2.7 CALIBRATION OF SPRAYER SYSTEM
1. CHOOSE AND MEASURE OFF one of the following three xed distances:
(LONGER DISTANCES PRODUCE MORE ACCURATE RESULTS).
A. 1/4 mile = 1320 feet
B. 1/2 mile = 2640 feet
C. 1 mile = 5280 feet
2. COMPLETELY FILL the sprayer tank or tanks.
3. SHUT OFF OPTIONAL END NOZZLES
4. SPRAY THE CHOSEN DISTANCE using:
A. Desired ground speed within factory recommended range of 5 to 8 miles per hour (mph).
B. Desired operating pressure.
5. MEASURE the gallons of water required to completely rell the sprayer tank.
6. CALCULATE APPLICATION RATE using correct formula for measured distance chosen:
A. For 1/4 mile:
U.S. Gallons per acre = Measured Gallons of Water x 33
Actual Spraying Width (Feet)
B. For 1/2 mile:
U.S. Gallons per Acre = Measured Gallons of Water x 16.5
Actual Spraying Width (Feet)
