Operation
PARTS MANUALS AVAILABLE ONLINEATsmithco.com
OPERATION
Before using the Spray Star 2000, the operator and spray technician must familiarize themselves with all of the informa-
tion on chemical spraying contained in the Turf Spray Guide.
All testing and calibrating of sprayers is to be done with water, not chemicals. This insures the safety
to all involved in performing the calibration operation. Only after all calibration procedures are
completed should chemical be added to the sprayer.
TOWING UNIT
When it is necessary to move the Spray Star 2000 without the engine running, the bypass valve built into hydrostatic
pump must be "open" by turning it 1/4turn to open. The valve is located on the back side of the pump. An "open" valve
allows fluid to pass through the wheels freely. When normal driven operation is desired, valve should be "closed" by
turning it clockwise. Failure to "close" the valve with engine running means no power to wheels.
HILLSIDE OPERATION
Do NOT stop or start suddenly on any slope. Be especially cautious when changing direction. Do NOT operate on
slopes greater than 10°.
BATTERY
Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury. Do not allow flames, sparks or any ig-
nited object to come near the battery. When charging or working near battery, always shield your eyes and always pro-
vide proper ventilation.
Battery cable should be disconnected before using “Fast Charge”.
Charge battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes or 7 amps for 30 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended charging rate. If
electrolyte starts boiling over, decrease charging.
Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and replace it last. Avoid hazards by:
1. Filling batteries in well-ventilated areas.
2. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
3. Avoid breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.
Battery Electrolyte is an acidic solution and should be handled with care. If electrolyte is splashed on
any part of your body, flush all contact areas immediately with liberal amounts of water. Get medical
attention immediately.
JUMP STARTING
Use of booster battery and jumper cables. Particular care should be used when connecting a booster
battery. Use proper polarity in order to prevent sparks.
To jump start (negative grounded battery):
1. Shield eyes.
2. Connect ends of one cable to positive (+) terminals of each
battery, first (A) then (B).
3. Connect one end of other cable to negative (-) terminal of
"good" battery (C).
4. Connect other end of cable (D) to engine block on unit being
started (NOT to negative (-) terminal of battery)
To prevent damage to other electrical components on unit being
started, make certain that engine is at idle speed before discon-
necting jumper cables.

SPRAYERVALVESETTINGSANDSPRAYTANKAGITATION
The ball valve on the suction side of the pump, between the tank and the pump must be open before pump is
engaged. Close this valve only when necessary to clean the filter with spray material in the spray tank.
There is one manual flow control valve on the discharge side of the spray system. This valve controls the agita-
tor. This valve may be opened as much as necessary to provide hydraulic agitation through the quadrajet agita-
tor in the tank bottom. This valve may be partially closed to prevent or reduce foam buildup from the spray ma-
terials inside the tank. When the liquid level in the spray tank reaches a certain level (usually 1-25 gallons
(3.8-95 Liters) depending on terrain and other conditions) it may be necessary to close the valve in the agitator
line in order to prevent loss of suction prime.

You can change orifice disc sizes to enhance spray system performance. Smaller discs reduce amount of agita-
tion (desirable in some foaming materials) and make more dischargeable liquid available for nozzles. Larger (or
none) discs increase amount of agitation and make less dischargeable liquid available for nozzles.

CONSOLEPROGRAMMING
When entering data into the Console computer, the entry sequence is always the same. Data must be entered
into the first eight keys.
1. Depress the key which you wish to enter data. 2. Depress the “Enter” key.An “E” will illuminate
in the DATAdisplay.
3. Depress the keys corresponding to the 4. Complete the entry byagain depressing the
number you wish to enter (i.e. “5”, “7”, “2”). “ENTER”key.
Thenumbers will bedisplayed in theDATA
display as they are entered.
CONSOLECALIBRATION
CALCULATING“BOOMCAL”(BOOM1,BOOM2,BOOM3)
Calculate the width of each boom in inches (centimeters) by multiplying the number of tips times the spacing.
Writetheseboomwidthsdown forfuture referencewhenprogramming theConsole computer.TheConsole is
capableof controlling uptothree (3) booms.
CALCULATING“SPEEDCAL"
1. Enter Speed Cal in key of 785 for GPS or 612 for wheel speed sensor..
2. Place Master and Boom 1 switches to on.
3. Enter “0” in key .
4. Drive 1 mile. Do not use vehicle odometer to determine distance, use section lines or highway markers.
5. Itshould read avalue ofapproximately5280. Ifit reads between5200-5350, the Speed Calforthis vehicle
is 688.
Ifthe Distancedisplay reads anyother value, divideSpeed Calby the valueobserved in Distance,then
multiply by 5280. This will give you the correct value to enter for Speed Cal. You must round off to the
nearest3 digit number (use120 not 120.3).

