flat fan nozzle Positioning a nozzle: - The proper position of the nozzle is at 90º (vertical) in relation to the boom. To use the other nozzle, just turn the nozzle holder (1) 180º. Shutting a nozzle: - Just turn the nozzle holder to set both nozzles parallel to the boom (in the horizontal).
Positioning a nozzle: - Loosen the nut (1) with two turns. Position the chosen nozzle and retighten the nut. Shutting a nozzle: - Loosen the nut (1) with two turns and turn the nozzle holder to 45º. Retighten the nut..
NOZZLES
The nozzles have the function to generate droplets and distribute them uniformly over the area being sprayed. Flow, angle and droplets size vary according to the working pressure, normally expressed in psi or kgf/cm². Operating with pressure over that recommended by the manufacturer will decrease the nozzle's life, besides increasing drift and environmental contamination. The nozzles used in this sprayer are made of ceramic, a material very resistant to wear and chemical action. The nozzles are mounted as shown in the figures below. CONE NOZZLE: This nozzle is fitted into the nozzle holder through a scew nozzle cap, which fact allows to use it at high pressures. cap cone nozzle
FLAT FAN NOZZLE: This nozzle is fitted into the nozzle holder through a quick fitting cap for more practicability in eventual maintenance, which fact allows to use it at pressure of up to 7 kgf/pol² (100 psi).

MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER CHEMICAL CONTAINER RINSE NOZZLE
The chemical container rinse nozzle is mounted to the chemicals mixer and is specifically designed to remove all chemical residues from the container after preparing the chemical mixture for a secure disposal of such containers. On the COLUMBIA AD-18 sprayer, the water used to rinse these containers comes from an auxiliary 100-liter tank, without contact with the water used in the spray tank. Some publications show that somewhere around 0.3% of the chemicals remains in the container after being used. Therefore discarding the containers without washing out the residues is extremely dangerous to man, animals and environment. Rinse the chemical containers right after using them, before the residues dry.
chemical container rinse nozzle
ATTENTION Never operate the red lever without a container over the rinse nozzle.
Red lever: Chemical container rinse nozzle: Black lever: Chemical mixer rinse
As the rinse nozzle rotates, the people standing around the sprayer can get wet.
ATTENTION - Each container should be rinsed at least three times to ensure the residues are completely removed. - Watch out for sprinkling while rinsing the containers. Use protective clothing. - After rinsing properly the empty chemical containers, dispose of them in an appropriate place. - Never leave empty chemical containers anywhere, that is, in places where any untrained person has access to . - Prepare an appropriate place for storing empty chemical containers where only trained person has access to until having determined the final destination for them. - Do not reuse the chemical containers for any other purpose, whatever it may be. - Always follow the technical recommendation and use the appropriate individual protective clothing when handling chemicals.
22

LOW PRESSURE GAUGE KIT (OPTIONAL)
The low pressure gauge kit was designed for checking the actual pressure on the nozzles. It can be installed on the sprayers assembled with both universal nozzle caps and fittings and complex nozzle holders, such as double and quadruple units.
