INTRODUCTION
CARE AND USE
Always follow equipment manufacturer’s recommended maintenance procedures for storing equipment. Perform
the following maintenance procedures before storing equipment with the control system:
1. Empty product from the chemical supply tank and flush the application system with water or an approved tank
cleaner following the machine manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
NOTE: A tank cleaner compatible with Viton™ seal materials is recommended for use with the AIM
Command FLEX™ II NCVs.
2. Remove hardened chemical residues or build up by flushing the system with soap and water.
3. Prime the system plumbing with a 50% water and automotive antifreeze mixture to prevent freezing of NCV
components. Freezing can result in damage to plumbing components on the system.
Refer to Appendix C, Maintenance Schedule and Replacement Parts , for additional assistance with maintaining the
AIM Command FLEX™ II nozzle control valves.
UPDATES
NOTE: It may be necessary to reset or recalibrate the system after the update is complete. Prior to
performing a software update, record all settings in the Calibration Reference Sheet section on page v.
Each RCM - Sprayer update may include a new NCV software package which will update NCVs
connected to the system. If an NCV is replaced, the replacement NCV may cause a system
notification that NCV software is mismatched or out-of-date and requires an update. Individual NCVs
may be updated via the same process in the RCM - Sprayer.
The Raven Service Tool (P/N 117-0171-464) or CNHi Electronic Service Tool (EST) and a laptop PC (Windows 7 or
newer) are required to update the RCM - Sprayer ECU. Refer to the Raven Service Tool Operation Manual (P/N
016-5030-022) for additional assistance with updating the RCM - Sprayer.
Refer to NCV Updates section on page 84, for additional assistance with performing device updates.
