It is important to keep
your chemical applicator
clean. Chemicals are
becoming more potent
and environmental
considerations are
becoming more demand-
ing. Keeping the equip-
ment clean also makes it
easier to maintain the
vehicle and extends its
working life.
MID-TECH recommends the following maintenance
to keep your Control System operating at peak
efficiency.
Flushing and Cleaning
)
lways follow carefully the chemical
manufacturer's directions regarding
cleaning and flushing.
As a general rule, MID-TECH recommends the
following. Do not leave chemicals in the applicator
overnight. The system should be cleaned at the end of
each day's operation.
WARNING: Failure to follow the chemical
manufacturer's recommended cleaning and
flushing procedures may result in chemical damage
to crops receiving later treatment. All flushed
material must be collected and disposed of in
accordance with the applicable federal, state and
local regulations in your area.
Control Console
T
he control console requires no maintenance,
other than checking the constants stored in
memory and an occasional cleaning. Clean the
console by wiping with a damp cloth and by covering
unused connectors with the attached dust covers.
Verify the constants by checking each of the calibra-
tion numbers, and the desired application rate values
(Refer to Chapter 2, Calibration.)
Since the control console uses nonvolatile memory for
storing the constants, reentering them is seldom
necessary. However, there have been cases of con-
stants being distorted as a result of electromagnetic
interference. For this reason, MID-TECH strongly
