INTRODUCTION TO THE
FORCE
®
EVO INJECTION
SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The Force
®
EVO injection system is designed for use on planting and seeding implements with a liquid fertilizer
application delivery system and a carrier product tank already installed. Carrier rate control is not included with the
Force
®
EVO Injection system, but is available as an optional feature.
NOTE: Contact a local Raven dealer for more information about adding carrier rate control to your existing
Force
®
Evo injection system.
The Force
®
Evo injection system has an output range of 1 to 40 oz./min [0.3 to 11.8 dL/min]. The system must be
operated within this range to ensure proper operation of the injection pump and application of injected products.
To help ensure that the minimum injection rate is achieved, the smallest section or implement width for use with
Force
®
Evo injection system should not be below 8 row units.
NOTE: Refer to the Injection Rate Calculations section on page 12 for information on verifying the pump
output required for an operation.
CARE AND USE
Proper care and maintenance is critical to ensure proper operation of the Force
®
Evo injection system. Please
review and perform the following maintenance items as appropriate to help ensure the best performance and
longest service life of the Force
®
Evo injection system:
IMPORTANT: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with the Force
®
Evo injection
system. Review proper chemical handling, storage and disposal practices with your chemical provider
before performing system maintenance and refer to the chemical label as necessary when working with
agricultural chemicals.
• Flush and winterize the carrier product lines and injection system at the end of the season or when storing the
implement for periods longer than 3 months.
IMPORTANT: Do not use water to flush the injection pump. Use only RV anti-freeze when flushing or winterizing
the injection system. Using water can have an adverse affect on the chemical.
