USER MANUAL
6 03/2017
Dear customer,
We would like to thank you for your trust, which you have shown by buying the sprayers appliance for
chemical plant protection of the company AGROMEHANIKA. The reliability and efficiency of the
appliance depends on how you will take care of the appliance. We advise you to read and consider this
instruction manual carefully before connecting the appliance to the tractor. This manual contains
essential information for efficient use and a long durability of the appliance.
1 IN GENERAL
The sprayers AGP 1000EN(U), AGP 1500EN(U), AGP 2000 EN(U) and AGP 1000 PE are machines
of modern concept and design, equipped in accordance with the latest technical and safety
requirements for this type of machines. They are designed and constructed for applying chemical
agents dissolved in water solution which are normally used for chemical protection of agriculture crops
in fruit-growing and viticulture.
Chassis is of robust construction which together with a low barycentre enables working on a more
challenging terrain as well.
Flexible coupling enables sprayer wheels to follow tractor wheels, but also an easy turning and a small
turning circle.
Sprayer consists of:
Supporting chassis
Main tank with pouring strainer
Additional tanks for flushing and washing hands
Pump
Pressure and flow regulator
Suction filter
Pressure filter
Three-way valve
Mixing nozzle
Fan, and
Membrane nozzle brackets with ceramic nozzle inserts.
Tanks falling within the scope of the machine are made from chemical heavy-duty PE-HD (high-
density polyethylene), which provides them with a constant shape stability. The walls in their
interiors are very smooth, which makes the cleaning after spraying more convenient.
Its construction design enables an easy accessibility to vital elements of the sprayer and an easy
handling with the sprayer. A robust construction, quality constituent elements and plenty of additional
equipment enable the user a reliable operation as well as an optimal use of spray agents and supplied
energy.
Air capacity is variable due to the variable fan, which enables protection of both new and older
plantations. Adjustable fan, quality nozzle inserts, and plenty of optional equipment enable an optimal
consumption of energy and of protective agents.
The blower with adjustable fan is incorporated in the rear part of the sprayer. Adjustable fan enables
adjustment of speed and air amount to the type of plantation and lushness of vegetation. Fan drive is
performed by a single-stage multiplier with a possibility of shut-down (neutral gear).
A standard blower version is of steel construction and does not comprise an air rectifier that belongs to
optional equipment. The rectifier evenly distributes the air to the left, to the right, and to the whole
height of the habitus.
The following sections will describe in more detail main sprayer constituents and handling with them.
The manual for use covers more sprayer models; therefore consider only chapters that apply to
your type of the machine.
Do not use your sprayer for pumping or sprinkling of:
water solutions with a higher specific weight and viscosity than water;
chemical solutions which should not come in contact with some of the parts of the sprayer;
drinking water;
sea water and other salty solutions;

USER MANUAL
7 03/2017
water which temperature is higher than 40 °C or lower than 5 °C;
all kinds of lacquer or varnish;
fast dissolving diluents;
oil or grease;
liquids that contain granulates or hard swimming parts.
2GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS
This sign indicates a warning or important instruction. As it concerns the safety of the
user, follow the instructions and recommendations bearing this sign!
Read the “User Manual” carefully before operating the machine. It is important that all
the personnel using the machine are familiar with this “User Manual”!
The national legislation may require registration (certification) of personnel operating the
machine and persons who are allowed to operate machines for chemical protection
therefore you must ensure your compliance with the law!
Before using chemical agents, perform a pressure test on the machine by using clean
water!
When operating the machine which is not fitted with a fully enclosed cab, always use
protective clothing, gloves and mask!
Clean and wash the machine after each use and before any maintenance or testing
procedures!
Never perform maintenance and repairs when the machine is in operation!
After maintenance, immediately reinstall all safety devices on the machine!
Before welding or repairing the machine, disconnect all connections to the machine.
Before that, remove all flammable and explosive substances from the area surrounding
the machine.
Never eat, drink or smoke during spraying, i.e. handling harmful substances and
contaminated equipment!
After spraying, always change the work clothes and wash your hands thoroughly!
After each use, clean and wash all the tools used during spraying.
In the event of poisoning, immediately seek medical attention and show the packaging of
protective agents used!
When the machine is in operation, do not allow children or animals come near the
machine!
It is prohibited to pour or release the spray residue in the environment.
Avoid spraying during strong wind!
If any part of the instructions is unclear, please contact a representative or the
manufacturer of the machine, who will provide you with further instructions and
explanations regarding the proper use of the machine.
