Setting the Ground Speed
• The Venture has a maximum speed of 8 mph. However,
the application speed of the machine should be adjusted
to 5 mph when spreading and spraying.
• To adjust the ground speed, the stationary handlebar
can be moved so that it limits the travel of the motion
control levers to limit the overall machine speed.
• To adjust the stationary handlebar, the rubber knobs
on each side of the machine should be loosened so that
the handlebar can be rotated forward or back. Once the
handlebar is in the correct location, the rubber knobs can
be retightened to lock the handlebar in place.
• The stationary handlebar should be adjusted so that
the machine travels 73’ in 10 seconds. This rate of travel
corresponds to a ground speed of 5 mph.
• Operating the machine at a higher or lower speed when
applying products can greatly alter the application rate of
both granular and spray products.
Operating the Sprayer
• Slowly squeeze the motion control levers towards the
stationary handlebar to start the machine rolling forward.
• Activate the spray system by either activating the pump
switch on the console or the intermittent pump switch on
the foot platform.
• To stop the spraying operation, deactivate the spray
switches.
