Important:
Before calibrating the sprayer system
used on the HDX-Auto model, fill the sprayer
tank as required with clean water and operate the
machine while spraying at 2.75 bar (40 psi) or
greater for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Note:
Before using the sprayer for the first time, if
you change the nozzles, or as needed, calibrate the
sprayer flow, speed, and section bypass.
1.
Fill the spray tank with clean water.
Note:
Ensure that there is enough water in
the tank to complete each of the calibration
procedures.
2.
Lower the left and right boom sections.
3.

Calibrating the Sprayer Flow
Operator supplied equipment:
Stopwatch capable
of measuring to ± 1/10 second and a container
graduated in 50 ml (1 fl oz) increments.
Note:
Calibrating the sprayer flow for
machines
without a throttle lock
requires 2 people.
Preparing the Sprayer System
1.
Set the transmission as follows:
•
For HD-Series Models with a
manual
transmission
—shift the transmission to the
