DISCLAIMER
It is the responsibility of the person using this equipment to make sure that every type of material is properly calibrated
to perform as expected. This process should take place on a solid
fl
at surface away from drains and livestock areas in
order to achieve a safe and accurate reading for proper material distribution. Failure to do so may cause an over/under
application that could damage turf areas or give an ineffective pest control treatment. Any calibration charts contained
in this manual are given as a reference point only and should not be used as an absolute condition. Spending a few
extra minutes to properly calibrate will not only save on wasted materials and time, but also protect turf and other
vegetation. Below are several points to be aware of before operating your sprayer in the
fi
eld.
• Flow rates of material can change for many reasons:
1. Formulations vary within the same brand or even between brands.
2. Formulations vary between batches or dates of manufacture.
3. Poor sprayer maintenance can cause
fl
ow changes.
4. Human error can cause rate miscalculation.
• Items needed for calibration:
1. A way to catch the material for measuring.
2. A device to measure distance.
3. A bottle or bucket for measuring liquid.
4. A stop watch or other means to measure time.
