Abstract
A crop sprayer includes a main frame. A product tank and a rinse tank are supported by the main frame. A battery is also supported by the main frame. A framework is supported by the main frame that defines a routing space. A control panel is attached to the framework that defines at least a first panel opening, a second panel opening, and a third panel opening. A first fluid line is connected between a first fluid outlet and the product tank. The first fluid line extends through the routing space and the first panel opening. A second fluid line is connected between the second fluid outlet and the rinse tank. The second fluid line extends through the routing space and the second panel opening. A first electrical switch is supported by the framework adjacent to the third opening. Electrical wiring extends between the first electrical switch and the battery, the electrical wiring also extending through the routing space.
