ON-ROAD OPERATING CONDITIONS
The RAPTOR is approved for on-road operation at 40 km/h as an agricultural
tractor.
The speed and on-road operating conditions are thus subject to the same trafc
regulations as agricultural tractors depending on the width of the vehicle. The speed
of 40 km/h is applicable as long as the equipment does not exceed a width of 3.00 m.

The locations of your sprayer's descriptive plates are indicated on page 16.
FOR SPRAYING
•The box "Type" is made up of letters and gures.
•Example: RAP C 3240 AX 24
24 = Boom width 24 meters
AX = AXIALE boom (E2 = EKTAR B2, E3 = EKTAR B3)
3240 = Sprayer series (2540, 4240, 5240)
C= C-TRONIC regulation
RAP = RAPTOR
Year and month of manufacture
FOR THE SELF-PROPELLED UNIT
•The RAPTOR features a precision PRECICULTURE descriptive plate which is located on the chassis, on the
rear right-hand side. It indicates the sprayer type and the serial number.
•The chassis number is cold stamped, and located under the plate.

It is very important to keep the safety stickers in location and in good condition as they draw your attention
to possible dangers and refer to the operator's manual.
Check their location on the sprayer and see their meaning in manual No. 82.471 (Sprayers safety, checks
and maintenance).

2.1. RINSING THE SPRAYER BEFORE FIRST USE
Rinse the sprayer completely with clean water, before using phytosanitary
products (weed killers, insecticide or other product) in your sprayer for the rst
time.
•Remove the nozzles if they are tted.
•Unscrew the end plugs on the pipes.
•Fill 1/5th of the volume of the tank with water.
•Spray (refer to the SPRAYING chapter, page 28).
•Remove and clean the lters.
•Retighten the pipe end plugs.
•Fit the nozzles.
Note: Any foreign particles which may be in the spraying circuit will thus be eliminated and there will be no
risk of them blocking the holes in the nozzles.

4.1. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OMEGA PUMP
•Frame in machined cast iron.
•Drive by oil-cooled speed multiplier.
•Rotation speed of the double turbine: 3,900 rpm.
Note: This speed can be adjusted using the potentiometer located on the cab console (see page 23).
•Double liquid outlet: low and average pressure.
•The pressure of the OMEGA pump varies according to ow rate/min.
