ASSEMBLY
The meanings of symbols used in the illustrations are as follows:

the sprayer.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten. Only hand tighten the pressure
gauge to the sprayer valve.
CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER
When spraying with boom, sprayer must be calibrated to ensure proper
spray coverage and to combat over-application or under-application.
The calibration process consists of three steps:
1. Calculate speed of tractor.
2. Determine nozzle size and consult calibration chart for desired or
instructed gallon per acre (GPA).
3. Set pressure using relief valve.
CALCULATING THE SPEED
It is important to determine what speed the tractor will be traveling
while spraying. Even if tractor has a speedometer, it is still
recommended that speed be checked for accuracy. Perform the
following steps to determine speed:
1. Measure a 200 or 300 foot distance on a field or surface similar to
where sprayer will be used.
2. Drive tractor with half-full sprayer across measured distance at
a constant and comfortable speed for spraying. There can be no
changes in speed while measuring time.
3. Determine amount of time, in seconds, it takes to travel the
measured distance.
4. Speed can be determined by entering data into the following
equation:
speed (mph) = (distance (ft) x 60) / (time (sec) x 88) or by
consulting the following table.
