SPRAYER CALIBRATION, ADJUSTMENT, AND OPERATION (continued)
Sprayer Operation
Following calibration the spryer may be used to apply products. It is recommended that the
products be applied in the following manner for best results.
The typical application procedure is to make an edging pass around the perimeter of the
property and any ornamental beds etc. within. Select the appropriate gear for the terrain and
turf conditions. Use LOW gear on hills and in tight areas. Use HIGH gear on level and open
areas. Select the appropriate trim nozzle for the gear selected and check that the other Spray
Control vale is off. Make the edging pass keeping the right front tire close to the edge spraying
as needed. Stop. Change gears if desired. Select the appropriate broadcast nozzle for the
gear selected and check that the other Spray Control vale is off. Fill in the center of the lawn
by making parallel passes on 7-foot centers spraying as needed. The first pass should overlap
back to the centerline of your wheel tracks of one of the edging passes. Repeat this process
though out the rest of the lawn.
An alternative method is to begin with the edging pass as in the previous section. Then reset
the to broadcast and fill in the center making descending spiral passes around the periphery
ending in the center spraying as needed.
Either method may be used simultaneously with the spreader features on the machine. Refer to
Spreader Operation for detailed instructions.
Use extreme caution when spraying near desirable vegetation or painted surfaces to
avoid damage.
Use extreme caution when spraying in windy conditions to avoid damage.
