Technical information
Sprayer description
The Casotti sprayer is a practical and modern means for rapid distribution of plant protection products, and has been designed and
manufactured in conformity with directive 2006/42/CE.
It consists of a central body made of steel and aluminium in which
the pipelines that input the product to be distributed are installed.
The sprayer must be applied to a tank for liquid and a pump is
required.
The liquid is put into pressure by the pump and opportunely filtered
passes from the tank to the sprayers, supplied with nozzles, positioned
lower down from the central body.
An electric 12 Volt motor connected to the battery of the tractor generates the oscillating movement of the nozzles.

Technical information
Machine use
The machine, which in this manual is defined Casotti sprayer, is
to be used for the distribution of phytosanitary products on grass
crops and other plants in general and, if necessary for cleaning
and disinfection.
The use on grass crops is suggested in those situations
where it is impossible to use traditional sprayers, for
instance: in the presence of obstacles to the machine
passage, bumpy roads or slopes.
The correct use of the machine is generally an alternative
to the use of the manual lance.
Any other use not approved or recommended by the
manufacturer is contrary to the proper use and is to be
considered incorrect use.
The use of the machine is prohibited in the presence of
wind or next to water streams as well as in areas defined
as sensitive and vulnerable to phytosanitary products
contamination.
The use of phytosanitary products shall respect the amounts and
methods defined by the rules in force in your Country.
In case the machine is used for cleaning and disinfection, please
contact Casotti in order to verify the use method and the suitability
of the used product.
Models and technical characteristics
Are the sprayers all the same?
No, they can be type EURO or type SUPER, check the plate.
The body of the machine is different:
In the body of models type EURO there are TWO steel bolts, a central one and
a side one.
In models type SUPER there are THREE pivots, two central ones and a side one.
EURO:
Electroget, Euroget, Electroget Olivo.
SUPER:
Dupiget, Dupiget Deluxe, Superget, Dupiget Olivo, Dupiget Vigneto,
Dupiget Greenhouse.
The mechanism which leads to the control pivots produces an oscillation of the
jets of 180°, whilst the side pivot oscillates at about 90°.
What is the side pivot used for?
- To treat the initial part of the field, or at the end of treatment, if a strip of soil
of limited width is left over.
- To spray only from one side: we can insert a rubber tube and elbow nozzle
support (es. cod. 13) onto this pivot (remove or cut off supply to the other
possible elbows), opportunely orientating the nozzles.
- To spray the olive tree from one side only, the appropriate bar must be
inserted right on this side pivot (see olivo pag. 23)
All the components are of excellent quality, in the more recent models even the
screws and nuts and bolts are made of stainless steel.
The rubber pipelines have particular textile intersections which strengthen the
rubber making it torsion and weather-proof (from -30 to +70 degrees C.), the
nozzles are made of steel or brass, with inserts made of widia or allumina (ceramic).
Nozzles of different sizes are available, see table pag. 16.
Anti drip devices can be applied to all the sprayers.

The Casotti sprayer can be applied to any carried or pulled equipment,
supplied with tank and pump. We recommend a medium pump or high pressure:
minimum 20, maximum 50 bar.
The sprayer does not work with low pressure pumps.
Required capacity: minimum 35 litres per minute.
Firstly apply a metal tube diam. 48 (not supplied) to the tank framework.
Assemble the orthoganal joint onto the tube (cod. 30), then insert the support
(cod. 29) into the joint.
Position the sprayer, referring to the specifications of each model.
Tighten the bolts to avoid the accidental fall of the machine.
Activate the electric and hydraulic connections
Electric connection:
Add cable to the current plug supplied (cod. 31) in order to reach the position on
the tractor with a voltage of 12 volt.
(For 24 volt connection, contact Casotti for specific instructions).
A double pole cable 2 x 1 in conformity with the current safety laws must be
used.
Warning:
The plug coming with the machine has 2 codes next to the two poles, visible on
the front side.
When the cable is connected to the plug the positive pole has to be fitted into n° 58.
If the wires are reversed this can cause irreparable damage to the electric components of the sprayer.
Insert the electrical plug (cod. 31) to the socket ( cod. 27) positioned on the side
of the central body. Activate the switch (cod. 28) positioned on the body of the
sprayer, and make sure power arrives.
Always keep at a safe distance from the moving parts.
Hydraulic connection:
Each pipeline coming from the pump must be inserted in the elbow (cod. 41)
which is fixed to the tube support (cod. 23 or 24).
In models without the tube support (for example sprayers for olive trees or
vineyards) the pipeline coming from the pump must be inserted directly on the
machine body, using the revolving union (cod. M300) supplied.

