4.2 FILLING THE TANK
The tank is filled through the opening at the topside. Attention: Leave the basket strainer in
its lace to prevent contamination.
ALWAYS use the cleanest possible water that has a temperature lower than 50ºC / 122ºF!
If you want to spray water and chemicals, you should fill the tank with approx. 30 litres of
water before pouring the chemicals. After the chemicals-water ratio is correct, this solution
should be mixed. This is done by circulating the solution for at least 15 minutes.
! IMPORTANT ! You should comply with the regulations/legislation for using
chemicals that apply to your country.
Closing the 2 taps, setting the handle behind the red knob (A in Figure 1) to ‘bypass’, and
then turning the pump on will circulated the liquid.
! IMPORTANT !To avoid damage to the pump, turn it on only when there is
liquid in the tank!

4.4 TRANSPORTING THE VERTI-SPRAY
The user is responsible for transporting the Verti-Spray in back of the vehicle over public
roads. Verify the national legislation regarding the regulations.
You are allowed to drive maximum 12 km/h (7.5 mph) on open fields if the conditions permit
this (taking into account the amount of liquid in the tank, the smoothness of the field, etc.).
A higher speed can be dangerous for the driver and/or the public and can even damage the
machine.
Driving speed is limited to 12 km/h (7.5mph).
It is NOT recommended to drive faster because that will damage or cause excessive wear &
tear to the machine and damage the subsoil.

4.5 AFTER USING THE VERTI-SPRAY
If you have sprayed chemicals, the Verti-Spray should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water.
If the Verti-Spray is stored at temperatures lower than 0ºC, the tank of the Verti-Spray should
be drained completely. Opening the cap of the tank (A in Figure 2) and disconnecting the two
hoses from the pump (A and B in Figure 3) will drain the tank.
