| Before operating this unit, be sure to protect yourself from the hazards of agricultural chemicals by wearing all required safety clothing and equipment, including shoes, gloves, body suit, face shield, respirator, and goggles. |
 |
| A discharge line from the BatchBoy must lead to your
sprayer tank and be secured to the tank. Bottom filling of your sprayer
tank is recommended, having a shut off valve on the discharge hose, a shut
off valve on the tank filling line, and a quick disconnect between the
two shut off valves.
If you are bottom filling your sprayer tank be sure the tank is vented before starting to fill the tank with water. You may need to remove the fill cover to provide sufficient venting. If vented, the vent must be large enough to allow the escape of water at a rate equal to the rate you fill the tank. A water supply to the BatchBoy needs to be in place and ready to create a flow of water through the unit and on to fill your sprayer tank. Before operating the BatchBoy all plumbing lines and connections must be complete and leak free. The BatchBoy must be securely anchored and all chemical containers must be secured. |
 |
| Chemical draw lines need to be in place leading from the Chemical
Valves on the BatchBoy to each chemical container. Before
drawing chemical out of it's container, you must vent the container.
The BatchBoy uses vacuum to draw chemical out of it's container and if the container is not vented it may collapse, creating a very dangerous situation. Valves on the BatchBoy should be positioned as follows:
|
 |
| Open all valves that will allow water to flow from the water supply,
all the way through to the sprayer tank. This includes the valves on the
discharge line going to your sprayer tank and the shut off valve on your
nurse tank supplying water to your transfer pump.
At this point you should know what you want to do and all equipment should be ready to do what you want it to do. |
