SYNCROFLOW SYSTEM
When equipped, the Curtis Syncroflow System allows you to dispense formulation at
either a constant flow (“manual”) regardless of vehicle speed, or a variable flow
("syncroflow") which is correlated to vary proportionately with vehicle speeds from 0
- 20 mph (0-32 km/h). Either mode can be actuated by a toggle switch located on
the side of the pump control box.
When the syncroflow mode is actuated, electronic pulses are fed from the ground
speed sensor (either a GPS or Radar Sensor depending on model) to the
formulation pump. As the vehicle moves faster or slower these pulses increase or
decrease in frequency which in turn cause the formulation output pump to increase
or decrease the fluid flow.
SPRAYING - SYNCROFLOW
1. Place the formulation to be used in the formulation container.
CAUTION
Carefully read the formulation label for safety precautions and app l ication rate.
2. Ensure that all switches on the remote control box are in the OFF position.
3. Place the MANUAL - SYNCROFLOW toggle switch which is located on the
formulation pump control box into the Syncroflow position.
4. If the required Output rate is 0.3 to 1.8 ounces per minute (9 ml/min to
54 ml/min), contact the factory to set the rate range connections in the chassis
interface box to the LOW position, then place the Function Select switch
remote control box in either position 1 or 3 as appropriate. If the required Output
rate is 1.8 to 18 ounces per minute (standard factory setting in the pump control
box), place the Rate Range switch in the HIGH position and the Function Select
switch in position 2 or 4 as appropriate.
5. Place the MACHINE switch on the remote control box in the ON position.
6. Place the RUN-STOP (ON-OFF) switch located on the engine in the RUN (ON)
position and start the engine (see STARTING ENGINE section).
