Run a speed test in the area to be sprayed. The sprayer must be up to speed before starting the test run. To determine
the speed mark off a distance as found on one of the tables. Push the sprayer over this distance carefully noting and
recording the time to cover the distance. The speed traveled can be found for the specific distance and time to travel
using the tables below.
After the nozzles have been individually checked and matched, the sprayer should be calibrated to determine the correct
speed for the desired application volume.
Cleaning
Sprayers need to be cleaned to prevent corrosion and cross contamination of chemicals. Trace amounts of one chemical
can react with another or carry over to the next spraying and cause crop damage, especially with pesticides. Long
exposures with even small amounts of some chemicals can damage sprayer components either by corrosion or gum
deposits. If you spray crops that are very susceptible to injury from the last chemical used (ie vegetables, turf, and
ornamentals) clean the unit especially well.
Always try to end the day with an empty tank; avoid contamination of water supplies and injury to plants or animals. Do
not make puddles that might be accessible to children, pets, farm animals, or wildlife. Flush with clean water preferably
after each day's operation. If you plan to use the same material over several days most chemicals may be kept in the
tank overnight, labels on the chemical usually indicates which may not. Rinse the outside of the sprayer. Surfactants
combined with chemicals, when they are compatible, will provide some cleaning action in the sprayer.
Some chemical combinations (especially if oil is used) may produce a putty type paste (buttering out) in the sprayer tank
and components; flushing with water after each load may prevent an accumulation. If water alone does not dissolve and
remove the buildup, add solvent, kerosene, or other low flammable solvent; allow paste to dissolve, then agitate and
flush. Next, flush with detergent and finally with clean water. Check with your chemical agent.
Whenever pesticides are changed, or before sprayer storage, clean sprayers thoroughly with a cleaning solution. The
solution used depends on the chemical to be removed from the sprayer. Check the chemical label for cleaning
instructions.
First flush with water, then add the cleaning solution to the tank and thoroughly agitate before flushing. Always flush with
clean water to remove the cleaning solution. Remove nozzle tips and screens; clean them in a strong detergent solution
or kerosene, using a soft brush such as an old toothbrush. Never use a metal probe to clean the orifice of a spray tip!

Note: Tip pressure is usually less than the pressure at the pump. Losses occur in valves, hoses,
etc. Always check the flow by the above calibration method.
