An efficient filter lets the sprayer work properly You should periodically check that the filter cartridge is clean this check should be done more often if there are impurities in the liquid To inspect the filter cartridge wear rubber acid proof gloves as the liquid in the filter can come into contact with your hands when you open the filter Don t perform this operation with the pump running as the depression produced blocks the cover preventing the removal Before removing the cover of the filter make sure that the same is isolated from the tubing by unscrewing the relevant rear valve FIG N 8 or on the 3 way deviator FIG N 10 page 14 After washing the cartridge reassemble the cover making sure you connect the same to the circuit again using the valves described above in the opposite order WARNING Don t disperse the washing residues in the environment 4 8 PRESSURE REGULATOR To use the pressure regulator follow the instructions in the enclosed handbook scrupulously The pressure regulator controls all of the most important spraying functions the thorough knowledge of its functions makes work easier and more precise The working pressure and the maximum pressure of the sprayer are determined by the pressure regulator which also protects the circuit from overpressure in any work conditions In serious but very rare cases if the connecting pipes get blocked the pressure relief valve lets the pressure off In some set

HAZARDS Don t use naked flames or heat sources near the machines The mistblowers are made with many materials that derive from petroleum tanks tubes pipes and hoses wheels and plastic parts furthermore the presence of oils of various nature and residues of chemical products make them potentially flammable 25 WEATHER CONDITIONS We recommend spraying in the early hours of the morning or late in the afternoon avoiding the hottest time of day Never do any spraying if it s raining or rain is forecast Don t spray in strong wind or in any case in winds above 3 5 m second If you have to spray in windy conditions use relatively low pressures to obtain quite large drops that are less sensitive to drifting being heavier the wind has less effect There are also special anti drift nozzles available from UNIGREEN S p A for information please contact our offices 2 6 MACHINES DESIGNED TO BE USED ONLY WITH CLEAN WATER There are versions of the machines designed only to be used with a hose reel for washing with cold clean water These machines cannot be used with chemical products as they don t have some of the devices or accessories that are needed to use these products safely These machines are identified by the word washing on the CE plate 2 DRIVING ON THE ROAD The towed mistblowers are not specifically designed for road use Nevertheless many models are also available in the version homologated for road traffic with the tank
