DESCRIPTION

The ELECTRAFAN 110/240 is a light, air-assisted, hand-held, spinning disc Con­trolled Droplet Application (CDA) sprayer. It is powered by a mains electric motor
of either 110 volt or 240 volt. The use of a suitable extension cable enables treat­ments of up to 80m from a power source. The sprayer is designed for intermittent
use. The sprayer with a full spray bottle weighs 3.25 kg. An electric motor spins the
atomiser disc to produce uniformly small droplets which are carried to the target by
an airstream generated by the fan. Liquid is fed by gravity. The ELECTRAFAN
110/240 is designed primarily for the foliar application of insecticides and fungicides
in glasshouses and polytunnels of both water-based mixtures (e.g. ECs, WPs) at 20 to
40 litres/hectare total spray volume and Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) formulations. It is
also used to apply public health insecticides, for applying vaccines to poultry and for
insect control on livestock and in animal housing. When using the ELECTRAFAN
110/240 in an enclosed/confined space a full face shield and respirator must be worn
(see ‘OPERATOR PROTECTION’).

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
ONLY USE AT THE VOLTAGE SHOWN ON THE LABEL.

The colours of the mains lead of this machine may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug. Therefore proceed as below:

the earth wire is coloured green and yellow and must be connected to the earth
terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or col­oured green and yellow.
the neutral wire is coloured blue and must be connected to the neutral terminal
marked with the letter N or coloured black.
the live wire is coloured brown and must be connected to the live terminal marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
the IP rating referred to on the label of this machine applies to the motor enclo­sure only.

The machine should be fitted with a latching 16 amp mains plug to BS 4343/CEE 16
or equivalent. If this or any other type of unfused plug is used, a 5 amp fuse must be
fitted at the fuse board. In the U.K. a 13 amp mains plug to BS 1363A, fitted with a 3
amp fuse, should only be used where this is suitable, taking into account the working
environment, and where the method of operation will not cause the mains connection
to be put under strain. The use of a residual current circuit breaker, preferably incor­porating a supply failure automatic drop out facility, is strongly recommended.

An extension lead of up to 80 metres may be fitted using a suitable waterproof cable
connector. The lead should be of heavy duty 3 core flexible cable and of a conductor
size not less than 1.0 mm² (32/0.2 mm). This is essential to avoid excessive voltage
drop. Use the extension lead fully unreeled to prevent overheating. A faulty cable
must be replaced. Ensure the cable does not make contact with the rotating atomiser
disc.

ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE PROPERLY MADE. IF IN
DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

GENERAL SAFETY

Using agrochemicals is a hazardous process, particularly in enclosed areas.
Operators should comply with all relevant legislation and/or regulations governing
the use of agrochemicals and must use appropriate personal protective equipment
(see ‘OPERATOR PROTECTION’). Never use the ELECTRAFAN 110/240 in
potentially explosive atmospheres or spray flammable liquid through it.

The ELECTRAFAN 110/240 can be used with most conventional insecticides and
fungicides, as well as specific ULV formulations (only available in some countries)
which reduce risks in mixing and filling.

Always read the product label carefully to
discover:-

approved applications
maximum dose rates
maximum number of treatments
operator protection required
necessary environmental protection
measures

N.B. ‘Dose rate’ refers to the amount of chemical product applied per hectare.

Never eat, drink, or smoke when working with agrochemicals. After using
agrochemicals or handling equipment wash your hands thoroughly. Keep people
(especially children) and animals out of areas being sprayed.

Always store agrochemicals safely to protect people and animals, and to safeguard
the environment (take special care to avoid water pollution). See spraying sections
for guidelines on safe use of the ELECTRAFAN 110/240 in operation.

3

OPERATOR PROTECTION

Always wear the protective clothing items listed on the product label for mixing and

filling. The minimum protective clothing required for spraying with the ELEC­TRAFAN 110/240 is:

face shield
respirator
rubber gloves and boots
long sleeved shirt
long trousers

Note:

a) Acoustic information: the sound pressure level at the operator’s ear is 90 dB

(A). Using the machine in an enclosed/confined space may cause this level to
increase by up to 6 dB(A). The sound power level of the machine is 94 dB
(A).

The wearing of suitable ear defenders is recommended when using this ma­chine.

b) Vibration: the weighted RMS acceleration value at the hands when using this

machine does not exceed 2.5 m/s².

Always disconnect the sprayer from the mains before servicing or following
‘TROUBLESHOOTING’ procedures.

Never touch the edge of the atomiser disc.

Never insert anything through the fan guard with the machine connected to the bat-

tery.

