14.11 Metering the field sprayer
Test the field sprayer by metering

before the start of the season.

each time the nozzles are changed.

to check the setting information in the spray tables.

in the case of deviations between the actual and required
application rate [l/ha].
Observed deviations between the actual and required application rate
[l/ha] can be caused by:

the difference between the actual forward speed and that indi-
cated on the tractor meter and/or

natural wear to the spraying nozzles.
Accessories required for metering:
(1) Quick-check cup
(2) Stopwatch
Determining the actual application rate while stationary via the individual nozzle output
Determine the nozzle output on at least 3 different nozzles. To do so,
check one nozzle on the left and right boom section respectively, and
one in the middle of the sprayer boom, as follows.
1. Control terminal:
1.1 Enter the value for the required application rate on the con-
trol terminal.
1.4 Enter simulated speed.
2. Fill the spray liquid tank with water (approx. 1000 l).
3. Switch on the agitator.
4. Switch on the sprayer and check that all of the nozzles work
properly.
5. Determine the individual nozzle output [l/min] on several noz-
zles.
To do so, hold the quick-check cup for exactly 30 seconds under
a nozzle.
6. Switch off spraying.
7. Determine the average individual nozzle output [l/ha].

Using the table on the quick-check cup.

By calculation.

Using the spray table.