To calculate the quantity of liquid to be distributed per hectare, refer to the
following formula:
D = Q x 600 / L x V
where: D = Quantity to be distributed in litres per hectare
Q = overall nozzle capacity in Lt/min
L = Operative working width
V = Speed
That is:
Overall nozzle capacity x 600
working width x speed
= litres of liquid per hectare

Technical information
Modification of the angle of oscillation
Possible breakages
The Casotti sprayer usually comes appropriately adjusted in accordance to the
work to be carried out.
For example, in the models for treatments of full field, the nozzles describe an
angle of about 180°; in the models for olive trees the nozzle oscillates with an
angle of about 90°.
To modify the angle of oscillation, use the regulator under the rubber plug (cod.
4) in the lower cover.
Remove the plug and turn the switch to the lowest speed. Stop movement using
the switch, when “ 0 “ is shown at the centre of the hole: reference “ 0 “ indicates
regulation at 180°.
To modify the angle of oscillation, loosen the screw and with a screwdriver push
the regulation lever for about 2 cm., then check that the angle is the desired one.
If this is not so regulate the lever again.
This chapter lists the most frequent anomalies, the possible causes and solutions
to restore normal conditions of operation. If the breakage is not included in the
case study shown here, Casotti can be contacted for necessary indiciations.
The liquid does not arrive: - Make sure the tank is not empty.
- Check operation of the pump.
The nozzle holder elbows do not oscillate:
- Check there is electric supply to the motor
- Disassemble the cover and check for motor
breakdown.
- Check if the white plastic gear inside the motor is worn.
(see diagram)
WARNING: when ordering the motor gear as spare part, the number of cogs
or the motor initials must be specified.
- 56 cogs for motor TGE 597 (from1985 to 1992)
- 55 cogs for motor TGE 428 (from 1993 onwards)
Gear 56 cogs is no longer available, substitute the motor.
TGE 428 can be applied in place of the old motors.

Maintenance and dismantling
Do not allow non qualified personnel to carry out maintenance
operations and make sure the personnel in charge of the machine
has read this manual.
Do not carry out maintenance operations while the system is in
operation
All operations of maintenance and repair must be carried out with
the electric supply cut off , maintenance in the electric part must be
carried out by specialized personnel.
Always use Casotti original spare parts, use of non original spare
parts can cause irreparable damage to the system and to personnel.
Normal maintenance of the sprayer is solved by lubricating the
internal pivots of the cogged wheels, which give movement to the
elbow nozzle support, by pumping lubricant into the grease box.
It is not possible to see when lubrication is necessary therefore use
1 pump up a year as a reference.
The Casotti sprayer as designed does not require specific cleaning,
having said this we recommend that the pipelines are cleaned with
water at the end of the work cycle.
The machine is made up of different types of material: these must
be disposed of in accordance to the current laws in the country of
use.
Contact the appropriate authorities for locations and procedures.
The first operation to be carried out is elimination of the electric
connection between sprayer and the tractor.
Unscrew the rubber tube which connects the pump to the sprayer,
unscrew the orthogonal joint ( fig. 30 spare parts) and remove the
sprayer from the support tube.
Disassemble the various parts of the sprayer and carry out disposal
of the various parts, such as:

Instructions for use
Treatments and weeding on open field
The use on grass crops is reserved for those situations preventing the
use of traditional sprayers, for instance: in the presence of obstacles
to the machine passage, bumpy roads or slopes
Casotti sprayer is a valid alternative to the use of the manual lance.
The Casotti sprayers are in particular suitable for antiparasitic treatment.
As far as weeding and drying up is concerned, they can be used only in certain
conditions and with the adequate caution.
The use of the machine is prohibited in the presence of wind or next to water
streams as well as in areas defined as sensitive and vulnerable to phytosanitary
products contamination.
The sprayer can be applied to any carried or pulled equipment, supplied with
tank and medium or high pressure pump, minimum 20 bar.
The recommended work pressure is about 10 bar for weeding, from 10 to 15 bar
for antiparasitic treatments.
The machine must be positioned at a height of about 50-60 cm from the ground
or from the vegetation.
According to the model, there are one or more jets, called elbow nozzle supports.
Horizontal movement of the elbow or about 180° simulates the movement of
manual lances.
Using the appropriate regulation screws, assemble the sprayer so that the elbows
remain perfectly horizontal.
Infact, the jets must not touch the ground or the vegetation: the product atomizes at mid air and then falls again. Distribution is uniform, equal to traditional
systems (bars). Anti drip devices are available on request.

