If the fluid level in the graduated catch container
is 7.4 ml (1/4 fl oz) more or less than the nozzle
volume in the 15-second catch test table,
perform 1 of the following:
•
Perform a flow calibration, or replace worn
nozzles and perform a flow calibration;
refer to the flow calibration procedure in the
Software Guide
for the Multi Pro 5800-D and
5800-G turf sprayer with ExcelaRate spray
system.
•
Calibrate the agitation bypass valve, or
replace worn nozzles and calibrate the
agitation bypass valve; refer to
the Agitation-Bypass Valve (page 29)
.
Positioning the Spray
Sections
The boom-section lift switches on the sprayer control
panel allows you to move the outer spray sections
between transport position and spray position without
leaving the operator's seat. Whenever possible, stop
the machine before changing spray section positions.
Changing the Spray Section
Position
Perform the following steps to move the outer spray
sections to the
SPRAY
position:
1.
Park the machine on a level surface.
2.
Use the boom-section lift switches to lower the
outer sections.
Note:
Wait until the outer spray sections reach
the full, extended spray position.
Complete the sprayer job, then perform the following
steps to retract the outer spray sections into the
transport position:
Important:
If your machine has the Drift
Reduction Boom Shroud Kit, the Ultra Sonic
Boom Leveling Kit installed, or both move the
outer spray sections to the transport position one
at a time.
Moving the both outer spray sections at the same
time with the shroud kit or leveling kit installed
may damage the shrouds, the sensors, or both.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface.
2.
Use the boom-section lift switches to raise the
outer spray sections, until they have moved
completely into boom-section transport cradles
forming the “X” transport position, and the lift
cylinders are fully retracted.
Important:
Release the boom-section lift
switch(es) once the outer spray sections
have reached the desired position. Running
the actuators against the mechanical stops
may damage the lift cylinders and/or other
hydraulic components.

“X” transport position
Important:
To prevent damage to the lift cylinder,
make sure that the actuators are fully retracted
before transporting the machine.
Using the Boom-Section Transport
Cradle
The sprayer is equipped with boom-section transport
cradles that have a unique feature. In the event
the spray section accidentally contacts with a low
overhead object while in the transport position, you
can push the spray section(s) out of the transport
cradles. If this occurs, the spray sections come to
rest in a near horizontal position to the rear of the
machine. While this movement will not damage the
spray sections, they should be immediately positioned
into the transport cradle.
Important:
The spray sections can be damaged
by transporting them in any position other
than the “X” transport position using the boom
transport cradle.
