Safety in applying chemicals

• READ the sprayer instructions manual.
For an efficient spraying operation, it is
necessary to know the sprayer employed
in detail. Only thus will we prevent wast­ing chemical or improper use of the
equipment, and the desired result will
be achieved.

• USE the chemical products in agriculture only.

• READ and FOLLOW all instructions on the
chemicals manufacturer’s label.

• HANDLE the chemicals following recom­mendations of a technician.

• Proper SETTING of the sprayer is a simple
operation. Only with the sprayer properly
set will the best results be achieved.

PRECAUTIONS

• USE approved, recommended and suitable
protection equipment (PPEs). During han­dling, setup of the mixture or spraying, use
all pr

otection equipment recommended by

the chemical manufacturer.

• AFTER the spraying operation, take a
shower and change clothing. The used
clothing shall be immediately washed
and segregated from the regular use
clothing to eliminate the chemical resi­due. In case of contact with chemicals,
wash the affected part with running wa­ter for at least 15 minutes. Remember:
most contamination cases occur at the
time of setup of the mixture, where the
chemical is still concentrated, and gets in
contact with the hands.

• DO NOT enter with or keep inside the trac­tor cab the personal protection equipment
(PPEs) used during handling or setup of the
mixture in order not to contaminate the
place. When inside the tractor cab during
operation of the machine and/or spray­ing operation, use only an ear protector. If

Safety in applying chemicals

• KEEP children away from the sprayed ar­eas. Remove children, domestic animals
and unprotected people from the treat­ed areas. Do not allow children or other
persons not necessary for the services to
remain in the chemical handling and ap­plication areas.

• APPLY the recommended dosages: The
dosages recommended by the manufac­turers shall be followed. Any change to
the dosage or calculation error may bring
about serious consequences to the cul­tivation or the environment. Do not use
chemicals in cultivations which the same
have not been recommended for.

• DO NOT spray with strong winds blow­ing over the area: Excess wind can cause
many problems. It will prevent the chemi­cal from reaching its target, causing a poor

tion; it can also carry the sprayed mixture
to

water springs, wild animals and the
entire environment. Do not spray if the
wind velocity is higher than 10 km/h. Do
not spray in the absence of winds. Such
a situation can cause a thermal reversal.
A good application can be obtained with
winds blowing at 3 to 7 km/h velocity,

will r
tend the service life of the equipment.

• The maintenance services shall be carried
out by qualified and skilled professionals.
Even if the equipment has been washed,
it will be necessary to wear the following
PPEs: long-sleeve overalls, waterproof coat
or apron, waterproof gloves, goggles and
boots and special protection masks provid­ed with appropriate filters.

•

Use original parts, for they warrant a perfect

operation of the equipment.

• Maintenance services shall be performed
with the equipment coupled to the tractor,
with the tractor wheels chocked and the
diesel engine and tractor PTO shut down.

• Do not make improvisations nor use inap­propriate tools during maintenance to the
equipment.

• Lubricating oil filters and oils shall be
checked from time to time and changed
whenever necessary or recommended.

• Every maintenance service on hydraulic
tubing or hoses shall be performed after de­pressurization of the circuit. Redouble your
warning during this kind of maintenance.

• The identification of spots exhibiting pos­sible leaks shall be made with paper, nev­er with the hands.

•

With the equipment coupled to the trac-

tor and the PTO, be careful and keep away
from the moving parts of the equipment;
these must be provided with their respec­tive protections. In case of doubt, call the
authorized technical assistance.

• In case that no possibility exists of provid­ing maintenance service to the equipment
with the diesel engine shut down and out­side sheds, keep the shed doors and win­dows wide open to allow continuous circu­lation of air. Internal combustion engines
running within closed environments cause
toxic gases and can asphyxiate the opera­tor within a few minutes.

• Performance of cleaning, lubrication and
maintenance services with the machine
running is forbidden, unless such running
condition is indispensable for the perfor­mance of such operations, in which case
special pr
be taken against occupational accidents.

• Welding services on bars, chassis or other
metal parts of the equipment may only be

PRECAUTIONS

Transportation safety

ATTENTION!

