Our sprayers can be mounted on any tractor having a three point hitch of the
category 1 or 2 and an input shaft running at a maximum speed of 540 R.P.M.
(revolution per minute).
The horsepower required to run the sprayer is connected to the type of
pump which is mounted, the capacity of the tank and the type of the spraying
boom.
The sprayers are machines to spraying the chemical for the plants protection
crop, open fi leds, gardening and disinfestation.
All our machines have been designed and manufactured for the use in open
fi les as well as for work between the rows of orchards, vineyards, open fi elds,
etc…
Therefore NEVER RUN THE SPRAYER INDOOR!

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE MACHINE
PUMP
The pump is diaphragm type, it pushes the liquid to the circuit and it is of vital
importance for the machine and need of particular care.
TANK
The tank of the sprayer is made either of fi berglass or of polyethylene. Inside
the tank there is a system studied for agitating the liquid and keeping the
chemical product mixed uniformly. The agitation system can be either me-
chanical of jet. Be sure that the agitation system works always properly as it
essential for the corret use of the chemical and for avoiding possible damages
to the crops or injuries to people.
DRENAGE OF THE TANK
One important operation to learn is how and where to drain the tank. All the
tank are provided with a bottom valve which can be operated in a safe way,
without that the hands of the operator may get in touch with the chemical.
The drained liquid has never go into the gorund, but only in appropriate con-
tainers.

USER MANUAL
BOOM SPRAYERS
The sprayers can be provided of mechanical spraying boom mod. BD, BV,
BI or hydraulic spraying boom mod. BDIP. The boom is providied of painted,
zinc plate or hot galvanised steel frame, stainless steel tube, nozzles with
diapgrahm antidrip device with cone or fan tips and fi lter.
SPRAYGUN
The machine can be provided ofm spraygun which are of diff erent modeles.
Every spraygun is provided of the tips which can be replace in the time for
the maintenance or to vary the delivery output of the liquid.
The delivery can vary with the pressure value of the pump, it must be
changed turning the knob of the relief valve.
The tips are available with various holes which determinate with the pres-
sure the delivery of the spraygun.
Attached herewith please fi nd the rate chart of the diff erent tips available
for sprayguns.
The tips of the sprayguns either in stainless steel or ceramic can wear out
with the use and conseguently need to be changed time to time because the
delivery of the liquid will increase when the hole would have been enlarged
by the long use.
When the delivery of the spraygun increase without a giustifi cate reason and
the spraygun have a spraying not uniform, it means that the tips must be
replaced.
Attached herewith please fi nd the rate chart of the diff erent tips available
for sprayguns (see the pharagraph of calibrating and rate chart).

USER MANUAL
FILTERS
The sprayer is equipped with 3 systems of fi ltering.
1. A large basket fi lter is located under the main cover, the porpoise of
which is to
prevent that any impurity or foreign objects could get into the tank during
the operation of fi lling it with water.
2. A main strainer is located under the tank, connected to the inlet system.
The liquid is fi ltered before getting into the pump, which therefore will
work with no risk of damages. Before the main strainer there is a shut-off
valve which allows to clean the cartridge of the strainer when the tank is
full.
3. More other fi lters are placed one for each nozzle to prevent the clogging
of the tips.
All the fi lters are of easy access and easy to clean.
STRAINER
The sprayers is equipped with two strainers. A large fi lter screen is located
under the tank cover and the main strainer located under the tank.
When cleaning main strainer screen, make sure to remove yellow fi lter
shut-off valve before removing fi lter housing ring nut.

USER MANUAL
NOZZLES
The boom sprayer is provided of nozzles which can be adjusted to spray to
diff erent angulations.
The sprayers which are equipped with double ot triple nozzles are normally
used for interpolate diluted and concentrated works as are mounting one tip
with large hole and one tip with smaller hole.
All the nozzles, either single, double, or triple are provided of plastic, stain-
less steel or ceramic tips, at cone and fan spraying: the holes and the angula-
tions of the tips are available in diff erent sizes.
The tips can wear out with the use and consequently need to be changed
time to time because the delivery of the liquid will increase when the hole
would have been enlarged by the long use.
Each nozzle has a fi lter of stainless steel and an anti-drip device to prevent
leaks at the end of the work.

