause
the evaporizer to get frozen.
The A/C must not be inoperative for longer
than a week. Even in winter, it must be in op-
eration at least 15 minutes a week. This will
prevent the internal compressor stores from
drying, keeping lubrication.
The cold air flux must not be directed straight
towards the head, for a temperature stroke may
occur.
In case the cabin is very hot after stopping
the equipment under the intense sun, the A/C
must be started, the thermostat set in the maxi-
mum cold position, and the fan set in its maxi-
mum position too, as the cabin door is opened.
The system must work in these conditions from
3 to 5 minutes.
This allows hot air to evacuate quicklier. In
this way, the cabin is refrigerated quicklier and
the system dos not make bigger efforts than
necessary. Once the excessive heat has been
eliminated, controls must be put in their nor-
mal position, as needed.
Warning: the air filter is made of active car-
bon. Ordinary paper filters must not be used.
Agrochemicals manufacturers recommendations
must be followed in case other protective equip-
ment needed to be used.

some drops of detergent.
Fig. 75
Windscreen wiper
The windscreen wiper must be regularly
checked and replaced in case it is dry or dam-
aged.
Safety belt
The operators seat, in all models, is fitted
with a safety seatbelt.
They must be used upon operation without
exception. Both the seat or the seatbelt must be
adjusted before operating the machine.
In case the machine turns over, do not aban-
don the cabin.
38
Fig. 76
Safety belt use and adjustment
To fasten and secure the safety seatbelt, pull
the buckle until the safe is released. When you
hear a click and the release button is up, the
seatbelt will be properly secured. To unfasten
the seatbelt, press the safety (fig.76).
Pull the shorter strap through the adjustment
mechanism until the expected size is obtained.
Starting the machine
While the parking brake is activated, move
the joystick to the neutral position.
Insert the starting key and press the horn 2
or 3 times as a warning for any person who
may be nearby.
Turn the starting key to the starting position
and release as soon as the engine is on.
After moving slowly for 1 or 2 minutes,
accelerate the engine from 1,300 to 1,500
r.p.m. to reach the working temperature.
Warning. Take the following
instructions into account:
If the hydraulic flux is cold, the engine must
be on at a slow pace for 5 minutes, and it must
be accelerated afterwards, preventing the hy-
draulic system to be damaged.
Warning lights and indicators monitor the
performance of several vital items of the machine
(see location details on the appropriate page).
They are of outmost importance for safety rea-
sons because in case the machine is not working
properly, lights will alert the operator, who will
stop operating the machine under those incove-
nient conditions, preventing irreversible dam-
ages from happening.
Engine air filter restriction
When the warning light is on during opera-
tion, it indicates that the filtering device is filled.
(Consult the engine Operators Manual.)
Fuel tank level indicator and warning light
The indicator rate varies from empty (left) to
full. Avoid both reaching the reserve level (indi-
cated by a warning light) and wasting all the fuel
during the operation.
It causes the system to be drained and even-
tually may damage the injection pump when it
functions with air.
The operation must be immediately stopped
and the tank refilled, so as to avoid the lack of
fuel which may cause inconveniences.
Engine oil pressure indicator and warning light
While in operation, the minimum oil pres-
sure must be 60 psi. In case of low pressure, the
warning light will be on. Immediately after, the
engine must be stopped and the cause of the
problem solved.
Engine temperature indicator and warning light
While in operation, temperature must range
between 80C and 105C. In case of overheat-
ing, the warning light will be on. If this happens,
stop the machine with the engine on and move
at a slow pace for some minutes until the instru-
ment reaches the permitted rate.
Then, the engine must be stopped and the
cause of overheating solved. They may be for in-
stance, damage of the engine itself, or obstruc-
tions in the system.
Alternator charge tension indicator and
warning light
The charge tension must range between 12
and 14 V.
Should the charge system fail, the warning
light will be on. Stop the engine and check the
cause to avoid damages in the electrical system
and in the spraying control microprocessors.
For further information consult the en-
gine of the Operators Manual delivered
together with the equipment.
Advance and detention
Select the appropriate regime rotation of
the engine displacement desired.
Select the direction of the machine, carrying
forward or backward the joystick smoothly.
The machine speed is proportional to the
displacement of the lever.
According to what is necessary, to select
high or low in the corresponding knob.
Stopping the machine
Lower the speed and stop the machine.
Put the gear level in dead center (neutral)
and activate the parking brake.
Stopping the engine
Start the operation, leaving the engine run-
ning at idle for a minute.
This is essential to prevent damage to the
turbocharger.
Turn the ignition key, to the position O
and remove it.
Disconnect other items: beams, radio and
other electrical device.
Steering
Hydrostatic steering facilitates control over
the equipment even when the engine is not
working, but the effort required will be stronger.
Upon reaching the end of the way, the steer-
ing wheel must not be kept in that postion. It
must be slightly pulled to avoid overpressing the
system.
Parking brake
Upon leaving the cabin, with the engine on or
off, the parking brake must be activated. A warn-
ing light on the panel indicates that the brake is
activated, so as to avoid moving the machine.

