Operating - Chemical inductor


Operating the chemical inductor

1. Run the spray pump to at least 320 revs on the PTO and put at least 200 litres of water into the spray tank.

2. Ensure all the taps on the inductor are initially turned off.

3. Turn the pressure control valve to the Chemical Inductor position and the suction control to the desired position (preferably water self-fill).

4. A flushing ring is fitted around the top of the hopper and can be used to flush the contents down into the venturi. To turn it on, switch the can-wash/flush ring tap on the left hand side of the hopper to the on/up position.

5. Pour chemicals or powders into hopper.

6. Turn main suction valve on inductor to the on position when the hopper is half-3/4 full. Chemical/powders will then be drawn out of the hopper.

7. To operate the can-wash, the flush ring must also be firstly be working then simply invert the empty container and press down on the valve. A jet of water will then be directed into the can. For the best cleaning effect, move the can around so the jet reaches all parts of the can.

8. A flushing hose is also fitted to the hopper to assist mixing/dispersing powders and for cleaning the hopper. A tap is situated on the left hand side of the hopper for this hose.

9. As soon as the hopper is empty, turn the tap under the hopper to the Off position. Failure to do so will cause foaming in the spray tank due to the venturi sucking air. This tap may have to be turned on and off several times during the filling and flushing operation or alternatively may be only partially opened to slow down the flow from the hopper.

10. When you have finished, turn all taps on the chemical inductor to the OFF position. Turn the main sprayer pressure valve back to either the spray/fill or spray/circulate position position.