SAFETY RULES

18
USER MANUAL
When in operation, the sprayer blows chemical products.
Therefore, always make sure that no persons or animals are within the reach
of the machine. When making this evaluation, consider also possible wind.
Minimum distance between persons and working place: 100 Mt. (300 ft).
Never work when persons are in areas at risk.
The machine must be used by one person only who must operate it from the
tractor’s driver seat.
Nobody else is necessary, therefore no other persons must approach the
dangerous area (Min. distance from the machine while in operation: 100 Mt.
( 300 ft.).
Should someone come too close to the machine, then immediately stop any
operation you are carrying out and warn these persons with acoustic and
light signals until they leave the dangerous area, where they could be con-
taminated by chemicals, overrun by the tractor or be injured by machine
mechanisms. Risks Ndue to parts that are in motion and from sudden change
of the wind’s direction could be unavoidable.

19
USER MANUAL
Warning: It is strictly forbidden to stay between the tractor and the machine
when the engine is on. This can cause your death.
The operator must have a good visibility in order to check if somebody is
within the dangerous area (Minimum 100 Mt.: 300 ft.).
Should this happen however, then EVERY MACHINE OPERATlON MUST BE
STOPPED until the dangerous area is free.
The spraying of chemicals need the use of:GLOVES, GOGGLES, DUST
PROOF MASK OR HELMENTS, OVERALL WORKING CLOTHES.
Never wear clothes with free ends (such as belts, scarves, heads-squares,
long skirts, etc.) which could drag you towards the machine parts while they
are in motion.
The operator should keep all shields, of which the machine is equipped, in
steady and sound conditions. After any service or repair, all the shields must
be put in the original place.
When replacing any worn out pieces or during any other operation on the
machine (which must be carried out by skilled technicians) please proceed as
follows:
-make sure the engine is stopped;
-make sure that the lever of regulator valve is in by-pass position;
-in case of the need of servicing the machine from underneath, make sure
that this would rest safely on proper supports, in order to prevent any acci-
dental fall which would seriously injure someone;
-every intervention must be carried out on a clean horizontal fl oor.
-It is forbidden to allow use of the machine by people under eighteen years of
age or who are not competent in use of the machine.
-Chemicals means danger and must be kept in containers suited for the pur-
pose.

USER MANUAL
-Always fi ll the tank in the open air. Nevere smoke when carrying out these
operations.
-Never remove caps of the tanks if the motor is running or still warm.
-If there has been any leakage of chemical, do not start the motor but shift the
machine, with the motor turned off , to an area free from gas and combustible
liquids before carrying out the operation.
-Never run the motor in enclosed areas. The exhaust gases contain carboin
monxide, which is an odourless and deadly poison.
-Never use the motor in thick woods, among bushes or other areas with
uncultivated vegetation.
-When the machine is being used there must be no other people within a radious
of 100 metres from the work area.
-Prevent involuntary switching on of the motor by removing the spark plug be-
fore carrying out maintenance jobs.
-Pull the start cord slowly untill you feel a certain resistance; then pull the cord
rapidly so as to avoid recoil and prevent injury to the hands and arms.
-Use freshly blended fuel. Old petrol may cause rubbery deposits in the fuel and
lead to leakage.
-Check the feeding system an connections frequently to ensure there are no
leaks or cracks; if necessary, replace any damaged parts.
-Never remove protection devices and guards even for a time, in particular the
protective grid on the fan and protective casing on the silencer.
-Always wear suitable protective clòothing, especially during preparation of the
product, treatment, when cleaning the jets and fi lters, emptying the tank and
washing the machine.
