1. Set the graduated container on a level surface, allow the fluid to settle, and note the fluid volume .

   Important: Ensure that the graduated container is on a level surface.Small errors reading the fluid volume in the graduated container will significantly impact the accuracy of the sprayer calibration.

   

   Figure 31

   1. Fluid level
   2. Level surface

2. Using the fluid amount collected from the 1 nozzle, multiply 12 (the number of nozzles),to calculate the 15-second sprayer volume.

   Step 1 Measurement		15-Second Sprayer Volume
   (ml or oz)	x 12 =	(ml or oz)

   Example: 44 fl oz X 12 nozzles = 528 fl oz

3. Multiple the 15-second sprayer volume that you calculated in step 2 by 4 to calculate the 60-second sprayer volume.

   15–Second Sprayer Volume		60-Second Sprayer Volume
   (ml or oz)	x 4 =	(ml or oz)

   Example: 528 fl oz X 4 = 2112 fl oz

4. Convert that 60-second sprayer volume into liters or gallons (33.8 oz equals 1 liter; 128 fl oz equals 1 US gallon).

   Record the converted volume here: (L or US gal).

   Example: 2112 fl oz / 128 = 16.5 US gal

1. In step 3 of 4 in the auto flow calibration wizard, press the VOLUME CAPTURED icon, enter the fluid volume that you converted above with the on-screen keypad, and press the confirm icon.

2. Press the next icon.

3. In step 4 of 4 in the auto flow calibration wizard, press the confirm icon.

   The 'pulses/gal' should be less than 400. If the value is higher, run the test again.

The MASTER SWITCH icon on the home screen indicates the sprayer system is on or off.

Creating a Boundary with All Straight Sides

Figure 64

1. Align the outside, center part of the left front tire at the first point of the straight sided field boundary, and stop the machine.

2. Without moving the machine, press the RECORD FIELD BOUNDARY icon, and press the PAUSE FIELD BOUNDARY RECORDING icon.

   

   Figure 65

3. Move the machine, and align the outside, center part of the left front tire at the next point of the straight sided field boundary, and stop the machine.

4. Press the RECORD FIELD BOUNDARY icon, and press the PAUSE FIELD BOUNDARY RECORDING icon.

   Note: The control console connects the 2 points with a straight line.

   

   Figure 66

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all the remaining points except for the last open point.

6. Align the outside, center part of the left front tire at the last point, and stop the machine.

7. Press the COMPLETE FIELD BOUNDARY RECORDING icon.

   Note: The control console connects the beginning and end points with a straight line.

   

   Figure 67

This procedure describes how to create boundaries from areas of previously recorded coverage. With only the center spray section spraying water, you can use this procedure to create exclusion boundaries for golf cart paths.

1. Park the machine near the coverage area from which you are creating a field boundary.

2. Press the Field icon and press Create Boundary from Coverage icon.

   

   Figure 68

3. Press the number icon or sliders to update the settings.

   • The smoothing setting controls the minimum gap size that is automatically filled when creating a field boundary from coverage.

   • The minimum coverage area setting to exclude coverage smaller that the area specified (not included in the field boundary).

   • The distance from coverage setting to expand the created field boundary the specified distance away from the coverage.

   • The minimum excluded area setting is used to control exclude regions are not created from gaps smaller than the area you specify in minimum exclude area setting.

4. Press the EXCLUDED REGIONS icon to create boundaries for coverage areas that are not sprayed.

   Note: Enabling exclude regions creates exclude regions from gaps within the coverage area.

Field boundary attributes are used to uniquely identify the boundaries within a field, and indicate to the system areas where product is applied or not applied.

• Work Region—work regions indicate to the system areas where product is always applied if you use auto section control. Use work regions for areas such as fine and course turf grass.

• Excluded Region—excluded regions indicate to the system areas where product is never applied if you use auto section control. Use excluded regions for areas such as water features, sand features, and walking or cart paths.

• Categorized Region

  • Categorized regions are used for fields with many boundaries.

  • Assigning each boundary to a category is useful when including boundaries when applying a product or excluding a boundary when applying another product.

  • You can use categorized regions to define work regions and excluded regions for the current task.

  • In addition to the preset categorized regions, you can create new categorized regions for unique boundary-product application or unique boundary-product exclusion.

  After creating the boundary, press your finger on the control console screen next to the boundary line until the boundary-selection icon illuminates, and slid your finger to the boundary line. Remove your finger from the screen, and the edit boundary dialog box opens.

Naming a Field Boundary

Press the name icon, use the on-screen keyboard to type in the boundary name, and press the confirm icon.

Figure 71

You add flag points to the control console map while you are creating field boundaries or spraying to identify terrain features or hazards for the site.

Note: This setting controls the amount of nozzle-spray overlap for adjacent sprayer passes at the outermost spray nozzles (as a percentage of the spray pattern).The default setting is 50.

1. Press the AUTO SECTION CONTROL icon.

   

   Figure 85

2. Press the BOOM CONTROL icon.

   • Set the percentage in CONTROL MODE to avoid overlapping (0) or to avoid gaps (100).

     • Avoiding overlapping could cause spaces where the product is not applied.

     • Avoiding gaps could cause some overlap of application.

   • Set the distance in OVERLAP ENTERING COVERED AREA to set the amount of overlap to occur when entering a completed area.

   • Set the distance in OVERLAP EXITING COVERED AREA to set the amount of overlap to occur when exiting a completed area.

   Figure 101

2. Select a task to join.

   Note: The product being applied remotely must match the products in the local implement.

   The system will match the products being used remotely to the products on the local machine by:

   • Matching the products that have been previously linked.

   • Matching the name of the products.

   • Matching the previous assignment or name of the products.

   The below screen will display if the products do not match.

   • Task product will display the product being applied remotely.

   • Local product will display the product being applied locally.

   • Tank(s) will list the tank containing the product.

   

   Figure 102

3. Press OK to join the task.

   Note: A notification will be sent to the machine that started the task.

1. Machines will have a symbol to show if they are connected or not.

   Note: The Wi-Fi antenna will connect up to 0.4 km (0.25 mile).

   

   Figure 103

2. Press and hold the icon on the machine to display:

   Note: If the Wi-Fi connection is lost, the machine icon will show that it is disconnected and it stay in the last connected position until connection is regained. When the Wi-Fi connects, the machine appears in the actual position and the display will show the updated shared coverage.

   • The console name

   • The status and any connection issues

   • Which products are being applied

   • The areas that have been covered

   

   Figure 104

Local coverage displays as a light green.

Shared coverage displays as a dark green. Press the machine icon to highlight the shared coverage in a different shade to show the specific coverage from that implement.

Creating a ‘boundary from coverage’ uses the local and shared coverage to form the boundary.

The application rate can be selected as a coverage option. Since all machines shares the same coverage legend, they will have the same application rate map.

If you change fields or tasks on a display but then go back to the previous shared task, the shared coverage will not show up unless the other machines are still operating in that field or they reload the shared task.

If a machine leaves the shared coverage field, that machine’s coverage will still be displayed.

Note: The total covered area only displays the area covered from the local implement. The remaining area calculated within a boundary will not factor in the shared coverage.
