INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Perform the following procedure to prepare fir the Hawkeye™ nozzle control installation.
1. Rinse and fill the tank with clean water.
2. Move the equipment to an open area suitable for testing application system operation and rinsing the boom
plumbing.
3. Unfold the boom and enable the application control system. Verify that all control hardware (e.g. control valves,
section valves, etc.) and spray tips function as expected.
4. Operate the system until all chemicals are rinsed from the boom supply lines.
5. Disable the application control system and de-pressurize the boom.
6. Replace existing carrier line strainer(s) with an 80 mesh strainer. An 80 mesh (or finer) strainer is required for
use with the Hawkeye nozzle control system.
7. If turret style nozzle bodies are installed on the implement, rotate the turret to an open spray position, if
available. If an open spray position is not available, or for nozzle bodies without a turret, remove the spray tips
from the boom and set aside for later use.
8. Enable the application control system and run clean water for at least 20 seconds to rinse any remaining debris
from the boom plumbing and nozzle bodies.
9. Remove the cap and diaphragm from the nozzle bodies.
