Based on the minimum overlap required to obtain
uniform distribution with 120° tips and 40” spacing.
Suggested Minimum Spray Height: 18”-20” above what is
being sprayed (to plant, not ground).
Optimum Spray Height: 39”
Wide angle spray nozzle height is influenced by nozzle
orientation. The critical factor is to achieve a minimum
30% overlap.
Excellent spray distribution for uniform coverage
along the boom.
Nozzle design incorporates a pre-orifice to
produce larger droplets for less drift.

Detail
For the safest and most efficient chemical application, you will need to calibrate your sprayer using the tip and speed charts. Once you have deter-
mined the proper speed and pressure settings (this sprayer will spray at the 30 PSI range from the chart below), you will need to consult your chemical
label for the amount of chemical to be added to the tank. Read the entire label. Use only according to label directions.
Calibration
Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per acre, gallons per 1000 square feet or gallons per 100 square feet. You will note that the tip
chart shows 3 of these rating systems. Once you know how much you are going to spray, then determine (from the tip chart) the spraying pressure (30
PSI), and the spraying speed (MPH).
Determining the proper speed of the pulling vehicle can be done by marking off 100, 200 & 300 feet. The speed chart indicates the number of seconds
it takes to travel the distances. Set the throttle and with a running start, travel the distances. Adjust the throttle until you travel the distances in the num-
ber of seconds indicated by the speed chart. Once you have reached the throttle setting needed, mark the throttle location so you can stop and go
again, returning to the same speed.
Add water and proper amount of chemical to the tank and drive to the starting place for spraying.