Instructions for use
The total working width varies from 6 to 14 metres, and depends on the pressure
and on the diametre of the nozzles.
The average working width is about 10 metres, referring to standard nozzles: two
round nozzles diam. 2,5 mm and one fanshaped nozzle diam. 1,5 mm at an
average pressure of 10 bar.
Olive tree
When treating the foliage of the olive tree, peach tree or similar, the sprayer jets
work vertically, that is they oscillate from top to bottom and viceversa, at an angle
of about 90°, simulating the movement of the manual lance.
However, in the treatment on field keep in mind that a minor quantity is distriibuted on two ends compared to the central part.
This is not effect of drifting since it occurs also in optimal conditions, it is simply
determined by the characteristics of the machine itself, which could be defined as
a “mechanical” lance.
Therefore, a superimposition of about m 1-1,50 is recommended in the subsequent phase.
The sprayer can be applied to any carried or pulled equipment, with a high pressure pump (50 bar), the recommended work pressure goes from 25 to 30 bar. A
sufficiently long metal tube must be fixed at the back of the tank, which allows the
sprayer to be positioned at a height of about 2 metres from the ground.
The angle of oscillation and the height from the ground is decided in accordance
to the size of the trees.
For manoeuvres at bottom field the output of liquid must be interrupted, for
example by removing the power take off. Idle movement does not cause problems.
The sprayers for the olive trees have one or two bars, cod. 32/R, see photo
pag. 52/53.
If positioned correctly, the sprayer looks like a watch: the clock face is the round
cover of the machine (the regulation plug is visible cod. 4), the bars are the watch
hands, indicating the time 10 and 10 minutes.
How to calculate the quantity distributed per hectare?
The quantity (approximate) is obtained using a simple formula,
see pag. 17
The bar nozzles can be regulated, making it possible to vary the widenss and
length of the range,and can be closed.
Is it possible to spray from only one side?
Yes see pag. 13
What’s the difference between the various models?
See technical charateristics, pag. 13
Depending on the type of treatment to be carried out , four models are
available: Electroget, Euroget, Dupiget, Superget.
Electroget and Euroget can operate also with low capacity pumps,
minimum 35 lt/min
Dupiget and Superget need pumps with a higher capacity, mnimum 60 lt/min
22
If there are scattered trees, spraying must be carried out from one side only. The
most suitable model is Electroget Olivo (pag. 53).
In normal systems, if the trees are sufficiently big and close by, treatment can be
done in a single phase from both sides, using model Dupiget Olivo (pag. 52).
However, spraying from one side only can be done even with Dupiget, by closing
a pump delivery or by rotating the adjustable jets till they are closed.
How not to waste product between one olive tree and the next?
Stop distribution of liquid (idle oscillation of the jets does not cause problems)
in different ways:
- Using the pump control unit.
- Using the device Casotti STOPPER.
- Completely automatically, using the device Casotti AQUILOTTO.

Instructions for use
Vineyard
The Casotti sprayer is effective in the vineyard, both in the distribution of traditional products, as well as of synthesis. Ideal in biological grape growing and in
vineyards on a slope.
It operates also with tractors of modest power, thus avoiding the excessive compression of the soil.
The sprayer can be applied to any carried or pulled equipment, with high pressure
pump (50 bar), the recommended work pressure goes from about 10 to 15 bar.
Dupiget Vigneto has two bars fitted with 3 nozzles, available with or without anti
drip device.
The bars oscillate horizontally at an angle of about 45°,
favouring penetration of the product.
In the espalier vineyard the sprayer must be positioned at the adequate height,
so that the jets of the bar are in correspondence with the foliage.
At the start of treatment only one nozzle per side is used, the rest are closed.
As the vegetation increases the other nozzles are gradually opened up.
In the vineyard, in order to avoid product dispersion in the atmosphere, it is recommended to spray always and exclusively between the rows on the espalier,
DUPIGET must not be used for simultaneous spraying of several rows from the top.
When carrying out manoeuvres at bottom field liquid output must be interrupted,
for example by disinserting the power take off .
Idle movement does not cause problems.
