Maintenance precautions

Before inspecting and carrying out maintenance on the control unit:
- Completely drain all fluid and rinse with clean water.
- Stop the pump and discharge the circuit's pressure (main valve OFF).
- Disconnect the power cables (remove the plugs).
Access the control unit after stopping and parking the tractor on which the system is installed, following the
safety precautions in the tractor's manual.
Carry out operations in safe areas away from children.
Protect eyes and other parts of the body with suitable clothing.
Contact with chemical product residues can be harmful to health.
Wash well with water after every operation.
Do not inhale the vapors created by the fluid in the circuit and the tank.
Do not place any part of the control units in your mouth or swallow (they are not edible).
Do not dispose of circuit fluids in the environment. Always protect the soil and drainage systems by disposing
of residues according to current local regulations.
Do not, in any way, modify the connections or structure of the control unit.
Always contact Geoline Customer Service regarding any changes.

Routine maintenance

- Periodically verify the condition of the hoses and their proper connection.
- Periodically verify the operation of the pressure relief valve.
- Periodically verify the operation of the pressure gauge.
- Use a cloth (damp, if necessary) for cleaning operations.
- Do not spray jets of water onto the control units.
- Do not leave fluid inside the unit when it is not being used. If it is not used for several days, the internal parts
could quickly wear out.
- Rinse the system with clean water after each treatment.
- Grease the gaskets of the valve pins using suitable silicone grease (e.g. water-repellent anti-adhesive lubricant).
- If the system is subjected to temperatures below 0°C during the winter, insert antifreeze (car) into the circuit.
-- Do not use the system when ice is present (the pump, hoses and pressure relief valve could break).
- When starting work, remove the antifreeze and clean the system thoroughly with water.
Verify the operation of the all of the unit's components (refer to the chapter entitled, "USE").
