396-4412Y1 QuickDraw 3000 Operator’s Manual 6 Revised 02/20/2020
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.

Run Screen
RUN SCREEN:
This screen contains all the real-time data that occurs during operation. Each box on the screen represents
one of the shuttles or totes connected to the system. Each shuttle also corresponds with a specific product
valve on the QuickDraw. The numbering of the totes starts in the top left and ends in the lower right tote on
the screen. The corresponding valves on the side of the QuickDraw are valves 1 to 6, starting from the
large valve at the bottom and counting up from there. The tote by itself on the left side shows the carrier
flow information. Press on a tote to bring up the TOTE SETUP SCREEN.
Each tote above has 3 lines of information. The black number in each tote contains the target value for
this batch and is the result of the calculations on the Job Screen. The blue number in each tote contains
the current total value (running total) that has been dispensed for this batch from that tote. This number
will increase as the product in that tote is being dispensed. The system will switch to the next product in the
sequence once the blue number equals the black number. The green number shows the flow rate of the
product into the batch, so it will show how fast the product is added into the batch. The units displayed for
these three numbers are determined by the “Volume Units” selected for that product on the Recipe
screens. So, your prescription or rate/acre could be in oz, but if gallons is selected for volume units, it will
display in gallons here.
At the top of the screen, press the RECIPE box to select a recipe or to create a new recipe.
The left icon on the top row is the FIELD AND WEATHER button. Press this 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.

The final icon on the top row is for the JOB SCREEN. Press this to return to the Job Screen to make
changes for the current batch.
Under the two icons on the top row are the MANUAL PRODUCTS that will be used in this batch.
The bottom of the Run Screen contains the information about the entire batch. The batch id is a
unique number created for every batch that can be used to tie this batch with other data that is
being used elsewhere. Both sets of data can be correlated by using the batch id.
The orange number is the calculated target total batch size for this batch. This will be the final
batch size that is loaded. The black number in the bottom that has the label ACTUAL: will count
up as the batch is running and the batch will complete when it reaches the target.
The pump pressure is shown under PRESSURE and is a monitor-only value for troubleshooting
but does not have any control of the process. The BATCH TIME displays how long the batch took to
complete.
The START button is used to initiate a batch. Once initiated, this button changes from START to
PAUSE. Once the batch is active, pushing the PAUSE will put the process into a paused state. The
pump will continue to run but the valves will be closed. Pushing the PAUSE also causes another
window to pop up that gives you the choice to RESUME, SKIP PRODUCT, or TERMINATE BATCH.
If the batch needs to be terminated, push the TERMINATE button. If the batch is ready to continue,
then push the RESUME button.
When alarms occur, an ALARM
RETRY button appears on the lower right corner of the screen. The alarm also
puts the process into a pause state and closes all valves and shuts off the pump if
the pump supports the auto shutoff. Fix the issue, then start the pump, and push
ALARM RETRY to continue the batch. When an ALARM occurs, there is a 10-
second waiting period before the QD will allow the pump to be restarted. The batch
will pick up from where it was and finish the previously started batch. If the alarm
continues to happen or you are unable to determine the issue, contact your dealer
for technical support. The batch can also be terminated from the alarm state by
pushing the PAUSE button, and then by pressing TERMINATE BATCH.
MANUAL CONTROLS: Press MANUAL CONTROLS to go to the Manual Operation. Individual
valves may be opened and closed here. This is not necessary for normal operation but may provide
useful information for troubleshooting.

