NOTICE
Before operating your Apache Sprayer, please check and calibrate the following precision agricultural
equipment depending on the machine configuration. Always operate the Apache within the state and local
guidelines and regulations.
1. Check all settings and calibrations in your Viper® 4+, field computers:
• Swath Width
• Boom Section Calibration
• Receiver Fore/Aft Settings
• Valve Calibration
• Flow Meter Calibration
• Rate Calibration
• Low Limit Setting
2. Please review your AutoBoom® and AccuBoom™ settings, if equipped.
3. Calibrate the RS1®autosteer if equipped. RS1®autosteer calibration must be performed on a large,
flat, and open area. Make sure all settings are entered properly, and that calibration is performed in its
entirety. This includes driving on an A-B line for roughly 20 minutes after automatic calibration is complet-
ed to allow the yaw sensor to learn how to acquire the line properly.
