7.0 - TIP SELECTION
7.1 - Tip Selection and Capacities
It is important to adhere to the following rules:
1.
Always use 110° spray angle tips, maintain a minimum boom height of 21”, with 24” the preferred height above
the grass. However if 80° spray angle tips are used, maintain the boom height at 36” or greater.
2.
Never use Air Induction (AI) spray tips.
•
The SharpShooter with Rate Sync pulsing tends to squirt liquid out the air holes of the AI tips.
•
While AI tips are a good solution to the drift control challenges of rate controller spraying, the need for them is
offset by the advancement of SharpShooter with Rate Sync and non-AI pre-orifice tips.
3.
For turf spraying with rates between 1.0 and 2.5 gal/1000sf, Wilger SR110-10 and MR110-10 tips are provided.
The SR tips are installed on the non-boosted row of nozzles. The MR tips are installed on the boosted row of
nozzles (toward the rear of the machine).
4.
For turf spraying where rates are consistently less than 1.0 gal/1000sf (43 GPA), it is recommended that the Wilger
SR110-06 tips should replace the SR110-10 tips. This allows for a larger number of droplets for the same rate for
a more thorough coverage.
5.
For turf spraying where rates are consistently more than 2.0 gal/1000sf (86 GPA), it is recommended that Wilger
MR110-125 replace the MR110-10 tips on the boosted row of nozzles. This allows a larger combined effective
orifice to better utilize the full pump capacity of the machine at the top end speeds.
