SECTION 3 - SPRAYER OPERATION
4. Alternate each BOOM ON/OFF switch to on and verify that respective boom ball valve operates and
that all nozzles on that section are spraying including end nozzle, if equipped.
5. With all BOOM ON/OFF switches to on, hold the manual pressure adjust switch one way and then the
other to learn maximum and minimum spray pressures, with and without agitation. The regulator
valve is fully closed when the pressure is at its lowest reading. The motorized regulator valve rotates
slowly clockwise or counter clockwise depending on switch position and could take up to 90 seconds
to go from fully open to fully closed position.
6. Adjust manual agitator control valve.
a. Partially close agitator control valve to increase maximum operating pressure.
b. Under most spraying conditions, agitator control should be fully open. If operator wishes to
empty tank completely the agitator should be closed on last spray pass.
7. If maximum operating pressure is still too low, verify that there is sufficient engine speed and that main
line strainer screen is not obstructed.
b. Start-up Raven SCS-450 Control:
1. Complete instructions for the SCS-450 Sprayer Control are provided in the SCS-450 INSTALLATION
AND SERVICE MANUAL which is included in the sprayer console box.
NOTE!
SUMMERS MFG. CO. RECOMMENDS THAT THE OPTIONAL COMPUTERIZED CONTROL CONSOLE BE
MOUNTED TO A SECURE SUPPORT INSIDE THE CAB OF THE SPRAY MACHINE.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR 450 CONTROL PROGRAMMING
1. Write down meter cal, valve cal, speed cal, and boom cal numbers in manual for quick, easy reference.
2. If any component fails and is replaced calibration will change and must be updated.
3. Disconnect console before jump starting, charging battery or welding on equipment.
4. Suspension type fertilizers and slurry mixtures will reduce life of plastic parts in flow meter and control valve.
Check rotor and hub frequently for worn parts. Excessive wear will affect accuracy.
5. Summers Manufacturing uses only standard close valves (C-sd).
6. SP1 is for wheel drive speed sensor. SP2 is for radar and interface cable speed sensors.
7. Summers Manufacturing uses 6 magnets for wheel drive speed sensor reading, other companies normally use
4 magnets. This provides a more accurate speed reading.
8. If console is flashing “CAL” it has not received enough calibration input to function.
9. To change some settings the console must be cleared. Data from Hint 1 will be useful in this case.
