OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS - CONTINUED

SPRAYING OPERATION (UPPER SPRAY BAR) - CONTINUED
NOTE
Making several passes to discharge liquid is preferable to making one pass, where application is so heavy
that flooding of soil results.
5.
Begin spraying operation.
a.
Set transmission and pump at appropriate speeds for desired application rate.
b.
Make successive passes and ensure an appropriate overlap of coverage. Monitor results and adjust coverage vol-
ume as needed: too heavy an application will result in flooding or formation of puddles, and will be a waste of
material; too light an application will not achieve desired results.
CAUTION
Tank may be raised slightly to allow discharge of residual fluid that has pooled at bottom of tank. However,
do NOT continue to discharge after EMPTY indicator light on control panel has come on. Damage to pump
could result.
6.
When spraying operation is complete, turn off pump with pump control lever (elevator control lever) and reduce engine
RPM.
7.
Close all spray valves.
8.
Place pump control switch to OFF (suction) position.
9.
Refill tank and repeat operation as required.
CAUTION
Do NOT leave machine after operation without flushing/rinsing tank, if tank amendments were used during
mission. Tank must be clean and dry to ensure effectiveness of subsequent operations. Improper cleaning
will result in accumulation and build-up of amendments in tank. Premature failure or damage to plumbing or
pump may result. Effectiveness of amendments used may also be reduced.
10.
When spraying operation is complete flush/rinse tank to remove all traces of amendment.
PRESSURE DISCHARGE (LOWER SPRAY BAR)
