CALIBRATION
Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per
acre, gallons per 1000 square feet, or gallons per 100 square
feet. You will note that the tip chart above shows all three of
these rating systems.
Once you know how much you are going to spray then
determine (from the tip chart) the spraying pressure (PSI), and
the spraying speed (MPH).
Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered when
setting the sprayer. Do not spray on windy days. Protective
clothing must be worn in some cases. Be sure to read the
chemical label carefully.
If the vehicle does not have a speedometer, determining the
proper speed of the tractor can be done by marking off 100,
200 and 300 feet. The speed chart indicates the number of
seconds it takes to travel the distances. Using a watch or
stop watch for time, set the throttle and with a running start
travel the distances. Adjust the throttle until you travel the
distances in the number of seconds indicated by the speed
chart. Once you have reached the throttle setting needed,
mark the throttle location so you can stop and go again (re-
turning to the same speed).
Add water to the tank and drive to the starting place for spray-
ing. When you are ready to spray, turn the boom valve to the
“on” position. This will start solution spraying from the tips.
The pressure will decrease slightly when the boom is
spraying. Adjust the spraying pressure by operating the by-
pass valve.
After testing, add water and chemical to the tank. Adjust the
pressure and spray as you did in the testing procedure.
AFTER SPRAYING
After use fill the sprayer part way with water, start the sprayer
and allow clear water to be pumped through the plumbing
system and out through the spray nozzles.
Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use a
chemical neutralizer such as Nutra-Sol or equivalent and
repeat cleaning instructions above. Flush the entire sprayer
with the neutralizing agent. Follow the chemical manufactur-
ers disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.
Remove tips from the boom. Wash tips thoroughly with water
or cleaning solution (appropriate for chemical used). Blow out
orifice, clean and dry. If orifice remains clogged, clean it with
a fine bristle (not wire) brush, or with a toothpick. Do not
damage the orifice. Water rinse and dry tips before storing.
WINTER STORAGE
Drain all water out of sprayer paying special attention to pump,
handgun & valve. These items are especially prone to dam-
age from chemicals and freezing weather.
The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pumping
a solution of RV anti-freeze through the entire plumbing.
Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of the
sprayer.