CONSOLECALIBRATION
6. Recheck the new Speed Cal numbers. Zero out Distance display as in step 3. Enter the new Speed Cal
number as in step 1. Repeat steps 4 and 5.
MEASURE CAREFULLY. Be sure tire is properly inflated before measuring. Measure tire in
type of soil in which you will be spraying. Circumference of tire will vary when measured in
soft soil versus hard packed soil. For best results, measure several times and average the
results. Re-measure periodically.
CALCULATING“METERCAL”
The Flow Meter calibration number is stamped on the label attached to each Flow Meter; this number is to be
usedfor gallon perarea applications.To convertoriginal METER CALfrom gallonstodesired unitsof measure
(oz,lbsor liters per area) seeAbbreviationsand Conversions section ofthis manual. Writedown this calibration
numberfor futurereferencewhenprogrammingthe console.
CALCULATING"VALVECAL”
The initial Control Valve calibration number is 2123.After operating the system, you may desire to refine this
number. Seedefinitions below.
Valve Backlash Controls the time of the first correction pulse after a change in correction direction is detected.
Incr to Decr or Decr to Incr Range: 1 to 9, 1-Short Pulse, 9-Long Pulse
ValveSpeedDigitControls theSpeedofthe ControlValvemotor.
Running the Control Valve too fast will cause the system to oscillate.
Range: 1 to 9, 1-slow, 9-Fast
Brake Point Digit Percent Sets the point at which the Control Valve motor begins braking, so as not to over
shoot the desired rate. Digit is percent away from target rate. Range: 0 to 9, 0=5%, 1=10%, 9=90%,
DeadbandDigitAllowable differencebetween targetandactual application rate,where ratecorrection is not
performed. Range: 1 to 9, 1 = 1%, 9 = 9%
CALCULATING"RATE1ANDRATE2CAL"(See SprayingProcedure section)
Determine the application rate at which your chemical should be sprayed. Consult with your Dealer to insure
your spray nozzles are capable of applying at this target rate.
Using CAPACITY = .35 GPM (1.67 lit/min) and pressure = 30 PSI (20 bar) you would select tip number XR8004
from the Nozzle Charts Section, since it comes closest to providing the desired output.
VERIFYINGFLOWRATELIMITS
The flow rate of the sprayer must be within the range of 1 to 55 GPM (4 to 210 lit/min).

INITIALPROGRAMMINGOFCONSOLECOMPUTER
Whenyou first turnonConsole power, afterallinstallationprocedureshave been completed,the Console will
flash “CAL” in the RATE display and “US” in the DATAdisplay.This means you must “calibrate” or program the
Consolebefore itcanbe operated.
(This is a one time operation which does not have to be repeated unless you disconnect your battery wires.
Turning OFF the POWER ON/OFF switch does not affect the Console memory.All data is retained).The follow-
ing steps must now be followed.
If an entry selection error is made during steps 1, 2, 3, or 4, the Console can be reset by depressing for
20 seconds (Data displays US and RATE displays CAL.).
1. DisplayingUS, SI or TU
a. Depressing momentarily Steps the DATAdisplay from US (acres) to SI.
b. Depressing momentarily Stepsthe DATAdisplayfromSI (Hectares) toTU.
c. Depressing momentarily Steps the DATAdisplay from TU (1000 sq ft) to US.
2. Selecting US, SI or TU
a. To select US, SI, or TU, step until the desired code is displayed in DATA display.
b. Momentarily depress the DATAdisplay will now display SP1.
3. Displaying SP1 or SP2
a. Depressing momentarily steps the DATAdisplay from SP1 (wheel drives, etc.) to SP2.
b. Depressing momentarily steps the DATAdisplay from SP2 (radar sensor) to SP1.
4. Selecting SP1 OR SP2
a. To select SP1 or SP2, step with until desired code is displayed in DATA display.
b. Momentarily depress the DATAdisplay will now display 0.
5. Enter width in inches (cm) of BOOM 1 in the key labeled:
6. Enter width in inches (cm) of BOOM 2 in the key labeled: If there is only one boom, enter "0" for
width of BOOM 2.
7. Enter width in inches (cm) of BOOM 3 in the key labeled: If there is only one or two boom, enter “0”
forwidthof BOOM 3.
