1.8 GROUND SPEED OVERRIDE SWITCH
An optional ground speed override Switch can be used to temporarily operate the sprayer using a pre-selected "minimum
(GSO) speed" rather than the actual speed registered by the ground speed sensor. The override feature is used to bring
the sprayer on line quickly when starting from a dead stop or to maintain an adequate spray pattern when the vehicle is
maneuvering at very low ground speeds. It can also be used to allow the operator to flush the sprayer from the cab with
the vehicle stopped.
The control console operates normally as long as the ground speed override switch condition is open (OFF). Whenever
the override switch is closed (ON) and the actual ground speed is less than "GSO speed", the control console automati-
cally selects the "GSO speed" value to control both carrier and injected chemical flow rates. As soon as the switch
reverts to its normally open (OFF) condition, or the actual ground speed increases above the preset "GSO speed", the
control console controls flow rates on the basis of the actual ground speed.
CAUTION: When traveling at a speed slower than the GSO speed setting, this feature will cause the product to be
applied at a rate consistent with the GSO speed, rather than the true ground speed. When Ground Speed Over-
ride is being used and the true ground speed is less than the preselected "GSO Speed", the console will sound an
alarm and the display will flash a "Too Slow" message to warn the operator of possible over application.
