1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Weedingtech M1200!
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL OPERATORS READ AND
UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THE MACHINE
Having read these instructions, the operator will:
•Understand how the M1200 works
•Identify key components in the M1200
•Know how to carry out pre-start and start-up
procedures
•Observe safe operating practices
•Be able to effectively operate the M1200
•Be able to shut down and clean the M1200
•Be able to perform basic maintenance and
troubleshooting tasks
PLEASE KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
2. Important information
The following PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) are
recommended when operating the M1200:
•Eye protection is required when handling
Foamstream® concentrate
•Gloves are required as the lance assembly will get hot
•Safety Footwear suitable for working in the areas
concerned is recommended
•No specific protective clothing is required, although
use of overalls and a HI-Viz vest is suggested as best
practice.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO WEAR
APPROPRIATE PPE
Never operate the machine without checking that there are
adequate supplies of clean diesel, clean water and clean
Foamstream® concentrate in the appropriate tanks.
The M1200 produces VERY HOT water. This can cause
serious burns and injury if used incorrectly.
Never point the lance at people or animals as this machine
operates at high temperature and low pressure.
All personnel operating a M1200 machine must be deemed
competent to do so and must be adequately trained. A copy
of the training record is available on demand.
Always check the M1200 for any damage before use.
Damaged cables, hoses or connections must be reported
immediately, and the machine taken out of use until repairs
have been completed.
Use only genuine Weedingtech spare parts and
Foamstream® consumables. This will ensure the best
performance of your machine and maintain the warranty of
the unit.
The M1200 must never be modified, safety interlocks
bypassed or settings adjusted (unless specified in these
guidance notes) without Weedingtech’s written consent.
Ensure that the M1200 is placed in an area where there is
adequate ventilation when in use.

Ensure that the consumable liquid (foam concentrate) is not
subject to temperatures below 5 degrees centigrade at any
time.
Ensure that both the M1200 and its water tank are securely
attached to the transport vehicle. It is the responsibility of
the vehicle driver to ensure that any load is secure and that
any payload restrictions are observed you can refer to
section 13 for more information on transport.
NEVER OPERATE THE M1200 WITHOUT FOAMSTREAM®
CONCENTRATE
3. Product description
The M1200 weed control unit consists of:
•Foamstream®
•Water tank (780 litres)
•Hose reel (30 metres)
•Lance
The M1200 houses a diesel-powered boiler, a diesel-
powered generator, a logic controller (PLC), a piston pump,
a 52 litres diesel tank, and a 22 litres Foamstream®
concentrate tank.
When the water reaches 95 degrees centigrade, a valve
opens allowing water to flow from the lance (12 lpm @ 12
bar) and a venturi mixer opens to allow Foamstream®
concentrate to be injected at a ratio of 99.5 parts water to
0.5 parts concentrate. Air is added to the water and
Foamstream® mix as it exits the lance to create the foam.
Figure 1 - M1200 (operator not included)
When the machine is switched on and operational, water is
pumped at 12 litres per minute and passes through the
boiler to be heated up to a minimum of 95 degrees
centigrade.
The M1200 has been designed to require no manual input or
adjustment. The PLC monitors the system pressure,
temperature and flow rate to ensure optimum performance
of the unit.
A pressure relief valve and over-temperature sensor ensure
that internal pressure and temperature will not exceed 35
bar or 120 degrees centigrade in the event of a system fault.
Operation of the M1200 is via the user interface at the front
of the unit (see section 6 for details).

Filters are fitted to the diesel, water and foam systems to
ensure supplies are kept clean and free from debris. These
needs to be checked daily (see section 5).
Access panels to the right and left-hand side of the M1200
can be opened with a key to allow access to filters, pipes
and hydraulic components. These panels can be easily
removed for maintenance purposes. Access to the
electronics is via a door on the front of the M1200 which can
be opened by a key.
The water tank (780 litres) can be either separate from the
unit or attached to it by bolts on the frame. There are two
hydraulic connections (water supply, water return), one
electrical connection (water sensor) and 13 bolts when the
tank is attached to the unit.
An automatic hose reel is located inside the unit to allow the
30 metres hose to be stowed safely when the M1200 is not
in use. The hose comes off the top of the reel and is
connected to the lance via a connector.