Never wear loose clothing, e.g. scarves and ties, or any item which could be drawn
into the fan.

Check the sprayer cable frequently for cuts, abrasions and damage. A faulty cable
must be replaced.

4

PREPARING FOR SPRAYING

Check that the intended mains supply corresponds to the lable on the machine before
fitting a plug to the mains cable (see ‘ELECTRICAL SAFETY’).

Before connecting to the mains supply check by hand that the atomiser assembly and
fan rotate freely by turning the atomiser assembly in an anti-clockwise direction. (Do
not touch the edge of the atomiser disc). If they are not free to rotate do not attempt
to start the sprayer but contact your supplier or Service Department at Micron.

Plug the sprayer into the mains supply and switch on to check smooth running of the
atomiser disc and fan.

The sprayer must only be used at the rated voltage. The machine must be switched
off in the event of power interruption or failure.

N.B. Before spraying for the first time with the ELECTRAFAN 110/240, sprayer
operation must be checked using only water (see ‘BEFORE SPRAYING’).

CAUTION. The Electrafan 110/240 are not designed for continuous running. A ther­mal cut out is fitted to the motor to prevent the motor from over heating. If the motor
does over heat the sprayer will stop running, let the motor cool down and the thermal
cut out will reset enabling the operator to carry on spraying.

5

MIXING, FILLING AND CALIBRATION

Mixing and filling is generally the most hazardous process in the spraying operation.

Always follow the label instructions. Always use a funnel when filling the bottle.
Only mix enough spray for the area to be treated if using water-based mixtures to

avoid the need for disposal of unused spray mix.

Always wear gloves when handling
agrochemicals and equipment.

Always wash off any skin
contamination

Always use the correct equipment
when mixing and measuring.

Always clean all equipment after
use.

6

ULV FORMULATIONS

ULV formulations will have full instructions for use on the label.

WATER MISCIBLE PRODUCTS

Conventional water miscible insecticides and fungicides are usually applied with the
ELECTRAFAN 110/240 at 20 to 40 litres total spray volume per hectare. Most in­secticides can be used at 20 litres/hectare but fungicides may require around 40 litres/
hectare. For example, if the label recommends applying a minimum of 2 litres of in­secticide product made up to 100 litres of water per hectare with a conventional
sprayer, use 2 litres of product made up to 20 litres for application with the ELEC­TRAFAN 110/240, i.e. a spray mix concentration of 10%.

Do not use product concentrations greater than the maximum recommended on the
label (unless specific training or recommendations have been given) if the label:

a) specifically prohibits use of ‘Reduced Volumes’ i.e. increased concentrations;
b) has a statutory requirement for use of personal protective equipment when using

the diluted product at high volumes (N.B. this will appear in the statutory box on
the label); or

c) carries one of the following hazard ratings: ‘very toxic’, ‘toxic’ or ‘corrosive’ or

carries the warning ‘risk of serious damage to the eyes’.

Micron do not generally recommend using spray mixes of more than ten times the
maximum concentration recommended for high volume application. At high concen­trations some products can be phytotoxic to crops. Thus, if in doubt, first spray a
small test area. Do not use more than the minimum recommended label dosage rate
i.e. where the label recommendation gives a range of dose rates of, for example, 2 to
3 litres/hectare use no more than 2 litres/hectare. The safest product and lowest dose
rate appropriate for the treatment should be used at all times.

To prepare the spray mix with water miscible products select the dose rate of product
to be applied per hectare (from the product label) and mix in a suitable container.

Examples of mixing spray - for 1 hectare (for 1,000m² i.e. 0.1ha, divide quantities by

10):

a) insecticide: 2 litres
add water: +18 litres
Total volume: 20 litres
i.e. 1 part insecticide : 9 parts water

b) fungicide: 4 litres
add water: +36 litres
Total volume: 40 litres
i.e. 1 part fungicide : 9 parts water

7

CALIBRATION

The work rate when using the ELECTRAFAN 110/240 will be dependent on the
particular situation. In glasshouses/polytunnels it will depend on the type of crop
being treated and the row spacing. In crops such as vegetables and flowers it will
generally take around 45 minutes to spray an area of 1,000m² (1/10 of a hectare). It
will often be necessary to spray crops from both sides of the row to ensure adequate
penetration and even coverage e.g. when foliage is dense, when the crop height
exceeds 0.75m or when planting beds are over 2m wide. As the objective is to apply
an even spray cover to all target surfaces it is very important for the operator to direct
the spray carefully at all areas to be treated e.g. if spraying a crop the ELECTRAFAN
110/240 should be moved gently up and down along the height of the crop (with the

machine held to the side and slightly behind the operator’s direction of travel).

