Agitation circuit
When the agitation switch is ON, the switch light is illumi-
nated, the agitation icon appears on the InfoCenter dis-
play and the agitation control valve is opened. This open
valve directs spray system flow to four (4) agitation
nozzles on the left side of the spray tank. The agitation
nozzles direct spray product back into the lower portion
of the tank to agitate or stir the contents of the tank.
When the agitation switch is OFF, the agitation control
valve is closed so no flow is directed to the tank agitation
nozzles. The agitation valve includes an LED to indicate
the current valve position (red = closed, green = open).
A manually adjustable agitation bypass valve is incorpo-
rated into the agitation control valve. Proper adjustment
of the agitation bypass valve prevents system pressure
changes when the agitation valve is switched ON/OFF
while spraying. Flow from the agitation bypass valve is
directed back to the suction side of the spray pump (agi-
tation bypass).
A manually adjustable agitation throttle valve restricts
the flow to the agitation nozzles. The valve allows con-
trolling the spray system pressure at the agitation noz-
zles when larger application rates are used.
Spray boom circuit
The system includes an in−line flow meter to measure
actual spray product flow to the boom control valves.
The flow meter is positioned directly before the boom
control valves.
The individual boom control switches (left, center, right)
work together with the master boom switch to control the
boom section valves. An open boom section valve di-
rects spray system flow to the spray nozzles located on
that boom section. When a boom section valve is
closed, no spray system flow is available to that spray
boom section. Each boom section valve includes an
LED to indicate the current valve position (red = closed,
green = open).
Manually adjustable boom bypass valves are incorpo-
rated into each of the boom control valves. Proper ad-
justment of the boom bypass valves prevent system
pressure changes when one of boom section valves is
switched ON/OFF while spraying in manual mode. Flow
from the boom bypass valves is directed back to the
spray tank (boom bypass). A boom section bypass
shut−off valve is used to prevent spray product from by-
passing when spraying in automatic application rate
mode.
IMPORTANT: The boom section bypass shut−off
valve must be closed during automatic application
rate mode operation for the spray system to func-
tion accurately.
