Sprayer Operation
Operating Pointers
Proceed to Spray
Once the chemical mixture is in the tank,
proceed to spray:
1 Adjust the pressure to the correct
operating pressure by adjusting
pressure (up or down) according
to the instructions of the Controller.
2 Turn spray booms ON and OFF as
required to spray according to the
instructions of the controller fi tted.
Refer to pages 2.21 - 2.24 for spray
controller operating instructions, &
pages 3.4 - 3.6 for foam marker
operating instructions.
Operating Pointers
While spraying, continually observe that:
1 Engine and PTO speed are correct.
2 Correct operating pressure is being
maintained.
3 Ground speed is correct and within
the operating range of the nozzles
and application rates selected.
Operating Meth od ol o gy for
Broadacre Spraying
It is always preferable to spray travelling
across the wind direction.
This minimises any drift effect caused by
the wind especially with fl at fan nozzles
because the wind only hits the narrow end
of the pattern rather than the full face of
the fan spray.
It also maximises the effect of the wind
forcing droplets downwards into contact
with the target.
Travelling with the wind increases the
tendency of spray droplets to fl oat away
from the target, and travelling against the
wind effectively multiplies the force of the
wind (depending on speeds) increasing
drift and reducing target contact.
Running a diaphragm pump faster than specifi ed
will not improve performance, but will damage
and wear out moving parts.
Warranty will be made void by speeds in excess
of those indicated on the pump name plate.
