Applying Spray
Manual-Spray Operation
Important:
To ensure that your solution remains
well mixed, use the agitation feature whenever
you have solution in the tank. For agitation to
work, the pump must be on and the engine must
be running above an idle.
Note:
This procedure assumes that the pump is on;
refer to
Filling the Spray Tank (page 29)
.
1.
Set the master-boom switch to the O
FF
position.
2.
Adjust the throttle to the desired position to
spray.
3.
Drive to the spraying location.
4.
Lower the booms into position.
5.
Set the individual section switches, as needed,
to the O
N
positions.
6.
Use the application-rate switch to achieve the
desired spray pressure as indicated in the
nozzle-selection guide provided with the sprayer.
7.
Drive at the desired speed and then set the
master-boom switch to the O
N
position to begin
spraying.
Note:
When the tank is nearly empty, the
agitation may cause foaming in the tank. In
this case, turn the agitation switch to the
O
FF
position. Alternatively, you can use an
anti-foaming agent in the tank.
8.
When finished spraying, set the master-boom
switch to the O
FF
position to turn off all booms,
then set the pump switch to the O
FF
position.
Note:
Return the booms to the T
RANSPORT
position and drive the sprayer to the cleaning
area.
Important:
Always raise the booms until
they are completely supported in the
boom-transport cradle (forming the ‘X’
transport position) and the boom cylinders
are fully retracted whenever you move the
sprayer from a spraying area to another or
move to a storage or cleaning area.
Taking Proper Turf
Care Precautions while
Operating in Stationary
Modes
Important:
Under some conditions, heat from
the engine, radiator, and muffler can potentially
damage grass when operating the sprayer in a
stationary mode. Stationary modes include tank
agitation, hand spraying with a spray gun, or
using a walking boom.
Use the following precautions:
•
Avoid stationary spraying when conditions are
very hot and/or dry, as turf can be more stressed
during these periods.
•
Avoid parking on the turf while stationary spraying.
Park on a cart path whenever possible.
•
Minimize the amount of time the machine is left
running over any particular area of turf. Both time
and temperature affect how much the grass may
be damaged.
•
Set the engine speed as low as possible to achieve
the desired pressure and flow. This minimizes
the heat generated and the air velocity from the
cooling fan.
•
Allow heat to escape upward from the engine
compartment by raising the seat assemblies during
stationary operation rather than being forced out
under the vehicle.
Spraying Tips
•
Do not overlap areas that you have previously
sprayed.
•
Watch for plugged nozzles. Replace all worn or
damaged nozzles.
•
Use the master-boom switch to stop the spray
flow before stopping the sprayer. Once stopped,
use the engine-throttle control to hold the engine
speed up to keep the agitation running.
•
You will obtain best results if the sprayer is moving
when you turn the booms on.
