Calibrate the Injection Pump
Prior to starting a chemical injection application, verify that the pump is properly calibrated and operational by
performing a pump calibration.
1. Ensure the pump is primed as described in the Prime the Injection Pump section on page 31 before
proceeding with the calibration process.
2. Remove the cover from the injection pump calibrator.
3. Press the calibrator all the way down and replace the calibrator cover.

4. Verify the following conditions are present:
a. Boom pressure less than 12 PSI [83 kPa]
b. Console speed must be less than 0.7 MPH [1.1 km/h]
c. Product 1 must be toggled off on the control console
d. Vacuum pressure for the injected product must be less than 5.5 PSI [37.92 kPa]
e. Injection product must be toggled off on the control console
f. Toggle the master switch and at least one boom section on
5. On the control console, navigate to the Injection Diagnostics display and begin the pump calibration. Refer
to Chapter 5, Setting Application Mode and Injection Diagnostics and the console specific section details to
locate the Injection Diagnostics display.
6. Begin the calibration process on the control console. The pump will proceed to run until the console detects
1 oz. [0.3 dL] of chemical has been passed through the pump and the console displays a “CAL complete”
message.
Note: To stop calibration while in progress, at any time pass the metal object past the calibration sensor.
If the console displays an error message during the priming process, verify that the conditions
listed in step 4 are present. If the problem continues, see Chapter 7, Troubleshooting, to resolve
issues during the pump calibration process.
After the initial calibration has been completed, the injection pump calibration process may be
re-initiated by passing a metal object past the integrated calibration sensor twice. Use an object
such as a screw driver or spare bolt.
