Software 4.03
Chapter 8 - Operations
Before operating, check connections related
to the Sprayer Control Assembly. The sensors
should be checked to ensure the console
receives uninterrupted signals.
IMPORTANT!
When work occurs around a sprayer/farm
chemical, wear protective clothing and eye
wear. Partially fill the sprayer tank with
water to flush the system. Perform an
inspection of the spray tips to ensure they
are spraying the correct pattern.
The Master Boom Switch should be in the
“Off” position. Perform the following steps
prior to application:
•
Ensure the tank shut-off valve is “open”.
•
Start the engine, engage the pump, and set
the RPM to the level to be used during
application.
•
Power on the 844-AB by pressing the
Program key.
•
Ensure the preset reference flow number
matches the tips being used.
•
Ensure the console recognizes simulated
speed. If the simulated speed has been
disabled due to movement of the sprayer,
press the Program and Plus keys to
activate the high simulated speed. Press
the Program and Minus keys to activate the
low simulated speed.

Press the Auto/Man key so the red light
indicates “MAN” mode.
•
Toggle the Master Boom Switch to “ON ”.
•
Adjust the pressure with the Plus and
Minus keys. The pressure should increase
with the Plus key and decrease with the
Minus key. During adjustment, the sprayer
will be active so spray tip performance can
be visually monitored.
•
Press the Auto/Man key so the red DE light
indicates “Auto” mode. The 844-AB should
adjust to the appropriate target application
rate for the simulated speed.
•
Press the Program and Plus keys
simultaneously during spraying to switch
the console to “high” simulated speed. The
844-AB should adjust to the appropriate
target application rate for the simulated
speed.
•
Press the Program and Minus keys
simultaneously during spraying to switch
the console to “low” simulated speed. The
844-AB should adjust to the appropriate
target application rate for the simulated
speed.
Toggle the Master Boom Switch to “OFF ” to
stop spraying.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the entire sprayer
be calibrated in preparation for operation
and to diagnose wear to spray tips. Worn
tips can contribute to costly chemical
waste and inaccurate spraying regardless
of sprayer control use. Calibration is
important to obtain the benefits associated
with computerized sprayer control.
