3 TRANSIT ON HIGHWAY (only for homologated machines )
case you need to follow a highway ,it's necessary to abide yourself strictly
to the rules of the road taking particular care with any requirement noted in
the booklet of the machine and the choice of appropriate speed. The firs
step during the circulation is to install any optional light bars, self-
reflecting signs etc ....
It is mandatory to provide the machine of flashing yellow light..
The weight of the modified machine changes the stability of the whole tractor-atomizer,
influencing the ability of steering and braking, for this reason it is necessary to proceed at
moderate speed.
4 MACHINE OPERATION
Make sure that during the work, all parts of the machine work regularly.
Point out that most of the accidents and damages that may occur during
use of the machine are caused by the loosening of the fastening
elements.
As in the first phase of the life of the machine is produced an overall settlement of all
mechanical and hydraulic connections ,it is essential to carry out the controls of the
machine with maximum accuracy.
Before using the machine make sure that within the range of the machine there are no
people or animals.
Make sure that no person or animal are in near of ventilators when this is running.
The machine must be used by a single operator inside the cab of the tractor.
It is absolutely forbidden to remove and/or change the protections on the machine..

20
Do not use the machine when tired, ill or under the influence of medication, drugs or
alcohol..
Before using the machine it is necessary to learn the layout of controls and operation..
Pay attention to the risk of unintentional contact of parts of the machine with the high
voltage airlines.
4.1 PLUMBING
4.1.1 MAIN TANK
The main tank has various capacities. To fill the water tank use only indirectly open
waters or just free-fall from water conductor.
You can fill the tank through the pump using the pick-up filter (p. 4.1.4)
The tank is equipped with a graduated band that brings transparency to the exact
quantity o f liquid inside. The detection has to be made in flat area .
All filling systems provided by BARGAM S.P.A. are preventing pollution and
regurgitation of liquid inside the tank
4.1.2 WASHING- SYSTEM CIRCUIT TANK
All mounted and trailed sprayers are equipped as per CE directive n °2004/108 of
circuit-washing tank to cleaning the whole machine (suction pump delivery, nozzles).
The tank must be filled only by clean water.
To use the circuit-washing tank for cleaning it is enough to turn the 3-way gate valve on
CIRCUIT-WASHING TANK position and operate the pump for 10 min.
When done, it's necessary to eliminate waste in defined places where they cannot
cause harm to people or to the environment.
Use different active ingredients on various crops to avoid damage .We recommend to
add to each washing liquid 2 kg of soda for every 100 liters of water.
4.1.3 HAND-WASHING TANK
For the cleaning of the operator, when using the machine or when it is necessary, is
installed a tank of variable capacity according to the main tank. The clean water tank
for hand washing has to be filled only by clean water.
Do not drink for any reason the liquid inside!

21
4.1.4 SUCTION GATE AND 3 WAYS VALVE
The inlet filter allow to fill
the tank from external
sources (wells, streams,
etc..).Filters assembled on
equipment have 50 mesh
cartridges of 0.3 –0.4 mm
(pos. 3).
The filter must be frequently
checked while with a good
cleaning of these you get a
smooth operation of the
machine.(§:7.7)
If the liquid used in the treatment has
many impurities, it is good practice to
clean them each
tank’s filling. Always remember do not
clean the filter with the pump on and to
wear appropriate safety clothing. Before removing the filter cap (POS.
7) make sure that the same is isolated from the pipe by turning the
appropriate gate valve or the 3 -way diverter. After washing the cartridge
replace the cover reconnecting it to the circuit.
To use the suction filter:
remove the throttle valve on the bottom of the suction strainer (POS. 8)
tighten the rubber door fitting the bottom filter thread (POS. 7)
connect the rubber pipe from 6 yards with floating filter on
place the pressure regulator on exhaust position
action the pump
check the water level in the tank
switch off the pump and disconnect the tube from the suction filter
“3 WAY GATE VALVE
The 3-way gate valve permits to direct, inside the loop, the liquid in various directions
- During spraying in the field the level
should be placed in position 1.
- During the filling phase from wells or from
the external tanks, it can take any position.
- During the tank and circuit washing (at
the end of each treatment, chemical liquid
change or when it has required for the
periodic maintenance ), the lever must be
placed in position 3.

22
4.1. 5 PUMP
A pump is installed on the machine
according to the models .The pump manual
is enclosed to t his manual . We recommend
to read both carefully . Be very careful with
the data reported by the manufacturer.
The pump can be identified from the data
plate applied on it; the main data of
pressure and f low are easy to find. Normally
the pump must not exceed 550 rpm; a
number of major tours does not improve
performance but compromise the life and
safety of the equipment. On the pump there
is a safety valve calibrated to prevent the
over pressure . Do not tamper with this
valve for any reason and do not block the hose connected to it.
4.1.6 HIGH PRESSURE FILTER ( ONLY TRAILED MODELS)
The high pressure filter consists of a PVC body
(Det. 1.4) with two inputs and two outputs (item
8) (38 ".1/2").It also has a drain valve (POS. 6).
Inside there is a filter cartridge (POS. 3) which
has the task of collect any impurities presented
inside the circuit.
The high pressure filter should be cleaned following
the procedures outlined in chapter: routine
maintenance. (See § 7.7)
4.1.7 AGITATORS
Agitators are Venturi tubes supplied by the
pump through a manual valve that must be
always opened to allow the
wave of product before, during and after
treatment. The agitators valve shall be closed
only during system washing with clean wa t er f rom
holding tank maintenance

23
4.1.8 CONTROL UNIT
The control unit consists of a pressure
regulator (R), and a distributor (D).
At the pressure regulator is installed a
manometer (M) which allows to view the
pressure within the circuit. Using the
regulator it is possible to adjust (depending
on the number, the type of nozzles,
processing speed and other parameters), on
pressure operation of the machine .
In case of anomalies in the circuit, which
can generate strong pressure safety, it
intervenes a safety valve calibrated
according to models.
Pressure regulators may be manual
(mounted on the atomizer fig 1, or
tractors (model BYMATIC fig 2) or
electric (with control panel placed in the
cabin), in the latter case it is provided a
distance gauge fitted with a separator
because for security reasons it's not
possible to bring liquids in pressure in
the signal box. If the tractor is equipped
with a sealed cabin it is compulsory to
use electric controls.
Also for this device is attached related
manual.
4.1.9 DISTRIBUTORS
The Distributor (D) consists of gate valves or
cocks which convey the fluid in various directions.
