Operating principle
Pump (10) sucks up the liquid through suction filter (11). The valve lever position indicates the origine of the liquid sucked by the pump:
-
- Suction valve (13):
• External suction.
• Main tank suction.
-
- Rinsing tank valve (12) (optional):
• Outer filling.
• Rinsing tank suction.
The pump supplies liquid to all spraying sections:
-
- BY-PASS valve (4) protects the overpressure circuit.
- Product incorporator lever (6) (optional).
- Discharge valve (7): The valve lever position indicates the destination of the liquid that has flown back from the pump:
• Outer discharge.
• Booms.
Flow regulation valve (3) adjusts the boom flow by means of returning part of the liquid to the tank. The larger the flow regulation valve opening, the high er the r eturn to tank. The smaller the flow regulation valve opening, the lower the return to the tank.
When optional equipment is used, follow specific procedures mentioned in the related section:
- Tank gyrocleaner.
