C. Prepare the sprayer
1. Mode Selector switch OPERATE
2. Rate switch Desired position
(Standard Rate/Alt.-Rate)
3. GSO switch ON
4. Drive toward the desired swath, accelerating
to normal application speed (as close as
possible to the GSO speed value).
D. Start Spraying - As the vehicle reaches the start of
the desired swath, turn booms ON and begin
applying.
E. The control console controls the application as if
the vehicle is moving at the established GSO
speed. The actual accuracy of application therefore
depends upon the ability of the operator to
maintain the desired vehicle speed. If the vehicle is
traveling at the GSO speed, the application is
nearly exact.
F. The console still keeps track of the Total Applied,
and the system still adjusts to changes in boom
width. These functions can be monitored on the
display.
G. The TASC 6100 display flashes a too slow
message, and an audible alarm sounds, to indicate
abnormal operation. There is no speed displayed,
areas do not accumulate, and displayed application
rate information is meaningless.

he TASC 6100 system can be operated, at a
reduced level of control, in the event of a flow
control valve failure. To operate the sprayer, it is
necessary to manually adjust the flow control valve so
that sufficient pressure is available to the booms to give
a good spray pattern. Thus, there is no longer positive
control over the flow. Use the following procedure to
manually position the flow control valve.

MID-TECH recom-
mends this procedure as
a temporary, emergency
procedure only. The
problem should be
resolved as soon as
possible to allow full
automatic control of the
sprayer to be reestab-
lished.
