To calibrate the spray system, first ensure that the sprayer is on a level surface. Access the calibration menu from the display, select the appropriate nozzle type, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration process.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the nozzles, inspecting hoses for leaks, ensuring that all filters are clean, and verifying that the pressure gauges are accurate. Lubricate moving parts according to the operator's manual.
Check for obstructions in the suction line and ensure that the pump has sufficient fluid. Inspect the pump seals for wear or damage, and check the drive belt tension. Refer to the manual for detailed troubleshooting steps.
Ensure that the GPS antenna is correctly positioned and clear of obstructions. Check for any software updates for the guidance system. Recalibrate the system as necessary according to the manual's instructions.
Drain all water from the system and add antifreeze to the pump and lines. Thoroughly clean the sprayer to remove any chemical residues. Store the equipment in a dry, sheltered location.
Low-drift air induction nozzles are recommended for herbicide applications as they reduce the risk of spray drift and improve coverage. Always refer to the chemical label for specific nozzle recommendations.
The boom height should be adjusted at the beginning of each spraying session and whenever the terrain changes significantly to ensure optimal coverage and minimize drift.
Rinse the entire system with clean water, paying special attention to the tank, hoses, and nozzles. Use a cleaning solution if necessary to remove any chemical residues. Ensure all components are free from debris and properly drained.
Maintain proper tire pressure, regularly service the engine, and avoid excessive idling. Ensure that the sprayer is calibrated correctly and that the load is balanced to reduce strain on the engine.
Inspect the pressure regulator and adjust it if necessary. Check for clogs or damage in the lines and nozzles, and ensure the pump is running smoothly without air leaks. Replace any worn components.