Remove the boom when transporting the sprayer on trailers, trucks or tows.
The boom lock system is designed for operations at low speeds.
Lock the boom when moving the sprayer within the farm.
Only unfold or fold the boom in areas free of obstacles such as electricity supply
cables, trees, etc.

• Before starting transportation, it is very im­portant that the path over which the equi­pment will pass be carefully studies and
that the agencies regulating such method
of transportation be consulted regarding
the precautions and current legislation.

• All highways, roads, local roads, ways and
streets whose utilization characteristics
are influenced by natural factors (clima­te, growth of tree without man’s actions,

.) and construction (material employed,

etc
height of bridges, nearness of electric ne­tworks, roadway width, etc.). Such charac­teristics shall be carefully evaluated prior
to transportation of the equipment.

• If in doubt, do not transport the equip­ment. Hire a company specialized in that
k

ind of service.

• Make sure that the chemical circuit has
been washed and that the chemical reser­voir has been entirely drained after such
washing. Spill of setup leftovers, although
minimal, can endanger the life of people,
animals and cause serious damages to
the environment.

• Make use of the PPEs when tying the equi­pment. If necessary, make a combined

the mandatory PPEs for tying the

use of
equipment and the mandatory PPEs for
application of the chemicals. That combi­nation will reduce the risks of contamina­tion during fastening of the equipment.

• Equipment fastening to the cart or truck
shall be performed by the tying points (see
figure below). Any tying carried out at ran­dom, while appearing to be safe and secu­re, is extremely dangerous and can cause
serious accidents. If

• For your and others’ safety, remove the
sprayer booms before transporting the
sprayer on trailers or trucks.

• For the displacement and transport of
the sprayer, the use of trucks or flatbeds
are recommended as long as measures
for its perfect immobilization are taken
in order to avoid accidents as result of
improper accommodation.

in doubt, contact Jacto.

• Wash the equipment on the outside after
its use. Even if it appears to be clean, the
ropes employed for fastening the equip­ment shall not be used again for binding
foodstuff; they may be contaminated and,
accordingly, contaminate such foodstuff.

Different working conditions lead us to
adopt the following criterion for choosing
the tractor:

• Check the sprayer weight on the identifi­cation plate.

• Check the tank capacity.

Ex.: Sprayer weight (Advance 2000 AM-18) =
4034 lb

Tanks capacity = 581.18 gallons

Table 1: Ground declivity

The tractor gross weight should be at least
equal to the sprayer gross weight.

ASSEMBLY

Sprayer net weight (Advance 2000 AM-18) =

4034.45 lb
Tanks capacity = 581.18 gallons (approxima­tely 4850.16 lb)
Sprayer gross weight = 8884.61 lb
Tractor gross weight = 8884.61 lb or more.

For the sprayers with Vortex system (air as­sisted boom), also follow the table below
that indicate the ideal tractor to work with
these sprayers which are provided with a
fan and, therefore, consume more power
of the tractor’s engine in relation to the
ground declivity and the working speed
that will be developed.

ATTENTION!

This table is just indicative. The value related to the tractor’s power can range in other
situations according to the tractor’s weight, tire type, ground type among others.
In the above example, the recommended tractor should have minimal gross weight
of 9523.96 lb.
The above values are used as an orientation. The correct values must be obtained
using real data of your equipment.

Mounting the nozzles into the nozzle holders

Bijet

The bijet nozzle holder leaves the factory al­ready mounted onto the spraying extensions.
Nevertheless, it will be necessary for you to
install the nozzles that you chose when pur­chasing the equipment. To install the nozzles
into the nozzle holders, proceed as follows:

• The conical nozzles can only be mounted
onto the threaded sleeves. Nevertheless,
the threaded sleeves may also accept the
fan type nozzles. Under this condition the
fan type nozzles must be aligned through
the use of the nozzle alignment spanner
which is found in the equipment acces­sory box. To do this proceed in the follow­ing manner:

ADVANCE 2000

A

1. Install the fan type nozzle unit into

the nozzle holder and tighten it by
hand onto the threaded sleeve.