396-4412Y1 QuickDraw 3000 Operator’s Manual 13 Revised 02/20/2020
Recipes consist of automated bulk products and manually added products. The automated
bulk products are the products that are connected to the QuickDraw product valves. These products
hook up directly to valves 1-4 or 1-6 depending on the QuickDraw model. The system can pull in
bulk products automatically as long as the total amount required for that product for the batch is
greater than 0.5 gallons on a Venturi (Non-suction) model or 1.0 gallons on a Pump Suction model.
Anything that is in powder form or less than the minimum stated above would be considered a
manually added product. The process will pause when it gets to these products in the cycle and
allow for the operator to use the optional Swing Down eductor system available from SureFire or the
operator can use the inductor system on their sprayer, if available, to add these products to the
batch. When finished adding a manual product, a tap on the screen tells the controller to continue to
the next product). Do not delay in adding the manual products, as carrier is being pumped at 40
GPM during this time. A delay (especially on a small batch) could result in all the carrier being
pumped before all the chemicals are added. If there will be a delay, PAUSE the batch.
The recipe information used to create a batch is as follows.
PRELOAD VOLUME: An amount can be entered here if the operator wishes to preload an amount
of the carrier before any product is loaded. A warning will be generated if the preload amount is too
large for the batch size.
PRODUCT NAME: The name of the product used in the recipe.
RATE: The application rate/acre of each product. The units are set on the Edit Recipe Screen under
Volume Units. The Rate can be changed here for a particular batch.
ORDER: This is the order that the products get loaded (as determined by the operator). Products
are set up in the recipe based on which valve they are hooked up to (i.e. Product 1 is Valve 1,
Product 2 is Valve 2 etc). Products do not have to be loaded in valve order. The load order is set on
the Recipe screen by the operator and products can be loaded in any order, regardless of valve
number, or regardless of whether it is an Automatic or Manual product. This allows the recipe to call
for a manual product first and then go through the bulk automated products and then back to a
manual product again or load them in any order the operator chooses.
PRODUCT VOLUME: This column displays the amount of product necessary in the selected
totalizer units for that product. This is calculated by taking the number of acres times the rate
entered and then converting from the rate units to the totalizer units. For example, if the rate is 32
Oz/Acre, the batch size is 100 Acres, and the totalizing units for the product is in gallons, then the
product volume is 32(oz/acre) * 100(acre) / (128 oz/gal) = 25 gal
TOTAL: This column shows the total amount needed for this batch for this product in the total batch
units (either gal or liters). For example, if a batch needs 200 pts of product, then the total will read
25 GAL (200 / 8 = 25).
PROD(UCT) RINSE (TIME): This sets the rinse time before each product is batched. If this is set to
3 seconds, the rinse valve will be open for 3 seconds prior to the product valve opening which will
rinse the common header for that time period. The default and minimum time is 3 seconds.
FINAL RINSE sets a final post rinse time (default and minimum is 10 sec). When the last product
has been completely batched, the rinse valve will remain open to make sure all products are rinsed
out of the system.

396-4412Y1 QuickDraw 3000 Operator’s Manual 14 Revised 02/20/2020
Calculation Mode: The information entered on the screen is used to calculate the size of the batch from
the recipe that was loaded. There are 4 different ways to calculate batches that can be chosen from the
drop-down menu, and they are as follows.
Volume and Application Rate: This setting will be used when filling the sprayer tank full. This uses
the Total Volume box and the App(lication) Rate box to come up with the number of acres
needed for this batch. Then all the product amounts are calculated. From this information, the
carrier amount is determined by subtracting all the product amounts from the total gallons.
Acres and Application Rate: Use this mode when spraying a known area requiring less than a full
sprayer tank. This uses the Total Acres box and the App(lication) Rate box to calculate how
many gallons of product are necessary. Then the number of acres is used to calculate how
much of each product is needed for this batch. From this information, the carrier amount is
determined by subtracting all the product amounts from the total gallons.
Individual Volume: This method does no math. The total amount of each product that needs
batched is entered into the column where the rate is normally entered. This amount is entered in
the units set up by the Total column. The batch will still be automatically batched out, but the
controller does no math on the batch.
Area and Carrier Rate: This uses the carrier rate box and the acres box. This mode is used if you
want to specify how much carrier is going to be applied per acre instead of specifying the overall
application rate. The application rate that gets entered into the sprayer is calculated in this case
instead of set.
Edit Recipe: The only things that can be changed on the Job Screen are the items in the white boxes.
Rate (for each product), Calculation Mode, and Calculation Variables (Total Acres, App Rate, Total
Volume) can be changed on the Job Screen. To change other variables, press EDIT. Changes made on
the Job Screen apply only to the current job and are not permanent changes to the recipe unless SAVE
is pressed. Changes made on the EDIT screen will be for the current batch only unless SAVE is
pressed. Permanent changes to the recipe will only be saved by pressing SAVE.
DUPLICATE: Use this to modify a base recipe with minor changes. The original recipe will remain
intact. A new recipe with “DUP” added to the name will be started. The name can be edited and
changes can be made to the recipe. Press SAVE when finished.
Run: Returns user to the RUN screen (does not start the batch)
Note on Individual Volume: This can be used to finish off a batch or top it off if something isn’t right. If
more chemical is needed, set that amount of chemical in the Rate column, set Preload Vol at 0. Enter an
amount for the Carrier. Start the batch. As soon as the product is mixed in, press PAUSE, and terminate
the batch. That will get the chemical added with as little water as possible.
If more water is needed, set the Rate on all the products to 0, and enter the amount of water desired in
the Carrier: Water column. Run this batch to add the extra water.
