9. Start sprayer pressurizing system to work up
to desired pressure.
10. When applying chemicals in the field, your
goals are accuracy, efficiency and safety. To
reduce expenses and risks to human health:
• Apply spray when wind is 5 mph or less.
• Take note of adjoining crops, houses or
persons.
• Minimize drift by using nozzle tips with the
largest practical opening and by operating
boom at the lowest practical height.
• Work crosswise to the wind. Start from the
down-wind side of the field to avoid heading
directly into chemical fumes.
• When turning at the end of field, make sure
boom will not overlap previously sprayed
crop.
• While spraying, monitor pressure closely.
Maintain a constant tank pressure for even
and accurate spraying.
• Periodically check hoses, connections and
nozzles. Release pressure before working
on sprayer or boom. Always wear rubber
gloves when making repairs or adjust-
ments.
11. When finished spraying, empty tank and flush
sprayer with water, including the pump, noz-
zles and valve-bypass line. Store or dispose
unused chemicals as recommended by the
chemical manufacturer.