2. Place the nozzle alignment spanner

onto the fan type nozzle and align it
to the extension.

3. With the spanner aligned, tighten

the nozzle threaded sleeve.

4. The fast connect sleeves were exclu-

sively developed to be used with the
fan type nozzles. Their design pre­vents the nozzles from being moun­ted in an incorrect manner.

ATTENTION!

To work with flat spray nozzles
(fan) it is necessary that they are
positioned at an angle of 4 to 6
in relation to the boom.
Remain alert as to the correct us­age of the filters (mesh) for the
nozzles. Read up on the manu­facturer technical literature.

Before starting to open or close the track on
the ADVANCE 2000, drain the reservoirs so that
the equipment becomes lighter, facilitating
the operation; it is also recommended that the
equipment be completely washed down, as
well as the reservoirs, so that it diminishes the
risks of contamination of the mechanic who
will perform this operation.

The track must be chosen as a result of the
terrain topography. With the equipment cle­an and the reservoir drained, place it on a
flat location and follow with the procedures
given below:

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

1. Switch off the tractor’s engine and keep
the equipment hitched to the tractor. Pla­ce the hydraulic jack on the spot as ma­rked by the sticker (D) on the chassis.

ATTENTION!

Before starting any work, make
a careful analysis of the terrain’s
topographic conditions and if nec­essary increase the track to prevent
any damage to the equipment.
This procedure must be carried
out by an experienced person
with the machine empty and
very well scotched on a leveled
ground. Do not allow people or
animals near the machine during
this procedure.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

In farms with rugged topography, the semi-

-axis position can be changed, thus providing
greater equipment safety.

Going over terraces and other obstacles at
high speed must be avoided. We recommend
slowing the speed while going over them. It is
important to also remember that the machi­ne speed when the tank is full must be slow
to avoid damaging the equipment.

We provide a table recommending the ideal
track width according to the terrain slope.

1. Through the filler unit

• Put 50 liters of water in the spray tank.

• Open the cover of the main reservoir;

• Disconnect the intake hose from the
chemicals mixer valve (2).

• Connect the filler unit (3) hose to the
bypass valve (1) hose.

• Put the filler unit (3) in the water source
and the end of its discharge hose (4) at
the tank opening.

• Run the sprayer at 540 rpm at the PTO.

• Set the bypass valve (1) lever in the po­sition of chemicals mixing.

After filling, set the by pass valve (1)

With the purpose of maintaining the sprayer
and discarding chemical containers with sa­fety, the Advance 2000 has a 200 liters clean
water tank (A) that allows to clean the sprayer
chemical circuit and the chemical containers.
The chemical container rising occurs through
a rinse nozzle mounted inside the chemicals
mixer.

• To use the water from this tank, set the bypass
valve (D) turned to the clean water tank.

• Engage the tractor’s PTO and keep the
chemicals control setting to turn on the
flow to the nozzles.

• Attention to this operation because the
tank will be drained in approximately 2
minutes and the lack of water in the pump
can cause damage to its components.

• Then set the bypass valve back, leaving it
turned to the main tank (C), since this is
the position used to spray.

ATTENTION!

The water from this tank is not
fit for drinking, or even washing
hands, faces, tools, etc. It must
be used only to clean the chemi­cal circuit and to fill the chemi­cal containers for the final rinse.

During this procedure, pay attention to the
amount of water that will be transported to
the main tank. Pay attention to the amount
of chemical product that will be placed in the
tank as the volume may increase significan­tly. Be careful with possible spills during this
procedure (WEAR PPE).

• Set the lever (1) in a position so as to
allow free water flow from the auxiliary
tank to the spray pump.

• Set the bypass valve (2) lever in the posi­tion “chemicals mixer”.

• Hold the chemical container over the
rinse nozzle and operate the chemicals
mixer (3) red lever for a few seconds (de­tail A). Then, operate the black lever to
wash inside the chemicals mixer

.

ATTENTION!

Operate the chemical mixer red
lever only after positioning the
chemical container over the
rinse nozzle.
This will keep you from being
wetted with water available for
washing inside the chemical mix­er or even the chemical mixture
or water from the spray tank.

