the FrontTank from the MainTank.

box.

described in the MEGA Instruction book chapter 5 - Operation

“Filling liquid/powder chemicals using the TurboFiller”.

3. Pump the spray liquid from the MainTank to the FrontTank, using the

valve settings shown in the illustration.

μATTENTION! It is not possible to use the TurboFiller and pump

liquid from the MainTank to the FrontTank at the same time, it must

be done in two individual procedures.

air out of the system is necessary to ensure a steady and

continuous application of the spray liquid.