GENERAL CARE WITH THE LOW PRESSURE GAUGE KIT The maximum pressure of thi s kit i s 100 psi. The pressure regulators of sprayers can easily reach above 100 psi pressures, what can damage the pressure gauges. MASTERMARK FOAM MARK ER (OPTIONAL) The Mastermark foam marker is a device designed to mark off the spraying band with foam flocks spaced at 1-2 meters. The ideal conditions to use the foam marker are the same as those appropriate to make spray applications, that is: - Cooler times. - No dry or strong winds. compressor

ATTENTION Only unfold and fold the booms in level areas away from trees and electricity supply cables. BOOMS POSITION - Through the hydraulic control, actuate the booms angular adjustment cylinder in order to set the booms in a position so as to provide a good, drift-free coverage. SPRAY ANGULAR ADJUSTING CHANNEL This part directs the spray in a way so as to provide a good coverage, even on pre-tillage herbicides applications. The channel must be adjusted in the spraying site, taking into account the folowing factors: - Treatment type (in pre- or post-emergence applications); -Wind speed; -Wind direction.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS SPRAY APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY A successful spray application does not depend only on a good sprayer or correct use of the chemicals but also on factors to be determined in the field under specialized orientation. Among these factors, some concepts should be part of a criterion of evaluation so that positive results may be attained within the pest control program. - Ideal time - Application rate - Safety - Good coverage IDEAL TIME The ideal time for spraying should be chosen according to the chemical product characteristics, as well as to the field conditions: - Infestation level of pests, diseases and weeds; - Infection level of diseases; - Growing stage of weeds; - Weather conditions. SAFETY When spraying your crops, you must make sure there will be no risk to people, animals and environment. Avoid spraying at hotter times, with humidity below 55% or under windy conditions. Do not allow the operator to handle chemicals and spraying machinery without the proper individual protective clothing. CORRECT APPLICATION RATE Any type of application requires that the rate be maintained during the whole spraying work. This will be possible when you have a good sprayer properly calibrated. This calibration can be obtained through practical methods or formulas. Please refer to the section OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS - CALIBRA TING THE SPRAYER. GOOD COVERAGE You have a good coverage when the whole target is sprayed with uniform distribution, with no risk to the environment and with good results in the pest control. The application rate does not have influence on the treatment results. Therefore good coverages can be attained even with different rates, which may vary according to operational and regional factors.
IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW STRICTLY THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CHEMICALS MANUFACTURER'S LABEL. ALWAYS FOLLOW DIRECTIONS OF A TECHNICIAN WHEN HANDLING AND APPLYING CHEMICALS. ALWAYS MAK E SURE THE SPRAYER IS IN GOOD OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS BEFORE STARTING THE SPRAYING JOB AND EMPLOY A WELL TRAINED OPERATOR.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER The safety of people, animals and environment depends on correct spray applications. Therefore, we list below important operational procedures. WHEN HANDLING CHEMICALS
WHEN OPERATING SPRAYERS - Check for the proper working conditions of the sprayer. - Do not blow by mouth nozzles, valves or tubes. - Do not spray against the wind. - Do not spray at sunny times - Use individual protective clothing recommended - Do not eat, drink or smoke.
- Follow strictly the instructions on the labels. - Use individual protective clothing. - Do not eat, drink or smoke. - Choose a ventilated place. - Wash with water and soap the parts of the body touched by chemicals.
REMEMBER! You are responsi ble for the success of th e application.
CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER The sprayer can be calibrated through the formula below or through the calibrator bottle as shown in the next page. CALCULATING THE SPRAYING VOLUME
F x 600 V = S x A ( L/ha )
Where: V : Spraying volume (L/ha) F : Nozzle flow rate (L/min) A : Nozzle spacing (m) S : Tractor speed (km/h) 600 : Conversion unit EXAMPLE:
Nozzle flo w rate .............................. 1.0 L /min at 150 psi (JA-2 nozzle) Nozzle spacing ...............................0.5 m Working speed ...............................6.0 km/h
F x 600 V = S . A (L/ha)
1 x 600 V = 6 x 0.5 (L/ha)
V=
600 3
ATTENTION The numbers show n in the above example are illustrative.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS CALIB RATING THE SPRAYER WITH THE CALIB RATOR BOTTLE BEFORE CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER BE SURE: - suction filter is clean. - hoses are not twisted or bored. - pressure regulator components (valve seat, valve and spring) are not worn or dirty. - pump is properly lubricated (oil level and grease) and has no leakage. - nozzles are of the same model, not worn, with correct flow rate and with clean strainers. AFTER CHECKING, PROCEED TO CALIBRA TE AS FOLLOWS 1 - Mark off 50 meters on the ground to be sprayer. 2 - Fill up the sprayer. 3 - Choose the working gear. 4 - Engage the PTO. 5 - Accelerate until reaching 540 rpm at the PTO. 6 -Start moving at least 5 meters before the initial mark 7 - Note the time it takes the tractor to move 50 meters. 8 - On irregular ground, repeat this operation several times and take the average. 9 - Stop the tractor with the acceleration used to move the 50 meters, open the nozzle and adjust the pressure according to directions for the different types of nozzles: - Cone nozzles - from 45 to 200 psi - Flat fan nozzle- from 15 to 60 lbf/psi 10 - Use the calibrator bottle to collect the nozzle spray volume during the same time taken to move the 50 meters, and read on the column corresponding to the nozzle spacing. 11 - Repeat this operation with several nozzles to obtain an average volume. 12 -The average obtained will be the spray volume for the gear and pressure already determined.
