Never Run A Pump Dry! Fill Tank ½ Full of Clean Clear Water Prior to Adding Any Chemical. Assure Agitation Is At Full Flow Prior to Adding Chemicals. Add All Chemicals Slowly to Tank. Premix Wettable Powders. Turn Off Agitation At Lower Tank Levels To Minimize Foaming & Pump Cavitation. Use An Anti-Foaming Agent As Required. Clean, Clean, Clean ! Triple Rinse System After Each Use at High Spray Pressure and Full Agitation, Use Fifty (50) Gallons of Clean Clear Water For Each of The Three Rinses, Use an Appropriate Cleaning/ Neutralizing Agent as Needed, Clean Strainer Weekly and After Each Use When Applying Wettable Powders. Verify Chemicals Are Compatible With Viton. See manufactures labeling. It should specify if it is not compatible with Viton. Lubricate Solenoid Valves’ Armature Monthly (Adjustable Style Only) Use Glycerin or Mineral Oil. Verify Adjustment Annually. Pro Control Systems: Clean Flow Meter Annually. Utilize Bypass Valve To Maintain Maximum Static Pressure At Or Below 80 P.S.I. CalibGuide FILPROC2.DOC i This page is intentionally blank. Multi ProTM Sprayer Calibration Easy Method 1. 2. Fill sprayer tank with clean clear water. Verify that the nozzle spacing is 20 inches between nozzles. If nozzle spacing is different that 20 inches, see chart below. Check flow from each nozzle to verify uniform distribution. Replace worn nozzles. Measure a test course that is 204 feet in length. If nozzle spacing is different that 20 inches, see chart below. Drive the test course at your normal spraying speed and record the travel time in seconds. Park the sprayer while maintaining the same RPM used to drive the test course and set the pressure to be used while spraying. Collect the output from one nozzle for the same amount of time that it took to travel the test course. Each once collected equals a gallon per acre application rate. Example: 78 ounces collected equals 78 gallons per acre application rate. Test Course Length (feet) 204 227 255 291 340 408 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

(per nozzle) M.P.H. x Nozzle Spacing Example: 79.2 G.P.A. = 5940 x .80 G.P.M. 3 M.P.H. x 20 ” 1,000 Square Foot Method: To check your calibration: G.P.1,000 sq. ft. = 136 x G.P.M. (per Nozzle) M.P.H. x Nozzle Spacing Example: 2 G.P.1,000 sq. ft. = 136 x .88 G.P.M. 3 M.P.H. x 20 ” NOTE: G.P.M = gallons per minute M.P.H. = miles per hour G.P.A. = gallons per acre G. P. 1,000 sq. ft. = gallons per thousand square feet 2 CalibGuide EasyMethod.doc General Calibration Formulas Finding The Correct Nozzle Size Acre Method: G.P.M. (per nozzle) = G.P.A. x M.P.H. x 5940 Nozzle Spacing (inches) Example: .81 G.P.M. = 80 G.P.A. x 3 M.P.H. x 20 ” 5940 After determining the gallons per minute refer to the Capacity column on the Nozzle Charts later in this booklet. 1,000 Square Foot Method: G.P.M. (per nozzle) = G.P. 1,000 sq. ft. x M.P.H. x Nozzle Spacing 136 Example: .88 G.P.M. = 2 G.P.1,000 sq. ft. x 3 M.P.H. x 20 ” 136 After determining the gallons per minute refer to the Capacity column on the Nozzle Charts later in this booklet. NOTE: G.P.M = gallons per minute M.P.H. = miles per hour G.P.A. = gallons per acre G.
