VERIFYING CALIBRATION
To test your system, fill the solution tanks with clean water. Do not add chemicals until calibration is com-
pleted!
With brakes applied, start the engine of the sprayer; throttle the engine to operating speed and remain
parked. Turn on the Raven console. Turn on the work mode switch. Turn on the solution tank valve located on
the right hand console. Turn on the main solution switch located on the hydrostatic lever. Turn on all boom
section solution switches. Make sure there are no leaks and that all nozzles are spraying a desirable pattern.
Continue spraying in the stationary position for at least 10 minutes for proper warm up of the sprayer and its
system.
Once the system has had an adequate warm up period, you will need to perform a “self test” to simulate
speed although the machine will remain stationary. (See the next page on quick instruction for performing a
“self test”) Collect one nozzle’s spray for one minute in an adequately sized and marked container.
Verify that the collection equals or is close to the gallons per minute for the nozzle, pressure, speed, gal-
lons per acre, and spacing that you are using.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT ADD CHEMICALS UNTIL
CALIBRATION IS COMPLETED!
