Spray Section Control Operation 

MANUAL RATE CONTROL OR FLUSH MODE 

 

Manual rate or flush function can be used to clean the spray lines or test nozzle operation. This function 
can also be helpful if the speed input is damaged or you need a “limp home” mode until repairs on the 
sprayer can be made.  

This assumes that there is power to the UniPOD, control valve and section valves. 

 

1.

 

Make sure the Manual Control Widget is on any tile (either single tile or joined tile). 
 

2.

 

Select the Play button (liquid should start flowing). 

 

Master and sections are now on. 
 

3.

 

Use the Plus/ Minus buttons to manually adjust the rate or flush individual sections. 

 

Individual sections can also be turned on/ off. 

 

For instant L/Min ensure one tile has been selected to display this value.
