Before spraying check all connections related to the Sprayer Control assembly. Particular
attention should be given to the speed sensor to be sure the sensor and bolts or magnets are
in-line, and properly secured.
Very important: Whenever you are working around a sprayer or farm chemicals, be
sure to wear protective clothing and eyewear.
Partially fill the sprayer tank with water to flush the system and make a visual check of the
spray tips to be sure all tips are delivering a good spray pattern.
Follow these steps, in sequence, being sure the Master Switch is in its “OFF” position:
☛
Be sure the tank shut-off valve is open.
☛
Start the engine, engage pump, and set the rpm to that which will be used when spraying.
☛
Switch the computer on by depressing the Pro key on the display panel.
☛
Turn “ON” the toggle switches for each of the spray booms on your sprayer.
☛
Now, toggle the Master switch to “on.”
☛
Adjust the pressure with the +/- switch.
At this point, the sprayer will be activated and spray tip performance can be visually checked.
The +/- switch can be used to raise or lower your spraying pressure. To stop spraying, toggle
the Master switch to “OFF”.
The above steps provide a quick way to checkout your sprayer and computerized monitor
system.
