C.
Ensure uniform coverage
To ensure proper coverage, the height of the boom nozzle should be about 20" from
the ground. The sprayer must be level with the ground to get this height.
The overall spray width is 80", but 1/2 or 40" of the overall spray pattern must be
overlapped to get equal coverage throughout the spray area.
Use the tables in Appendix A to determine what speed to drive your vehicle for the
desired application rate.
