spraying operation, to remind users of the key points for the safe and
efficient use of the MICROMAX atomiser.
1SAFETY: Always refer to the product label for specific
recommendations for each product, and to Section 4 ‘Safety and
En ironmental Considerations’ before commencing any spraying
operation.
2 Check that all atomisers rotate freely. If binding or roughness is felt,
inspect the motor, belt dri e and disc bearings.
3 Check that the pulleys and belts are clean and free from damage
and that the appropriate gear is selected, see Section 7 ’Calibration
and Adjustment’.

blockage by dried chemical.
5 Ensure that the atomisers are securely and correctly positioned on
the boom or support structure, and are set to the correct distance
from the crop/target to be sprayed, see Section 5 ‘Installation’.
6 Inspect the entire sprayer for damaged or twisted hoses, leaks in the
chemical system, or damaged wires.
7 Check that the correct nozzles and flow restrictor orifices are fitted,
and that the correct system pressure is set to pro ide the required
liquid feed rate, see Section 7 ‘Calibration and Adjustment’.
8 Turn the atomiser motors on, to ensure they are rotating and at the
correct speed, see Section 7 ‘ Calibration and Adjustment’.
9 Whilst spraying, isually ensure that each atomiser is working, and
erify the accuracy of the calibration of the sprayer by checking the
