CHARGING THE CARRIER LINE WITH INJECTED CHEMICAL
Review the following procedure once the injection pump is primed and successfully calibrated to prime the carrier
lines with injected chemical.
1. Measure and record the hose length between the injection pump outlet and the point of injection. Refer to
Table 1, “Calculating Hose Volume,” below and calculate the volume of chemical necessary for the injection
system hose.
TABLE 1. Calculating Hose Volume
NOTE: 1 gallon equals 128 oz [0.379 dL].
2. On the control console, enter a value of zero for the volume tally of injected chemical product.
3. Place the injection pump in automatic control mode and enter a self test speed of 6 mph [9 km/h].
4. Monitor the volume tally for the injected chemical. When the necessary volume required for the injection
plumbing has been dispensed through the pump, set the pump control mode back to off.
5. Measure the hose length from the point of injection to the section tips. To prime the carrier lines with injected
chemical to all sections, record the longest hose length and calculate the volume of chemical necessary for the
carrier lines.
6. Toggle the master switch and all section switches to the on position and monitor the carrier volume until the
calculated volume has been dispensed through the carrier product system.
7. The system should now be fully charged with injected chemical.

EVO SYSTEM OPERATION
When the chemical boxes are empty, the system will develop a higher than normal vacuum pressure. When this
occurs, the control console will display a vacuum error.
NOTE: A vacuum error may also occur if the strainer is plugged or a chemical flow restriction has occurred.
Refer to the Raven Sidekick Pro™, Sidekick Pro ISO, or Sidekick PRO ICD manuals for details on using the specific
control console to control the injection system. Review the console specific operation manual for details on setting
up and controlling a liquid carrier during field operations.