• Set the bypass valve (2) lever in the working
position (pointed to the spray control).

• Set the lever (1) in a position so as to
make the pump draw the mixture from
the spray tank.

• Watch out for sprinkling while rinsing

ADVANCE 2000Instructions for triple washing

he containers that have been washed under
pressure with the solution and thereafter
with clean water for 30 seconds (container
of 10 liters) or for 60 seconds (with container
of 20 liters), it will not be necessary to triple
wash them. In case the clean water reservoir
has finished and after washing the contain­er with the solution, it is then necessary to
TRIPLE WASH THE CONTAINER. To do this pro­ceed in the following manner:

• Wear individual protection equipment –
IPE (gloves, apron, overalls, safety glasses,
hat, boots, masks).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

• Fill the container with approximately 1/4
of clean water, replace the cap on the
container and tighten it sufficiently to
prevent any leakage whilst being shaken.

• Shake the container vigorously in all di­rections for approximately 30 seconds, to
remove any product residues from the in­ternal walls of the container.

• Remove the container’s cap and carefully
pour out the water into the container washer.

• Repeat this operation twice more.

• Make the container unusable by punc­turing the bottom of it with the aid of a
sharp instrument. Avoid damaging the
labels of the containers so that they can
be identified even after they have been
made unusable.

NOTE:

The unusable containers may be
temporarily stored at an appropria­te and suitable location until they

e sent to their final destination.

ar
Flexible containers must be stored
and returned in specific containers
(e.g. bags) for this purpose.

Instructions for triple washing

1. In the case of medium or large sized con­tainers (50, 100 and 200 liters), after ha­ving been washed with 1/4 of the volume,

eplace the cap on the container and roll

r
it on the ground for approximately 30 se­conds.

2.

Complete the agitation by alternate-

ly raising the ends of the container and
supporting one end on the ground. This
operation must last for approximately 30
seconds.

3. Drain out the washing up water in the same
manner in which you used to drain the pro­duct and pour it into the sprayer tank.

ADVANCE 2000 Spray application technology

4

A successful spray application does not depend
only on a good sprayer or correct use of the
chemicals but also on factors to be determined
in the field under specialized orientation.

Among these factors, some concepts should
be part of a criterion of evaluation so that
positive results may be attained within the
pest control program.

Ideal time

The ideal time for spraying should be chosen
according to the chemical product character­istics, as well as to the field conditions:

• Infestation level of pests, diseases and
weeds;

• Ideal time;

• Application rate;

• Safety;

• Good coverage.

• Infection level of diseases;

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

• Growing stage of weeds;

• Weather conditions.

Safety

When spraying your crops, you must make
sure there will be no risk to people, animals
and environment. Avoid spraying at hotter
times, with humidity below 55% or under
windy conditions.

Correct application rate

Any type of application requires that the rate
be maintained during the whole spraying
work. This will be possible when you have a
good sprayer properly calibrated.

Good coverage

Do not allow the operator to handle chemi­cals and spraying machinery without the
proper individual protective clothing.

This calibration can be obtained through
practical methods or formulas. Please refer
to the section OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

- CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER.

You have a good coverage when the whole
target is sprayed with uniform distribution,
with no risk to the environment and with
good results in the pest control.

The application rate does not have influ­ence on the treatment results. Therefore
good coverages can be attained even with
different rates, which may vary according
to operational and regional factors.

General recommendations

5

• After the first thirty hours of usage the
bolts, nuts and clamps, specially the nuts
on the wheels and axle fastening bolts
must be checked for tightness. If necessa­ry, tighten them.

• Daily, after finishing the spraying, put cle­an water in the tank and run the machine
until all the water is drained. The disposal
of the residues must be spread over the
crops or around the edges of the crops;

• Clean the main filter and the line filters;

• Wash the machine internally and externally.

ATTENTION!

Never wash the sprayer or the individual protection equipment in rivers, lakes, strea­ms, dams, etc. Non-compliance with these procedures may cause serious damage and
contaminate the environment.

These procedures will prevent problems dur­ing future applications, such as: blockage of
the nozzles, filters, etc, as well as protecting
its working life and equipment durability.