Practice spraying - without any spray mix in the bottle - to see what sort of walking
speed is practical.

The table below indicted the relationship between spray volume, flow rate and
walking speed for the ELECTRAFAN 110/240 as per the following formulae:

a) Formula for calculating required flow rate:-

Flow rate = 6 x spray pass interval x total spray volume x walking speed
(ml/min) (m) (l/ha) (m/s)

b) Formula to calculate the volume applied from a known flow rate:-

Measured flow rate (ml/min) x 10 = spray volume (l/ha)
Area sprayed in one minute (m²)

The following table is a guide to liquid flow rates through various feed nozzles:

Feed nozzle Flow rate (ml/min)

(orifice diameter marked

in mm on nozzle)

Water Oil

(7mm²/sec viscosity)

0.9 23 18

1.1 (fitted) 55 40

1.3 63 46

1.4 85 50

1.6 105 56

2.0 N/A 77

N.B. Liquid flow rates should always be measured with the actual spray mix.
Do not use flow rates over 110 ml/min.

8

Wear the appropriate protective clothing when checking the flow rate. Choose and fit

the feed nozzle that is likely to be required (see ‘TO CLEAN FEED NOZZLE’ for

fitting instructions). Fill the bottle with the spray mix, attach to the sprayer (avoiding
spillage) and then turn the sprayer over above a suitable container (N.B. do not
switch on the sprayer). Wait until the liquid flow is steady and then allow the liquid
to flow into a measuring container for one minute and measure the volume dispensed.
If the flow rate is very different from that required change the feed nozzle and repeat
the above procedure. If the flow rate is close to that required adjust walking speed.

Example: Required spray volume = 30 l/ha; Spray pass interval = 2 m
Flow rate measured = 85 ml/min

Walking speed (m/s) = Flow rate (ml/min)
6 x spray pass interval (m) x total spray volume (l/ha)

= 85 = 0.24 m/sec
6 x 2 x 30

i.e. 0.24 m/s or 14.4 m in one minute (0.24 x 60)

Mark out a distance of 14.4 m and practice walking it in one minute using the sprayer
as if spraying (see ‘BEFORE SPRAYING’).

9

BEFORE SPRAYING

ALWAYS:

wear the recommended protective clothing (see ‘OPERATION PROTECTION’).
plan a spray route before spraying so that the operator walks away from the
treated area.
work towards an exit point.
hold the ELECTRAFAN 110/240 so that it is spraying to the side and slightly be­hind the operator’s direction of travel.
keep the spray head well away from the body to avoid the risk of direct contami­nation by the spray.
check the condition of the battery before the spraying operation (if possible the
day before so that there is time to recharge the battery if required).

Resting position

Spraying position

Before spraying for the first time use water only to check the operation of the
sprayer. Put some clean water in the bottle, add a few drops of liquid detergent and
screw it into the bottle holder. When fitting the bottle into the bottle holder tighten
fully and then unscrew by 1/4 of a turn. If this is not done the airbleed may be
blocked causing liquid feed to stop. Check for leaks. Switch on the sprayer with the
bottle below the atomiser disc and then turn the sprayer over so that the bottle is
above the atomiser disc (spray liquid will then flow through the feed nozzle onto the
atomiser disc). This is the spraying position, and spray will immediately be emitted.
Start walking as soon as the sprayer has been turned over. Practice using the sprayer

by walking along a few metres and then stopping spraying (see ‘TO STOP SPRAY­ING’).

The ELECTRAFAN 110/240 produces small droplets which are barely visible in nor­mal conditions. To check the sprayer output switch on, turn the sprayer into the
spraying position and direct the spray onto a suitable surface such as a pane of glass
or painted surface for a few seconds. A liquid film or mass of small droplets will be
seen.

10

TO START SPRAYING

Carrying the ELECTRAFAN 110/240 in the resting position, move to the planned
starting point of the spray operation. With the sprayer still in the resting position,
switch on the motor to check the smooth running of both the atomiser disc and fan.
Never touch the atomiser disc when spinning. Then turn over the sprayer into the
spraying position, pointing it at the target and start walking immediately.

Always hold the ELECTRAFAN 110/240 slightly to the rear so that the operator
walks away from the spray. Always move the machine smoothly to ensure a steady
airstream to carry the spray droplets to the target. When the bottle is empty mark the
position where spraying stopped and restart spraying from this point. Do not walk
through any part of the sprayed area.

TO STOP SPRAYING - AT THE END OF EACH SPRAY PASS

At the end of each spray pass turn the sprayer over into the resting position (with the
bottle underneath the atomiser disc) to stop the liquid flow, then switch off the
sprayer. Move to the start of the next spray pass and start spraying again.

