COMMANDER OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Nozzle Selection
Correct selection of nozzle and calibration of the sprayer are critical to achieve accurate and cost effective use of farm
crop protection products.
Your HARDI
®
sprayer has been supplied with 110
°
flat spray Red ISO Color Tips™ that will apply approximately 20
U.S. GPA at 30 PSI and 5 MPH.
The 110
°
flat spray nozzle was chosen rather than the 80 degree nozzle for two reasons: 1- It may be used at a lower
minimum height which reduces the risk of wind drift; 2- it's greater overlap permits better uniformity of spray distribution,
particularly if boom height varies on rough ground. Normal boom height setting with 110
°
nozzles is 18" to 20" above
the crop or weeds, whichever is taller.
Should you wish a different application rate or different type of nozzle, HARDI
®
manufactures a nozzle for virtually every
need.
IMPORTANT:
Always consult your chemical supplier for recommended chemical rate and water
application rate. Always wear protective gloves when handling nozzles.
The following tables show what types of spray nozzles are suitable for different applications. It is important to use the
correct nozzle.
