Bleeding air from the circuit
When air is present in the system, the pump must be primed. The main causes of air in the system are as follows:
-
The pump has been switched off for a long time.
-
The suction filter has been opened.
-
The selected tank is empty and the pump is switched on.
-
The symptom of air in the circuit is as follows:
-
The pressure varies rapidly and with amplitudes greater than ± 0.5 bar | 7.25 psi.
To prime the pump:
-
Make sure the pump is switched off.
-
Position the valves:
-
Valve A : position 2
-
Valve B : position 4
-
Valve C : position 5
-
Valve D : position 100%
-
-
Engage the pump.
-
Wait for the pressure to stabilize.
-
If the pressure does not stabilise, check that there are no leaks and ensure that the liquid level in the selected tank is sufficient (position 5 or 6 of valve C).
-
To adjust the working pressure, refer to the Adjust the working pressure chapter (Adjusting the working pressure).
Checking nozzle orientation
The nozzle angle should be 15°.
The angle can be measured easily using a number 8 open-end spanner. When the spanner grips the nozzle, it should be aligned parallel to the boom.
If a nozzle needs adjusting, do not do it yourself as this could upset the solenoid valve. Contact your dealer.
