8.7PUTTING BACK INTO SERVICE AFTER WINTER LAYUP

Before using the machine again after a long period of inactivity you should perform some general checks, following the instructions in point 4.4 and drain any antifreeze.

Never start the shaft of the pump if you think there may by ice inside. To check this, make sure you can turn the shaft by hand without connecting it to the tractor.

After you have connected the machine to the tractor (see point 4.5) following the instructions in the present user’s handbook and in the enclosures of the pump, pressure regulator and accessories.

8.8DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL

When the sprayer will be put out of service you should wash it with great care to remove any residues of chemical product, follow the instructions in point 4.13 of the present handbook. ATTENTION: It is necessary to adopt appropriate Individual Protection Devices in manipulating waste.

The disposal of waste deriving from the demolition of the machine must be carried out respecting the environment, avoiding soil, air and water pollution.

Local legislation in force in the matter must be respected in any case.

Remember that waste is understood as any substance or object that enters into the categories shown in attachment A in part IV of Legislative Decree 152/2006, that the holder has destroyed, has decided or is obliged to destroy.

Waste deriving from the demolition of the machine is classifiable as special waste.

8.7.1 MATERIALS FOR DEMOLITION

Non-dangerous special waste is that which can be recovered, according to the February 1998 Ministerial Decree:

·Iron, aluminium, stainless steel and copper materials

·Plastic materials

·Electronic cards

·Hydraulic oil

·Electrical plant

8.7.2INDICATIONS FOR A SUITABLE TREATMENT OF WASTE The Correct management of special waste envisages:

- stocking in suitable places, avoiding mixing dangerous waste with the non-dangerous. - ensuring that authorised carriers and receivers carry out its transport and disposal/ recovery.

Transport of one's waste to authorised collection centres is allowed exclusively if you are enrolled in the Environmental Management Register.

8.7.3ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS WASTE (EEAW)

The Italian government has adopted the European Parliament directives in the matter of the disposal of electrical and electronic waste (EEAW) (2002/95/CE and 2003/108/CE Directives) with Legislative Decree n° 151,July 25 2005).

The measures: in particular, the decree established measures and procedures aimed at:

a)forestalling the production of EEAW;

b)promoting the re-use, recycling and other forms of EEAW recovery, in order to reduce the quantity to send for disposal;

c)improving, in terms of the environment, the actions of the subjects who participate in the life-cycle of these apparatuses (producers, distributors, consumers and operators directly involved in the treatment of EEAW);

d)reducing the use of dangerous substances in electrical and electronic apparatus.

The decree imposes the limitation and elimination of several substances present in EEAW: lead, mercury, cadmium, chrome, hexavalent chrome, polybrominated biphenyl, polybrominated diphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

The machine has been designed and created in conformity with this directive. Follow the indications shown below.

The symbol to the side, showing a barred garbage can on wheels, indicates the separate collection of the electrical and electronic apparatuses of the machine.

The user of the present machine can contact the collection centres instituted by the Local Authorities or the UNIGREEN Company directly, or request withdrawal by the dealer, in order to carry out correct disposal of the waste.

Unigreen CAMPO 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 manual Putting Back Into Service After Winter Layup, Demolition and Disposal

CAMPO 11 - 16 - 22 - 32, DSP 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 specifications

Unigreen DSP Series and CAMPO Series are advanced agricultural sprayers designed to meet the evolving needs of modern farming. The Unigreen DSP (Dynamic Spraying Product) models 11, 16, 22, and 32, along with the CAMPO models of the same specifications, are engineered for efficiency, precision, and reliability in crop protection.

One of the key features of the Unigreen DSP models is their innovative spraying technology. Each model is equipped with a high-capacity tank that allows for extended operation without the need for frequent refills. The DSP series incorporates adjustable booms that provide precise application across various crop types. This ensures uniform coverage and minimizes waste, making it an environmentally friendly option for farmers.

The CAMPO series also boasts similar tank capacities and boom adjustments, making them suitable for diverse agricultural applications. Both series offer customizable options, allowing farmers to choose the configuration that best fits their land and crop requirements.

Another standout characteristic of both Unigreen and CAMPO sprayers is their user-friendly interface. Equipped with advanced electronic controls, farmers can easily monitor and adjust spray rates, pressure, and other critical parameters in real time. This technology not only enhances the sprayers' operational efficiency but also aids in achieving the optimum application rates for different pesticides and fertilizers.

Furthermore, both series integrate cutting-edge GPS technology, enabling precision agriculture practices. This feature allows operators to map their fields, ensuring that every inch is accurately treated, while also reducing the possibility of overlap or missed areas. This precision application reduces chemical usage and ultimately leads to cost savings.

Durability is another primary focus in the design of the Unigreen DSP and CAMPO sprayers. Built with high-quality materials that can withstand harsh environmental conditions, these sprayers promise longevity and consistent performance over time.

In summary, Unigreen DSP and CAMPO models 11, 16, 22, and 32 are technologically advanced agricultural sprayers that combine efficiency, precision, and durability. With features such as adjustable booms, advanced electronic controls, and GPS technology, they cater to the diverse needs of today’s farmers, helping to enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impact. These sprayers are positioned to play a pivotal role in the future of sustainable agriculture.
