Individual Volume, or Area and Carrier Rate).
5. Depending on Calculation Mode, enter the Total Acres, App Rate, and/or Total Volume for the
batch.
6. Enter the Preload Vol(ume) (this is how much carrier (water) will be added at the start of the
batch before any other products are added).
7. Verify that the totes/chemicals shown are correct and connected to the valve shown.
8. Verify/change the Rate for each product. Rates can be changed on this screen to be effective for
this batch. To only change the rate for this batch, do NOT press SAVE. To change a rate for this
batch and for all future batches with this recipe, make the change and then press SAVE. The
recipe will be saved with the new rate.
9. Verify the Order that products will be added. If Order needs to be changed, press EDIT at the
bottom of the screen and make the desired changes.
10. Press on Field/Weather to enter Grower, Farm, Field, Operator, Crop, Machine, Pest, Temp,
Wind Speed / Direction and Boom Height. These are optional entries, but will add information
to the historical record for each batch. Return to Job Screen.
11. Pressing on EDIT will show the Totes with Rates and Load Order. Pressing on any blue box will
do the same thing.
12. Press on the arrow under Inv(entory) to verify/update the amount of chemical in the Tote.
13. Prod Rinse: Default and minimum time is 3 seconds; it can be set for more. The product valve
manifold will rinse for this time between every chemical that is loaded.
14. Final Rinse: Default and minimum time is 10 seconds. Longer times may be used. After all
products/chemicals are loaded the product valve manifold will rinse for this amount of time.
15. Verify that Prod Volume and Total Gallons for each product appear reasonable for this batch
and that there is enough product in each tote to complete the batch. See Inv(entory) above.
16. Verify that all tote valves are
in correct position and that all
hoses are connected
properly.
17. When all is ready on the Job
Screen, press RUN to go to

The QuickDraw spray tender system makes the process of tendering your sprayer more efficient
and more accurate, with greater safety. The system provides a historical record of each batch. The
system allows the batching of either 4 or 6 bulk products, depending on which model was
purchased, plus 5 manual products. The QuickDraw controller works together with the iPad app to
simplify the management of your sprayer batches. Configuration of recipes can be handled in
either the QuickDraw controller or on the iPad QuickDraw app. The iPad QuickDraw app is the
preferred method for recipe configuration due to its portable nature and ease of use. The
QuickDraw app communicates with the QuickDraw controller via WIFI. The QuickDraw controller
takes these recipes and automatically handles the calculations and measurements necessary to
complete a batch that ends up in the sprayer. The iPad can be used to start a batch and to
monitor/control the mixing operation. Once a batch is completed, the information for that batch is
logged in the controller. The QuickDraw app can then be used to send the historical information
out of the controller to the iPad.
The QuickDraw manages bulk liquid products automatically. These are products stored in bulk
containers or shuttles. The QuickDraw also calculates the correct amount of manual measured
products in a batch. Manual measured products include small-package liquids, dry flowables, and
powders. Each recipe can include up to 5 manual products.
Mass Meter Description
The QuickDraw takes advantage of mass meter technology to provide accuracy to the spray
tendering system. The mass meter in the QuickDraw uses the Coriolis Effect to determine the
mass and density of the product running through it. This can then be converted to volume and
used for batching a specific volume amount. Other flowmeter technologies have the disadvantage
of being affected by density and/or temperature changes whereas the mass meter accuracy and
repeatability is not affected by changes in viscosity due to temperature and changes in density due
to product differences. In a batching system like the QuickDraw where product is diluted
immediately by loading directly into a carrier stream, calibration is not feasible. The mass meter
allows the QuickDraw to be accurate from product to product and from run to run and from
morning to afternoon without recalibration.
QuickDraw and iPad
The QuickDraw is designed to be used with an iPad. Creating and editing recipes, managing
farms, fields, and products, configuring totes, and setting up batches can all be done on the
QuickDraw controller or the QuickDraw iPad App. The iPad App can be used to start a batch and
to monitor the batch while it is running. Batch history is downloaded to the iPad to be accessible
outside the controller. If an iPad is temporarily unavailable, the QuickDraw controller is fully
functional without the iPad.
Venturi and Pump Suction Configuration
The QuickDraw is available in two configurations, Venturi Suction and Pump Suction. Venturi
Suction is the most common. In Venturi Suction the transfer pump is located on the QuickDraw
inlet. It pushes water across a venturi to create suction which draws chemical products through the
mass meter and into the batch. In a Pump Suction setup, the transfer pump is located on the
Quick Draw outlet. Suction from the pump is utilized to draw chemical products through the mass
meter and into the batch. The Pump Suction setup allows the unit to make smaller batches or
batches with a higher concentration of chemical.
System Overview

396-4412Y1 QuickDraw 3000 Operator’s Manual 7 Revised 02/20/2020
The QuickDraw should only be used with a wet-seal pump.
Valve #1/Tote #1 is a larger valve than the other product valves and should be connected
to the highest volume product or to the thickest, hardest-flowing chemical. Valve #2/ Tote
#2 can also be set up with a large valve option.
It is essential before each batch is run to verify that the recipe being used has the chemicals
matched correctly with the valves they are connected to, as shown on the QuickDraw Run
Screen.
Batches less than 100 gallons may not have time to dispense all the chemicals desired before
the Total Carrier amount has been pumped. The carrier is pumped at approximately 40 gallons
per minute while the products are being dispensed through the Venturi system. Also, batches
that have 35% or more of the batch volume from the chemical products may not complete. The
message Batch Unlikely to Complete, >65% of the Total Batch needs to be carrier in order to
guarantee batch success will display if such a batch is set up. The Pump Suction setup may
sometimes be a better option if small batches or batches with a high concentration of chemical
are needed.
Air Leaks The QuickDraw will not work properly if there are any air leaks in the plumbing on the
suction side of the venturi. Air leaks will create pump priming problems and will cause the flow-
meters to behave erratically. Air leaks can result in inaccurate chemical measurement. It is es-
sential that all hoses and connections be airtight.
Before operating the QuickDraw, the user must be familiar
with the chemical products to be used. Read the label for
each product, understand and follow all precautions for safe
handling, mixing, and application of the products being
used. Wear any required PPE and be prepared to act in the
event of an unintended release of any product.
