INITIAL SYSTEM SET-UP
(LIQUID APPLICATIONS)
1) Fill tank with water only. (If positive displacement pump is used, open pressure relief valve, PRV).
2) Place MASTER ON/OFF switch to ON and BOOM ON/OFF switches to OFF.
3) Turn console POWER ON.
4) Put console in MANUAL mode using AUTO/MANUAL key.
5) Verify that Boom Widths, SPEED CAL, METER CAL, VALVE CAL, and RATE CALs have been
entered correctly into the Console. In SELF TEST mode, enter the normal sprayer operating speed.
6) Run pump at normal operating RPM.
7) If centrifugal pump is used, proceed with Step 8. If positive displacement pump is used, set pressure
relief valve (PRV) to 65 PSI [450 kPa].
8) Verify that boom valves operate and that no nozzles are plugged by operating the BOOM ON/OFF
switches.
9) Place all BOOM ON/OFF switches to ON.
10) Hold the FLOW CONTROL switch in INC position until pressure is at its maximum. This assures
that the motorized Control Valve is fully open. Verify maximum pressure and RATE. (Pressure
gauge is not supplied).
NOTE:A pressure gauge MUST be installed to properly monitor the system.
11) Adjust agitator line hand valve for desired agitation. Verify maximum pressure is still present.
12) Hold the FLOW CONTROL switch to DEC position until pressure is at its minimum. This assures
that the motorized Control Valve is fully closed. Verify minimum pressure and RATE. If minimum
pressure and RATE can not be obtained, consider by-pass plumbing system in Appendix 3.
