OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SPRAY BOOM OPERATION

Downward Spray Zone

Nozzle Alignment

For consistent brine application, make sure that the 
holes in the nozzles are aligned with the boom.

Downward Spray Nozzle Selection

Select the nozzles to use by referring to the 
application rates charts. Rotate the selection wheels 
so that the desired nozzle faces downward.

Align holes 
with boom.

APPLICATION RATES

Application rates are to be selected and adjusted 
by the user according to ground conditions and 
temperatures. Initial market research suggests an 
application rate of approximately 30 gallons/acre for 
use in de-icing and anti-icing. Application rates in the 
charts below are based on manufacturer's numbers. 
If your 

fl

 ow is uncharacteristically slow, see the 

Troubleshooting and Maintenance sections.
