Example:
For a walking speed of 3.2 kph,
product application rate 10 litres per
hectare, spray width of 60cm:
3.2 x 10 x 60 / 120 = 16 ml/30
seconds
The product label will give a guide
as to the best applicator settings
to be used, in order to achieve the
correct
flow rate
, as determined
by the above formula. However,
the flow rate
must
be measured
using the
Calibration Cup
(having
measured
walking speed
and
spray
width
) and the applicator adjusted
as necessary, to achieve the
approved application rate.
Connecting the disc
Once calibration is complete,
connect the disc to the head of the
lance by placing it onto the spindle
and pushing it until secure.
