Using Handwash Tank
In the event when an accident occurs and chemical is
spilled on your skin or in your eyes, use the Handwash
Tank to flush away the chemical.
1. Open the tank valve and use the hose to direct the
clean water on all contaminated areas. Wash all ar-
eas of skin that has been contaminated with soap
and water. To flush your eyes, point the hose and
water stream upward while you lower your eye into
the stream of flowing water.
2. Close the tank valve and refill the handwash tank
with fresh water when you are finished.
3. Periodically refill the handwash tank with fresh wa-
ter. ALWAYS keep the handwash tank clean.
Operating Whirlfilter ®
There are two Whirlfilters ® on your Great Plains Sprayer.
One filters the water entering the tank and the other fil-
ters the chemical solution being sprayed.
To clean-out the solution Whirlfilter ® , proceed with
the following:
1.
Fill the sprayer tank with water and turn the pump
on.
2. With the pump running, slowly open the clean-out
valve and allow the grit to flow out into a bucket.
Clean out the solution Whirlfilter
® only when the
sprayer tank is filled with water and no chemical has
been added.
3. Close the clean-out valve and turn off the pump.
4. Dispose of the grit and water in the same manner
described on the manufacturer’s label of the latest
chemical used in the sprayer.
To clean out the tank-fill Whirlfilter ® , proceed with
the following:
1.
Start with an empty sprayer tank.
2. Position a bucket under the plug in the sump of the
Whirlfilter
® and allow the grit to fall out.
3. Screw the plug back in using pipe thread sealant to
seal the plug.
4. Dispose of the grit and water in the same manner
described on the manufacturer’s label of the latest
chemical used in the sprayer.
Transporting
1. Park your sprayer in an open area where you will not
hit power lines, buildings, etc. when the boom is fold-
ed.
2. Secure the level-float pin in the lock position, if using
a level float boom.
3. NEVER allow riders when transporting the sprayer.
4. When transporting your sprayer, be sure to watch
the height clearances of your folded boom to prevent
damage to the boom and possible injury.
