Distribution Of Chemical Products - Gaspardo HL series Gebrauch Und Wartung

3.4 DISTRIBUTION OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

Fertilizers are distributed by means of special dosers (1, Fig. 15)
fi tted under the corresponding hoppers.
These dosers can be adjusted by turning the knob (2, Fig. 15).
Depending on how the dosers are regulated - please refer to the
tables below - you can determine the quantity of fertilizer needed
to cover a hectare of land.
The plastic distributors do not require lubrication. On completion
of the work, the hopper should be carefully cleaned. Unscrew the
discharge pipe caps (Fig. 16), remove any residual product (Fig.
17) and wash thoroughly with water.
Adhere to the ecological standards applicable for the disposal
of polluting liquids.
The MINIMAX batcher, adjusted to the fi rst positions (B0÷C0) may
become clogged because of the small opening, especially if ferti-
lizers with irregular grain size are used. If the quantity of fertilizer
to be delivered comes within the fi rst positions (darkened lines on
the table) get in touch with the manufacturer.
HOPPER AND TANK FILLING
Hoppers and tanks can be fi lled by hand or using a lifter with a
capacity of at least 200 kg, which must be regularly approved by
the relative authorities. Remember that weights of more than 25
kg must either be lifted by more than one operator or the above-
mentioned lifter must be used following the instructions included
in the relative use and maintenance manual.
- All fertilizer spreader tank loading and unloading operations
must be carried out with the hoeing machine at a standstill,
on the ground, with the frame open, with the hand brake on,
with the motor switched off and the starter key removed from
the control panel. Make sure that chemicals are kept out of
harm's way.
- All operations must be carried out by trained staff wearing
suitable protection (overalls, gloves, boots, masks etc) in a
clean, dust-free environment.
- Do not place any bags of fertilizer or any other object on the
fertilizer distributor container covers to avoid breaking them
or endangering property or persons.
- Load from the outer sides of the machine.
- When fi lling the fertilizer and insecticide hoppers, ensure
that no foreign bodies (string, paper, etc.) enter them.
- The hoeing machine can transport chemical substances.
Do not allow children, people, pets to come near the hoeing
machine.
