CAUTION
The above rates are examples of typical application rates found on their
respective formulation labels. Refer to the label of your formulation to determine
the actual application rate before calibrating your machine to any of the above
flow rates.
Once the flow ability of the formulation to be sprayed has been determined, and the
formulation pump has been calibrated, select one of the three tables (see next page)
that is closest to the flow ability of the formulation to be sprayed (34, 40 or 88 seconds).
Then match the closest flow rate in the left hand column with the flow rate specified on
the formulation label. A boom pressure can then be selected that will produce a particle
size in accordance with the formulation label. Remember, with a constant flow rate
supplied to the nozzle system, increasing nozzle boom pressure will decrease particle
size.
