Your machine is capable of using tips from ¼ to 1 gallon in size. See chart for your
desired drop rate.
The following are some general guidelines for sprayer calibration (Note: this chart only
applies if using Air Injected tips. Using other tips will require different calculations).
Please refer to the spray chart provided for complete calibration (spray charts are now
located on the backside of the knee pad for quick in the field reference).

The Throttle Valve adjusts pressure. The Throttle Valve is located on the left side of the
Manifold assembly (page 18). Turn clockwise to increase pressure, counter clockwise to
decrease pressure. Pressure will be displayed on the Pressure Gauge (part # 60032 on
page 18). Once the nozzles are opened, you will notice a slight decrease in pressure
(adjust accordingly).
To determine liquid quantities per tank, understand what tips you have on your machine
(factory set is 1/3 gallon per 1,000 sq. ft. through the Lavender tips). For instance some
products call for 1.1 to 1.5 oz per 1,000 sq. ft. We would recommend using 1.3 (median
value of 1.1 to 1.5). Since you are using a 1/3-gallon tip, you need to multiply by 3, and
then multiply that number of gallons you need to put in your tank.
1.3 (median value of 1.1 to 1.5) X 3 (1/3 gallon tips) X gallons needed. If you were filling
a 30-gallon tank your equation would look like this:
1.3 X 3 X 30 = 117 ounces in 30 gallons of water.

Spreader Calibration/Layout
The Spreader Motor Control determines the speed of the impeller in the front on the
machine. Your machine is capable of varying its spread pattern from 3 – 25 feet with this
control. Being hydraulically driven, the spread pattern is independent of the ground
speed.
The hopper control cable opens and closes the door inside the base of the hopper. The
maximum size of the opening will be determined by the rate adjustment on the Hopper
Rate Dial. This will set your rate gate linkage bar to limit and stop the rate the door can
open.
The Diffuser adjustment allows the user to adjust the intensity of the spread pattern. A
small pull shifts the product placement on the impeller either to the edge of the impeller
or the middle of the impeller. This in turn shifts the spread pattern heavier to the left
(placing product to the edge of the impeller) or heavier to the right (placing product to the
middle of the impeller). *FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION, GO TO………
