SYSTEM OPERATION
CHARGING THE FORCE

EVO INJECTION SYSTEM
Both the carrier and injection systems must be charged with chemical to ensure even coverage during a field
operation. The system must be charged during the initial system start up after installation or when the system is
pulled out of storage.
NOTE: Be sure to flush and rinse the system of antifreeze when the system has been in winter storage.
Charge the carrier system before performing the following procedure.
If the chemical is depleted, the system will need to be recharged before resuming field application.
Replacement Colder quick couplers must be obtained from Syngenta and are not available from
Raven.Couplers that are compatible with Force
®
Evo and can be identified with the green latch
button.

3. Perform a pump priming procedure. Be sure that the 3-way valve is set to direct chemical to the point of
injection. Refer to the Raven Sidekick Pro™ or Sidekick Pro ISO manual for details on priming the injection
pump.
4. Repeat the priming procedure two more times to draw chemical from the connected boxes and eliminate air
pockets in the cabinet manifold.
5. Perform a pump calibration test to verify pump operation. Refer to the Raven Sidekick Pro™ or Sidekick Pro ISO
manual for details on performing a calibration with the closed calibration system.
6. If the pump passes the calibration test, proceed to the Charging the Carrier Line with Injected Chemical section
on page 16 to complete the chemical charging process and prepare the system for field operations.