ding to the following parameters:
Low: for spraying works
High: to move the machine on roads
Road circulation
Circulating farm machinery along routes is
dangerous, inappropriate under specific condi-
tions and in several areas (fig.77).
The possibility to circulate with this machine
in certain route areas is determined by the rules
in full force and effect within said area.
Even if circulating is permitted, indicatory
beams and all circulation lights must be in use.
The driver must respect all requeriments re-
lated to his licence and those enforced by the
Rules on Transit.
The wings must be fully folded, the boom and
the wings rests secured.
Brakes must be checked and controlled as ap-
propriate.
All beams, signs, side lights, and turning lights
must be in working order.
Speed must be compatible with the safety of
the pace, without exceeding 35 km/h.
Upon night circulation, be extremely cau-

tious. Even during the day, lights must be on.
Low lights must be used when coming across
another vehicle.
Follow all safety indications as for the circula-
tion of the equipment, exhibited on page 4 of
this Operators Manual.
Moving the machine along roads (fig.78)
The machine must be entrusted to a company
specialized in conveying this type of machinery.
Exclusively use trucks with measures compat-
ible to the size of the machine, which must be
located and secured as appropriate (see picture).
Pay special attention to the height and length
permitted for that type of load.
Spraying wings must be fully folded and se-
cured.
Disconnect the battery stop key to prevent
the engine and the systems of the machine from
moving accidentally.
Fig. 78
Spraying
Read the section called Purposes of the Ma-
chine at the beginning of this Manual carefully
which includes the details to be taken into ac-
count regarding the spraying parameters, and
the protection of the environment, the people,
and the animals.
Products must be applied and the sprayer
regulated pursuant to the recommendations of
manufacturers, specialized agronomists, and the
law in force.
Exclusively apply the dose recommended by
your agronomist and use spraying nozzle suit-
able for each case, at a recommended pressure.
 Respect the intervals between one application
and another and lack periods as recommended.
Adequate operation conditions
Before spraying:
Ensure the amount of product to be used is
enough.
Specify in detail the area on which the spray-
er shall pass.
Humidity: avoid spraying in low relative hu-
midity conditions (less than 55%). It facili-
tates evaporation and ascense of drops.
Environment temperature: an excessive tem-
perature (more than 35C) are as inconve-
nient as having low humidity.
Wind speed: see Drift by wind, at the be-
ginning of this Manual.
Weather conditions: get information about
weather conditions for the following hours
or days. Rain must be avoided at least one
hour before and two hours after spraying
so as not to endanger the effectivity of the
application. For some products, this period
must be longer than two hours.
Note: That rain before the application is a se-
rious inconvenience to be avoided. As it is hu-
mid, the chances to compact the soil dramati-
cally increase.
Getting the equipment ready
It is necessary to consult the products and
spraying nozzle manufacturers tables. Interna-
tional regulations govern and classify the selec-
tion criteria.
The market offers a wide variety of nozzle:
fan uniform nozzle, nonuniform nozzle, empty
cones, full cones, and others (fig.79).

Nozzle features table
The table on the next page shows, accord-
ing to specific information, a guide to select the
most appropriate nozzle (fig.81).
Selecting spraying nozzle
The most appropriate spraying nozzle for
each application will depend on the type of
cultivation and location of the target, and it is
specified by international regulations. Caps are
codified by color according to their flow rate.
There are blue, red, green, yellow caps,
among other colors.
Other features of the nozzle include: type of
fan, its angle, drop size, etc.
To select the most appropriate nozzle, an
agronomist or the manufacturer of the prodcut
must be consulted. Both systems, Arag and Tee-
jet have fivefold nozzle.
In these cases, putting a nozzle is simple and
fast. Once the most appropriate nozzle are cho-
sen, just turn the set so that the chosen ones face
down. Like this, the flux of the rest is blocked.

Product tank interior washing up
Besides cleaning the containers, the clean
water circuit is used for the product tank internal
washing up procedure.
This is of outmost importance to:
Keep the spraying system components in
working condition.
Eliminate any toxic product smell.
Prevent the product from dryning in the
system tank, causing future obstructions.
Should you change the chemical product
used, it is vital to eliminate the previous one
used, so as to avoid mixtures which can
prejudice the expected effect.
The internal tank washing up is carried out
through washing nozzle injecting water at a
high pressure of 360 (fig.99).

