FIELD OPERATION
FIELD OPERATION 3PT Sprayer 973PT Page 64
Operation Procedure
Follow this procedure when using the
sprayer:
1. Attach the Sprayer to the machine
(see ATTACHING and DETACHING .)
2. Review and follow the pre-operation
checklist (see Pre-Operation
Checklist .)
3. Review the location and function of
all controls (see CONTROLS .)
4. Read and follow chemical
manufacturers' instructions.
5. Calibrate the sprayer so you know
exactly how much chemical is being
applied (see SPRAYER
CALIBRATION .) The application of
excess chemicals, even in small
amounts, can have detrimental
effects. Recalibration at the start of
the season or when changing
chemicals is a must.
6. Transport the sprayer to the working
area (see TRANSPORTING .)
7. Convert into field position (see
Unfolding/Extending the Boom .)
8. See ADJUST GROUND SPEED .
9. Place the Master Boom switch in the
OFF position and the appropriate
Boom switches in the ON position.
10. Turn the booms ON with the Boom
Master switch as the nozzles pass
over the edge of the already sprayed
headland and come to the area to be
sprayed.
11. Use the individual boom switches as
appropriate when finishing a field.
12. When completing a pass and
approaching the sprayed headland,
maintain the tractor RPM and ground
speed until the nozzles have covered
all the plants. This will ensure a
consistent application rate at the
ends of the field.
Boom Tilt
Each side of the boom is equipped with a tilt
cylinder that allows the operator to tilt the
individual boom up at the ends of the field or
whenever required to clear obstacles.
Boom Breakaway
Each boom is designed with a break-away
hinge between the outer booms and the
boom extension (breakaway.) Each of these
hinges will “break away” when the boom
strikes an obstruction to prevent damaging
the boom.