• Remove the individual protection equip­ment and wash it;

• Wash the working clothes separate from
the others;

• Take a bath using plenty of water and
soap and change your clothes.

To adjust proceed as follows:

• Loosen the nut (1).

• Loosen both bolts (2).

MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION!

Do not loosen these bolts all the
way, but enough to turn the ad­justing rod.

• Turn the adjusting rod (3) clockwise or

counterclockwise, depending on the need
of adjustment.

NOTE:

This adjustment should be made
with the sprayer running, and
the cylinder that showed prob­lem should be constantly actu­ated during the adjustment
so as not to tighten or loosen ex­cessively the adjusting rod.

• Once the adjustment is made, retighten
the nut (1) and the bolts (2).

Problems, causes and corrections

Whenever Jacto sprayers equipped with pis­ton pumps present problems, try to classifiy
them in one of the following four groups.

a. Lack of suction and pumping capacity

• No liquid flow through the nozzles.

• No return to the tank.

• Pressure gauge does not indicate

pressure.

b. Pressure deficiency (partial lack of pressure)

• Desired pressure is not attained. (A);

• Specified nozzle spraying angle is not

• Pressure gauge shows lower pressure (C).

• The pressure gauge needle oscillates (D);

• The nozzle spraying angle oscillates (E).

• The pressure gauge needle vibrates

with intensity (F);

• The pressure hoses vibrate with in-

tensity;

• The nozzles spraying angle varies (G).

Problems, causes and corrections

Table 9: Lack of suction and pressure (total lack of pressure)

Probable causes Indications and corrections

1. No rotation of the agricultural
chemical pump.

MAINTENANCE

2. No water in the tank.

3. The 3 way valve on the lter is closed.

4. Dirt lter

5. Obstruction at the hose inlet.

The pump must be driven at 540 rpm. Visually
check to see if the pump is being driven.

For the agricultural chemical circuit to operate it is
necessary that there be at least a little liquid, other­wise there will be no pressure.

Due to the design of the 3 way valve, even when it is
in the closed position there will still be liquid ow­ing when the pump operates, therefore there will be

insufcient ow.
The dirt lter will prevent the free ow of the liquid.

Clean the lter at every ll up or more frequently,

depending on the quality of the water and the type
of chemical product.

Check if see if the hose that connects the lter to the

pump is not folded.
Check if there are no obstructions in the hoses from

the tank to the lter. Fill the tank, open the tap and
check if water ow abundantly.

6. Entry of air.

7. Pump is not sucking.

Check the lter’s sealing ring.
The sealing of the lter must be tight, without leakages.

Remove the cover off the suction valves.
Check the condition of the valves and replace them
if necessary.

1. Insufcient rotation in driving the ag­ricultural chemical pump.

2. The 3 way valve on the lter is closed.

3 Filter is partially obstructed.

4. Inlet hose is partially obstructed.

5. Entry of air.

6. Pressure regulator. Check the valve and valve seat.

7. Excessive ow (ow from the nozzles

is above the recommended limit).

8. Pump has low replenishment rate.

The rotation to drive the pump must be that of 540 rpm.

Due to the design of the 3 way valve, even when it is
in the closed position there will still be liquid ow­ing when the pump operates, therefore there will be

insufcient ow.
The lter must be clean so as to allow for the free

ow of the liquid.

If the pump is not correctly supplied it will cause a
drop in pressure.

Check to see if the hose that connects the lter to the

pump is not folded.
Check if there are no obstructions in the hoses from

the tank to the lter. Fill the tank, open the tap and
check if the water ows abundantly.

Check the connections and sealing rings at the out-

ow of the tank and the inow to the pump.

Check to see if the ow from the nozzles is within the
recommended limits (check the ow table)
Replace nozzles with a ow that is over 10%.

Only use nozzles recommended by the sprayer man­ufacturer.

Disconnect the pressure hose from the control.
Run the machine at 540 rpm at the pump.
Collect water for 1 minute. Measure the collected vol­ume. The volume must be close to the rated volume
for the pump.
