Setting Individual Boom Width
In order to accurately measure the number of gallons applied
per acre it is important to determine the correct “working”
width. The “working” width is the width of ground being
affected by any operation. This should be measured to the
nearest inch (millimeter).

NOTE: To verify which material units mode you are in, refer
to the Standard Factory-Loaded Calibration Values chart
on page 32.
Working Width
The console will remain in calibration mode, with the
RED warning light flashing, until you exit calibration or
turn off power.
Once in calibration mode, you may change any one, all or
none of the values, in any order.* To select a calibration
position, simply turn the rotary selector to the desired
position. Calibration positions are to the outside of the
rotary positions, in white lettering with red outlined boxes.
All values are adjusted using the “+” and “-” but tons on the
front panel.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Test speed must be last.
Your “working” width will vary depending on the type of
equipment you are using and the method of application.
For example, if you are broadcast applying chemicals your
“working” width will be the number of nozzles times the
nozzle spacing in inches (meters). For example, if you have 20
nozzles spaced at 20 inches, the working width is 400 inches.
