run clean water through the pump, hoses
and boom applying those contaminated
contents on previously treated area.
3. Rinse outside of sprayer tank thoroughly
with fresh clean water. Rinse several times
to make sure sprayer tank is clean and free
of chemicals.
4. Once the tank is empty, wipe out inside of
sprayer tank with a clean cloth or paper
towel.
5. Close drain valve and filler cap.
Calibrating the Sprayer
When spraying with boom, sprayer must be
calibrated to ensure proper spray coverage and
to combat over-application or under-application.
The calibration process consists of three steps:
1. Calculate speed of tractor.
2. Determine nozzle size and consult
calibration chart for desired or instructed
gallon per acre (GPA).
3. Set pressure using relief valve.
Calculating the Speed
It is important to determine what speed the
tractor will be traveling while spraying. Even if
tractor has a speedometer, it is still
recommended that speed be checked for
accuracy. Perform the following steps to
OPERATION

5CS2004OM (rev 00 07/2020)16
determine speed:
1. Measure a 200 or 300 foot distance on a
field or surface similar to where sprayer will
be used.
2. Drive tractor with half-full sprayer across
measured distance at a constant and
comfortable speed for spraying. There can
be no changes in speed while measuring
time.
3. Determine amount of time, in seconds, it
takes to travel the measured distance.
4. Speed can be determined by entering data
into the following equation: speed (mph) =
(distance (ft) x 60) / (time (sec) x 88) or by
consulting the following table
Speed
in MPH
Time (sec) required to travel a distance

The spray nozzles on your sprayer are TF-VP3,
which match up with the calibration chart. Refer
to the calibration chart. Using tractor speed,
nozzle size, and desired gallons per acre
(GPA), find pressure (psi) necessary to achieve
your GPA.
Operation

5CS2004OM (rev 00 07/2020) 17Operation
NOTE: Lower pressure settings will result in
less spray drift.
Example:
Assume tractor speed is determined to be 4
mph, nozzles are gray (TFVP3), and desired
GPA is 20 GPA. The calibration charts shows
that you should set sprayer’s pressure at about
20 psi in order to apply 20 GPA.
NOTE: Optimum spray performance is achieved
between 20-25 psi. When shutting off outer tips,
use the regulator valve to adjust your boom
pressure accordingly.

Adjusting the Sprayer Pressure
NOTE: All calibration needs to be done with
clean water.
Once correct pressure setting has been deter-
mined, the sprayer must be adjusted to that
pressure setting. Before adjusting sprayer’s
pressure, it is important to set tractor
rpm at rate that was used to determine tractor
speed.
