Pre-Install Checklist
The pre-install checklist is necessary to check the existing sprayer functionality before the
installation.
1.
Unfold the sprayer over a flat, unobstructed area (i.e. no power lines…etc.).
2.
Ensure all boom-fold operations are functional (place a check mark in boxes below).
3.
Bring engine to field-operational RPM and record below.
4.
Record the time (seconds) it takes for a full stroke for all boom functions. To ensure
repeatable measurements, take the average of 3 trials.
5.
Not all sprayers will have the functions listed below in
Figure 4
.
Ensure the boom has sufficient travel so it does not contact the ground during
these tests.
