Assembly

Triple wash containers

Handle

Buckle

TIGHTENING

Hold the strap buckle firmly with one hand, and pull the handle downward with the other hand.

LOOSENING

Hold the buckle firmly with one hand, and pull the strap upward with the other hand.

5∙ Continue holding the container over

the spray tank opening for approximately 30 seconds or until it stops dripping.

6∙ REPEAT this operation twice more.

This way you complete the TRIPLE WASH.

7∙ Make the plastic and metallic

containers useless by piercing the containers bottom with a pointed instrument. By doing this the labels are not damaged for identification purposes.

8∙ The useless containers can be

stored temporarily in an appropriate place, until final destination.

9∙ With mid and large size container

(15, 25 and 50 gallons), add appropriate volume (1/4 of the total) of water and install the cap, roll it on the ground for approximately 30 seconds.

10∙ Next in the upright position complete the agitation by moving back and forth for approximately 30 seconds.

11∙ Then, empty the container by

pouring the rinse water into the spray tank.

12∙ REPEAT this operation twice more.

At the last time, completely empty the containers rinse.

13∙ The least amount of rinse water

that remains in the container, from one wash to the next, the better descontamination will be.

14∙ When performing the TRIPLE

WASH, do not use a water volume either much lower or much higher than 1/4 of the container capacity.

15∙ The TRIPLE WASH must be done

IMMEDIATELY AFTER emptying the container, during the preparation of the solution.

The tank is contoured for the operator comfort. The shoulder straps can be quickly adjusted to properly position the sprayer on the operator's back.

> Adjusting the shoulder strap

ATTENTION!

After assembling the sprayer, fill the tank with clean water and pressure-check the tank lid, diaphragm, tank bottom, lance and trigger valve for leaks. Most leaks can be stopped by retightening the appropriate connections and fittings. Any leakage must be repaired before returning to service

Maintenance

Triple wash containers

Filter assembly

Filter

After finishing the application, clean and wash all equipment in an approved decontamination area.

Every 40 hours, clean and lubricate the chamber and components, as shown. Remove the chamber and lubricate the piston cups.

Jacto recommends graphite base grease but silicone based grease or vaseline are also acceptable. Do not apply grease excessively to avoid clogging and impurities build-up.

Even the containers considered empty, still contain chemical residues. Some publications show that approximately

0.3% of the chemicals remains in the container after being used.Therefore, discarding the containers without washing out the residues is extremely dangerous to man, animals and environment.

In the case of metal, plastic and glass chemical containers, each container must be rinsed three times to ensure the residues are completely removed. This manual describeds how to perform the TRIPLE WASH in a correct, safe and effective way.

During the TRIPLE WASH, you must use appropriate protective clothing, such as: gloves, apron, boots, goggles and protective masks with appropriate filters.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER emptying the container, keep it upside down over the sprayer tank opening or over the bucket that you are using to prepare the chemical mixture for at least 30 seconds or until no residue is left in the container, when the drops are falling in long intervals.

1∙ Next, hold the container in the

upright position and fill it with water. For example: in a 4 gallon container, put 1 gallon of water.

2∙ Fit the container cap and tight it

enough to avoid leakage during the agitation.

3∙ Agitate the container strongly in all

ways (horizontal and vertical), during approximately 30 seconds to remove the residues that are stuck to the container internal walls.

4∙ Carefully remove the container cap and pour the rinse water into the spray tank.

> Triple wash of empty agrochemicals containers

ATTENTION!

Remove all chemicals before storing the sprayer. Chemical products have different reactions and can damage the sprayer components and environment as well as cause personal injury.

Safety precautions

Maintenance

> Troubleshooting procedure

PROBLEM CAUSES CORRECTIONS

Leak on the upper portion of the cylinder.

Worn or dried out piston cup.

Replace or lubricate the piston cup.

After pumping and pressurizing the chamber the pumping lever falls.

Cylinder valve not sealing properly due to wear or impurities.

Clean or replace the valve.

After pumping and pressurizing the chamber, the lever rises slowly when released.

Chamber valve not sealing properly due to wear or impurities.

Clean or replace the chamber.

Put about 0.5 gallon of water in the tank. While operating the pumping lever, look into the tank.

Refer to the table and diagram below.

Put 1 gallon of water in a bucket and add the chemical product. Stir until it becomes an homogeneous mixture and pour the solution into the tank while filling with water.

Carefully read the chemicals manufacturer's label.

Use of individual protective clothing and safety equipment is recommended.

Do not eat, drink or smoke while spraying.

Do not pollute the environment.

Keep all products out of reach of children and animals. Lock up the chemical products to prevent untrained persons to handling them.

After finishing the spray application, take a shower with plenty of water and soap. Put on clean clothes.

> Cylinder maintenance

Remove the pumping rod from the chamber. Loosen the gasket holder and remove the assembly.

Remove the chamber (A) from the cylinder (B). Clean the ball (C) and the piston cup (D); replace them if necessary.

ATTENTION!

Read carefully the chemicals manufacturer´s labels. Wash hands and other parts of the body that have touched chemi-

cals before starting to spray.

ATTENTION!

The clothing used during the application must be washed separate from other clothes of ordinary use.

In case of intoxication, see a doctor immediately and show him the chemicals manufacturer’s label.

Attach the calibrator bottle to the lance as shown:

Hold the lance at the working height and spray to measure the application band width. Based on the band width, calculate the total walking distance required to spray the desired area

269.1 ft2.

A - Remove the cap, nozzle and filter. B - Mount the calibrator cover to the

lance. C - Reinstall the filter, nozzle and cap. D - Screw the calibrator onto the

cover.

Hold the lance at the normal working height and spray into the bottle while walking the distance required to spray an area corresponding to 269.1 ft2.

Place the bottle on a level surface and observe the liquid level visible through the side of the bottle. Match the liquid level to the corresponding scale on the calibrator bottle.

Empty the bottle and repeat this operation to determine the average of two or more readings.