Inside the cone mixer, a peak is located by
entering the mouth of the container and pres-
sing the product, wash the interior under high
pressure (fig.100).
Note: pressure washing should be performed
by the user while the broth is prepared imme-
diately after emptying the contents, to prevent
the product from drying and adhering to the
inner walls of the container, making it difficult
to remove.
Triple washing procedure:
1. Dump the contents are completely agro-
chemical in the cone mixer.
2. The pump spray, then accelerate the en-
gine.
3. Place the container inverted over the peak
washer for about 30 seconds, stirring so
that the jet of water to all its inner surface.
4. After washing, shake the bottle and pour
all the water in the same cone mixer.
5. Open the appropriate valve to the wash
water inside the cone mixer is directed to
the product tank. The venturi will draw
the liquid in the cone into the product
tank.
6. After the suction off the faucet.
7. Repeat 3 times.
8. Disable container piercing the bottom.
No damage to the label, it contains in-
formation necessary for recycling back of
the pack before destroying it.
It is important to stress the importance of
preparing the most accurate amount of broth,
avoiding excess proceeds remaining in the tank
after application.
Cleaning up the sprayer
The task of cleaning up agrochemical apply-
ing equipment is to be completed at the end
of the working day or when the equipment is
reloaded with a different product. Besides pre-
serving the environment, it extends the working
Fig. 101
life of the equipment, avoiding problems in sub-
sequent applications, such as the obstruction of
nozzle, filters and measurers, for instance.
For the cleaning up procedure, these instruc-
tions must be followed carefully:
Use the personal protective equipment as
recommended (fig.101).
On an every day basis, after each working
day, fill the tank with clean water, remove the
nozzle, and activate the machine until all the
water is drained in an adequate site, free away
from water sources.
Check that the sprayer is completely empty.
Wash up all filters, nozzle, tanks, and covers,
with adequate sponges and brushes. Also, wash
up the exterior of the machine (fig.102).
Together with the cleaning up water, add de-
tergents or any other product recommended by
manufacturers.
At least repeat the washing up process with
water and detergent twice.
Check that pumps, connections, hoses, regis-
ters, and nozzle are empty, regulating the working
pressure to the expected position, using water.
Upon preparing the fluid only use clean wa-
ter without suspended material, especilly sand.
In pumping applications, a minimum of
1.600 r.p.m. is necessary.

 Electrical system maintenance
security
Avoid injuries or death caused by the
machine as it moves. Do not start the
machine making a connection among the
terminals of the starting engine.
Disconnect the battery terminal before
repairing and electrical equipment in the
vehicle.
NEVER use the electrical compartment to
store items of any sort. Circuitcuts may
occur and cause explosions.
Acid and lead batteries generate flammable
and explosive gases. Keep weldings, sparkles
and flames away from the battery.
Spraying system
Ordinary operation of the machine involves
washing the equipment after each working day.
It is details in the appropriate section of this
Manual.
Aspiration filter
The spraying circuit has an aspiration filter lo-
cated between the lower output of the product
tank and the impulsion pump. Its purpose is to
uphold any impurity resting in the product de-
posit (fig.129).
It must be cleaned on a daily basis. Also,
check that the joints are not deteriorated.

Secundary filter
Located before command spraying, the se-
condary filter is cleaned at a frequency which
depends on the product used.
To clean should be disarmed by turning your
body and use water only (fig.130).
Before to disarmament and cleaning it, drain
through the faucet at the bottom.
Line filters (fig.131)
Line filters, which amount to five, are located
between the set of valves and the sprayer bar
feeding lines. They are in charge of the third
filtering stage, previous to the spraying nozzle.
All the filters mentioned herein must be
cleaned up at the end of each working day.
Check that their nets are not damaged. If this
happens, please replace them (fig.132).

The sprayers cabin has an active carbon filter
to protect the operator. However, and with re-
gard to each product, be well informed about
security procedures to be followed.
Every 500 hours, the active carbon filtering
item must be replaced. Also check the strip-
pings which ensure the sirtightness in the cabin.
When they are excessively dry or damaged they
must be replaced.
Changing the active carbon filtering item
Every 500 hours the active carbon filtering
item must be changed.
To start the changing process, in MAP 4000
H, pull the top of the cabin to have access to the
A/C filter equipment.
By releasing closure, remove the filter tap and
replace the filtering item (fig.135).

Windscreen cleaner level
The windscreen cleaner deposit liquid level
must be checked periodically. It is located under
the bonnet of the engine.
Upon refilling to the level, add some drops of
detergent (fig.136).

Changing tyres
To change any of the equipment tyres, follow
all these safety instructions:
Put the parking brake and block the tyres to
prevent the machine from moving.
Carry out this task on solid ground as leveled
as possible. Use the hydraulic cylinder as
indicated in the instructions.
Use of the hydraulic jack
1. Remove the hidraulic jack from its habitual
position (fig.137).
2. Put the shoe on the base and fix it with the bars.
3. Put the cylinder in the tyre to be changed by
putting the upper cylinder hole in the ones
located in the appropriate slopes (fig.138).
4. Put the hydraulic hoses in the quick connec-
tions located in the chassis on the left side of
the machine (fig.139).
5. Activate the suitable command (fig.140).

 Check greasing nipples (alemites) located in
different parts and components of the machine.
Replace them when necessary.
Before putting grease in the friction plates,
remove the old grease and clean up the site
properly.
