pointing inwards.

such that the open end of the triangle shape orifice is facing outwards, that is, the arrow shape is pointing 

inwards. 

8.  Tighten the nozzle cap firmly. 

9.  Repeat steps 6 to 8 for the second end jet nozzle. 

10.  At first use, fill the spray unit with water for calibration of the VersatileBoom, refer to the calibration  

procedure below.

VersatileBoom Calibration 

Accurate calibration is an essential element of any spraying function as it ensures that the chemical is applied 
at the rate specified on the product label. Application in excess of the recommended rate may be dangerous, 
can damage crops and is uneconomical. 

Calibration must be carried out: 

•  When spraying for the first time with new spray equipment 

•  At the beginning of each season 

•  After changes of nozzle tips, spraying pressure or vehicle speed 

•  After every 100 hectares of spraying
