HARDI ® MUSTANG 3500 OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Pre-field System Checkout
Before beginning actual spraying, perform the following “pre-field”
procedure to ensure that your valve settings, nozzle selection and
desired speed range will allow the HARDI
®
MUSTANG 3500 to provide
the required application control. This procedure should be repeated for
each new nozzle selection and/or application rate. By performing all of
the steps listed below, you are setting up your system to allow the
HARDI
®
MUSTANG 3500 to perform at optimum levels.
NOTE: Most nozzles will maintain a good pattern over a maximum
speed range of two to one. (For example, if your maximum speed is 12,
your minimum speed shouldn’t go below 6.)
Make sure you fill your sprayer tank with clean water. DO NOT use
chemicals until the entire system is completely checked out and
operating properly.
The MASTER switch reference in this procedure is the lower right
switch labeled AUTO/MAN/HOLD.
1. Start vehicle and bring pump up to normal operating RPM. Make
sure pressure does not exceed safe operating limits for your
system.
2. Put the master switch in HOLD. Turn rotary switch to the SPEED
position. Press the TEST button for three seconds. Use ADJUST
switch to enter maximum application speed. The top display will
read “TEST” and CAL will flash in the lower left display indicating
TEST SPEED mode.
3. Put the master switch in “MAN” control mode; turn all active
boom switches ON.
4. Turn rotary switch to FLOW PER MINUTE and hold ADJUST switch
in the "+" position until application rate stops increasing. For
approximately 30 seconds. Display should read higher than the
desired application rate.