TO STOP SPRAYING - AT THE END OF THE SPRAY OPERATION

When spraying is finished if using water based mixtures spray out any remaining
spray mix. ULV formulations can be stored for future use. Make sure that all the
spray liquid is ejected from the atomiser disc when the bottle is empty by keeping the
motor running for a few seconds. Then switch the sprayer off.

11

AFTER SPRAYING

1. Dispose of any surplus spray mix according to the product label. Store prod­ucts safely, locked up and out of the reach of children.

2. It is essential to clean the sprayer and bottle thoroughly after use. If using wa­ter-based mixtures a water and detergent mix should be put in the bottle,
swilled around, and then sprayed out onto the treated area. If using ULV for­mulations use kerosene not water and detergent for cleaning out the sprayer.
The sprayer should be wiped down externally using a cloth. Periodically clean
the atomiser assembly (see ‘TO CLEAN ATOMISER ASSEMBLY’).

3. After working with agrochemicals, or handling spraying equipment, always
thoroughly wash hands and exposed skin. All protective clothing should be
washed and stored separately from other clothing. Contaminated gloves
should be washed inside and out.

STORAGE

Before storing the ELECTRAFAN 110/240 for long periods clean the fan guard with
a small brush to remove any deposits and wipe the metal components with an oily rag
to help combat corrosion. Do not use a directed water jet to clean the sprayer.

Store the sprayer in a clean dry place away from direct sunlight. The battery should
be recharged and stored in a cool dry place.

TO CLEAN ATOMISER ASSEMBLY

Always disconnect the sprayer from the mains supply before servicing.

Hold the fan by inserting a pencil or similar between the guard rings near the name­plate. Remove the atomiser spindle nut by turning clockwise when facing the atom­iser assembly (left hand thread). If the nut is tight loosen using pliers. Pull off the
atomiser assembly, soak in paraffin, preferably overnight, then drain and dry.

Alternatively, dismantle the atomiser assembly by releasing the 3 clamp screws and
nuts. Clean carefully. When re-assembling be certain to replace the two spacer
washers on each screw before re-fitting the stainless steel rear collector disc.

Check that the bearing cover is in place, then place the atomiser assembly on the
shaft, followed by the atomiser spindle nut (left hand thread). To tighten hold the fan
as above, turn the nut anti-clockwise until finger tight, then rotate the atomiser assem­bly anti-clockwise. Do not overtighten.

TO CLEAN FEED NOZZLE

Remove the atomiser assembly as above. Remove the bearing cover from the shaft.
To do this it may be necessary to tilt the bearing cover so that there is clearance be­tween the outer diameter of the bearing cover and the feed nozzle.

16

Unscrew the feed nozzle using a 6.BA or 5mm AF spanner and clean carefully with a
soft wire, e.g. fuse wire. Clean the feed line with a pipe cleaner. Re-fit the feed noz­zle. Before re-fitting the atomiser assembly, screw on a spray bottle filled with either
kerosene (when using ULV formulations) or water and detergent (when using water­based sprays) and check for free liquid flow. Re-fit the bearing cover and the atom­iser assembly, and tighten as previously described.

TO SERVICE MOTOR AND SWITCH

(Only to be carried out by qualified Service Engineers)

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove handle caps and guard retainer screws.

2. Remove outer fan guard and circular guard ring.

3. Remove fan and inner guard.

4. Remove fan drive pin (tight push in), slinger and washer.

5. Remove switch cover (two retainer screws near fan shaft). Note position of large
‘O’ ring and ensure this is re-fitted to the motor housing before re-assembly.

6. Gently pull switch cover clear of the fan shaft and move to one side to expose mo­tor brushes, switch and internal wiring.

N.B. Replacement brushes for the motor are available from Micron. If the armature
or bearings need replacing, a new motor will be required.

When re-assembling:

1. Reverse the above procedure.

2. Make sure the fan drive pin is located in the grooves in the fan hub. This prevents
the fan shaft from rotating when the fan nut is tightened.

REPLACEMENT OF MAINS CABLE (see also ‘ELECTRICAL SAFETY’)

Use 5m of PVC sheathed and insulated 3 core flexible cable with 1mm² (32/0.2mm)
conductors. Strip outer sheath and refit heat protection sleeving to individual leads
using original lead as a pattern.

The diagram below illustrates the correct connections to be made when replacing the
cable:

green and yellow wire to the terminal marked (Earthed)
blue wire to the terminal marked N (Neutral)
brown wire to the terminal marked L (Live)
