Setting the Preset Agitation Value (Application Rate Mode Only)

Note: The preset agitation setting is used to set the sprayer pump speed when the sprayer is operated in the Application Rate Mode with all sprayer section shut off. The preset agitation setting controls the percentage of sprayer pump speed. The default preset agitation setting is 40%.

  1. Identify the target sprayer pressure that you are planning to spray—for example: 2.76 bar (40 psi). Record the pressure displayed on the dash mounted sprayer-pressure gauge below.

    Sprayer pressure:

  2. Calculate the initial agitation preset pressure using the formula below:

    Sprayer operation pressure x 1.5 to 2.0 = initial agitation preset pressure
    Example: target sprayer pressure 2.76 bar (40 psi) x 1.5 = initial agitation preset pressure 4.1 (60 psi)Example: target sprayer pressure 2.76 bar (40 psi) x 2.0 = initial agitation preset pressure 5.5 bar (80 psi)
    Record your calculation here:

  3. With the master section switch in the OFF position and the engine throttle set to the engine speed you intend to run the machine, adjust the preset agitation value until the sprayer system pressure is between 1.5 to 2.0 times the target sprayer pressure that you identified in step 1.

    For example, if you are spraying at 2.76 bar (40 psi), initially set Preset Agitation to achieve a system pressure of 4.1 to 5.5 bar (60 to 80 psi).

    Note: If the chemicals in the sprayer tank are foaming, lower the preset agitation value as necessary to reduce system pressure when tank agitation is running.

Calibrating the Sprayer

Application Rate Mode

Note: To calibrate the sprayer for manual mode operation, refer to setting the section—bypass valves in the Operator’s Manual for the machine.

  1. Ensure that the sprayer tank is clean; refer to Cleaning the Sprayer System in the Operator’s Manual.

  2. To access the Calibration screen press buttons 1 or 2 on the MAIN MENU screen to navigate to the CALIBRATION option (Figure 39).

    g192024

    Figure 39

  3. Press button 4 to select Calibration sub-menu (Figure 39).

    Note: This screen displays and allows you to calibrate the flow meter input, calibrate the speed sensor input, perform a speed test, and manually enter calculation data.

Flow Calibration

Customer provided equipment: Use a catch container graduated for the nozzle-flow rate as follows:

  • 1.5 Lpm (0.4 gpm) or less - a container graduated in 10 ml (1/2 oz) increments is preferred.

  • 1.9 Lpm (0.5 gpm) or more - a container graduated in 20 ml (1 oz) increments.

Important: You must perform a flow calibration for 3 sprayer sections each time you replace all nozzles, change to the active spray (down) position, or after replacing the flow meter. You should perform a flow calibration for 3 sprayer sections if you replace several worn nozzles.

Note: Incorrectly performing the catch test results in inaccuracy in flow calibration. The result of these inaccuracies causes the sprayer system to over-apply or under-apply sprayer chemicals.

Evaluating the Which Type of Flow Calibration to Perform

Use the Sprayer Sections Table to help determine how you typically spray turf with the machine and which flow calibration to perform.

Note: You can perform a combination of up to 3 flow calibration types.

Sprayer Section Table

 Perform the 3-boom calibration
3 sprayer sectionsYes
 
I also spray with 2 sprayer sections:Perform the 2-Boom Calibration 
Left and Center sections (OR)YesNo
Right and Center sections (OR)YesNo
Right and Left sectionsYesNo
 
I also spray with 1 sprayer section:Perform the 1-Boom Calibration 
Left sprayer section only (OR)YesNo
Center sprayer section only (Or)YesNo
Right sprayer section onlyYesNo

3 boom calibration: Always perform the calibration for the 3 sprayer sections when you change the nozzles to increase or decrease the range of application rates.

Note: If you do not perform the optional 2 boom calibration or 1 boom calibration, the sprayer uses the calculations from the 3-boom calibration in all sprayer-section combinations.

Optional 2 boom calibration: Calibrate the left and center sprayer sections or the right and center sprayer sections or the left and right sections if you typically spray with those section combinations. Perform this optional calibration after performing the 3 sprayer section calibration.

Note: The calibration you perform for two sprayer sections is used whenever you spray with any combination of 2 sprayer sections.

Note: You can only calibrate for 1 pair of sprayer sections for the 2 boom calibration. Calibrate from the pair of sprayer sections that you use the most. The sprayer system uses the 2-boom calculation when you spray with either the left and center or right and center section combinations.

Optional 1 boom calibration: Calibrate the left or center or right sprayer section if you typically spray with 1 sprayer section. Perform this optional calibration after performing the 3-sprayer-section calibration and 2-sprayer-section calibration.

Note: You can only calibrate 1 of the 3 sprayer sections for the 1 boom calibration. Calibrate from the sprayer section that you use the most. The sprayer system uses the 1-boom calibration when you spray with the left, center, or right section.

Preparing for the Flow Test

  1. Ensure that the nozzles that you intend to use are in the active spray (down) position (Figure 40).

    Important: All nozzles in the active position must be the same color.

    Note: For best results, nozzles in the active position should have approximately the same amount of wear.
