MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER
SUCTION FILTERLocated between the tank and pump, the suction filter is specifically designed to prevent dirt
or impurities from reaching the pump.It has a quick shut off valve which allows easy filter cleaning, filtering elements changing and/
or pump maintenance. This valve also directs the water flow from the main or auxuliary tank to thepump.
This valve must always remain set to the main tank when the sprayer is running. If it remainsclosed, you will hear an unusual noise in the pump.
To turn on and off the flow or to deviate it between the main and auxiliary tanks, just turn thevalve maintaining the lever indicator arrow as shown below.
PUMPThe pumps mounted to Arbus 4000 Super Export have capacity ranging from 150 to 190
liters per minute.
Their ceramic liners ensure greaterresistance to abrasion and chemical'saction.
Moreover, the piston cup can beeasily replaced by removing the headassembly in a quick and simple operationwith no need to remove the pump.

NOZZLESThe nozzles have the job to generate droplets and distribute them uniformly over the surface
being sprayed.
Flow, angle and droplet sizes vary according to working pressure. Operating with pressure over
that recommended by the manufacturer will decrease the nozzles' life.
This sprayer is equipped with alumina (ceramic) nozzles, very resistant to wear and to chemical
action, and mounted as shown in the figures below.
The nozzles holders with valve can be adjusted to desired angle and can be shut offindividually.
NOTE: To adjust the nozzle, loosen the nut (1), set it in the desired position and retightenthe nut.
ATTENTION: Do not overtighten the nut. Check if the torque is about 6 to 8 kgf/m usinga torque wrench.

A successful spray application does not depend only on a good sprayer or correct use of thechemicals 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 positiveresults may be attained within the pest control program.
- Ideal time - Application rate- Safety - Good coverage- Sprayer operational condition - Well trained operator
IDEAL TIMEThe 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;- Infection level of diseases;- Growing stage of weeds;- Weather conditions.
SAFETYWhen 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.Do not allow the operator to handle chemicals and spraying machinery without the properindividual protective clothing.
CORRECT APPLICATION RATEAny 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.This calibration can be obtained through practical methods or formulas. Please refer to the
section OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS - CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER.
GOOD COVERAGEYou 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 regionalfactors.
IMPORTANT!READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW STRICTLY THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE
CHEMICALS MANUFACTURER'S LABEL.ALWAYS FOLLOW DIRECTIONS OF A TECHNICIAN WHEN HANDLING AND
APPLYING CHEMICALS.ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE SPRAYER IS IN GOOD OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS
BEFORE STARTING THE SPRAYING JOB AND EMPLOY A WELL TRAINEDOPERATOR.

Series JA hollow cone nozzles are produced by processes developed for exacting marketsof mechanical engineering, space and aerospace industries. A special mold injection process
makes a perfect orifice on the nozzles, giving better quality to the surface finish than that achieved
by machines. And the result is better coverage and more homogenous spraying.These nozzles are approved by international quality standards, ensuring an outstanding spray
cone uniformity and flow rate of nozzles.
The alumina-sintered nozzles are almost as hard as diamond and resist yet the most corrosiveproducts. This provides perfect stability for long time concerning all requirements such as flow rate,

7- Insufficient pump suction.
TROUBLE-SHOOTINGa - LACK OF SUCTION AND PUMPING CAPACITY
PROBABLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
To run the hydraulic system, it is necessary to contain a minimumquantity of liquid, otherwise there will be no pressure.
The sprayer should be run with 540 rpm at PTO. Check visuallywhether the pump is being run.
Check the filter packing ring. The filter should not leak.
When the pump runs, liquid will pass through the valve even in theclosed position, however it will be insufficient. Open it.
Impurities in the filter prevent a free liquid flow. Clean the filterwhenever filling the tank, or with more frequency depending on thequality of the water and the type of product applied.
5- Obstruction in the intake hoses.
Check whether the hose connecting the filter to the pumpis twisted.Check whether there is any obstruction in the hoses from tankto filter. Fill up the tank with water, open the valve and verify ifit flows freely.
2- Lack of water in the tank.
4- Dirty filter.
1- Low PTO rpm.
7- Worn nozzles.
The proper PTO rotation is 540 rpm.
When the pumps runs, liquid will pass through the valve even in theclosed position, however flow will be insufficient.
The filter should be clean to allow free liquid flow.3- Filter partially obstructed.
4- Intake hose partially obstructed.
A deficient pump will cause depressurization. Check whether thehose connecting the filter to the pump is twisted.Verify whether there is any obstruction in the hoses connecting thetank to the filter. Fill the tank with water, open the valve and observeif it flows freely.
Disconnect the pressure hose from the control valve.Run the sprayer at 540 rpm.Collect water for one minute and measure. The volume collectedshould approximate this shown below for each pump model:JP - 402 = 38 L/min JP-100 = 100 L/minJP - 42 = 42 L/min JP-150 = 150 L/minJP - 75 = 75 L/min JP - 300 = 300 L/min
Check whether the nozzle flow is within the recommendedguidelines.Replace the nozzles when the flow rate exceeds 10% of thespecified.Use only nozzles recommended by the sprayer manufacturer.
Remove the cover of the suction valves.Check the condition of the valves and replace them if necessary.
