4USER’S INSTRUCTIONS

4.1DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE

The sprayers are made of a structural steel frame and a polyester tank reinforced with fibreglass or high-density polyethylene.

The frame is painted with special fired epoxy paints or, depending on the versions, hot galvanised. The tank is easy to empty and this makes it possible to use the machine even on hillsides.

The pumps are generally diaphragm pumps but in some cases fitted with pistons.

The accessories that can be used to complete the sprayer include: lifting devices, self-levelling devices, mechanical or hydraulic herbicide booms, jets and nozzles and this makes the UNIGREEN sprayer a highly qualified and efficient piece of equipment.