NOTE: 1-If the spray volume obtained is below that wished, increase the pressure, decrease the speed (but keep 540 rpm at PTO) or replace the nozzles by others of higher flow rate. 2-If the spray volume is above that wished, decrease the pressure, increase the speed (but keep 540 rpm at PTO) or replace the nozzles by others of lower flow rate.

PROBLEMS CAUSES CORRECTIONS Whenever Jacto sprayers equippedwith piston pumps present problems, try to classifiy them in one of the following four groups. a) LACK OF SUCTION AND PUMPING CAPACITY
No liquid flow through the nozzles. No return to the tank. Pressure gauge does not indicate pressure. b) PRESSURE DEFICIENCY
normal pressure
(PARTIAL LACK OF PRESSURE) Desired pressure is not attained. Specified nozzle spraying angle is not attained. Pressure gauge shows lower pressure.
deficient pressure
d) INTERMITTENT PRESSURE
The pressure gauge needle vibrates with intensity. The pressure hoses vibrate with intensity. The nozzles spraying angle varies.
c) PRESSURE OSCILL ATION
The pressure gauge needle oscillates. The nozzle spraying angle oscillates.
62
MAINTENANCE TROUBLE-SHOOTING a- LACK OF SUCTION AND PUMPING CAPACITY PROBABLECAUSES 1- PTO not turning.
2- Lack of water in the tank.
SOLUTIONS The sprayer should be run with 540 rpm at PTO. Check visually whether the pump is being run. To run the hydraulic system, it is necessary to contain a minimum quantity of liquid, otherwise there will be no pressure.
3- Filter shut-off valve closed.
When the pump runs, liquid will pass through the valve even in the closed position, however it will be insufficient. Open it.
4- Dirty filter.
Impurities in the filter prevent a free liquid flow. Clean the filter whenever filling the tank, or with more frequency depending on the quality of the water and the type of product applied.
5- Obstruction in the intake hoses.
6- Air in the system.
Check whether the hose connecting the filter to the pump is twisted. Check whether there is any obstruction in the hoses from tank to filter. Fill up the tank with water, open the valve and verify if it flows freely. Check the filter packing ring. The filter should not leak. Remove the cover of the suction valves.
7- Bomba não está succionando.
Check the condition of the valves and replace them if necessary.
b - PRESSURE DEFICIENCY PROBABLECAUSES
SOLUTIONS
1- Low PTO rpm.
The proper PTO rotation is 540 rpm.
2- Filter shut-off valve closed.
When the pumps runs, liquid will pass through the valve even in the closed position, however flow will be insuficient.
3- Filter partially obstructed.
The filter should be clean to allow free liquid flow.
4- Intake hose partially obstructed.
A deficient pump will cause depressurization. Check whether the hose connecting the filter to the pump is twisted. Verify whether there is any obstruction in the hoses connecting the tank to the filter. Fill the tank with water, open the valve and observe if it flows freely.
5- Air in the system.
Check the connections and the o'rings of the tank outlet and the pump inlet.
6- Pressure regulator.
Check the valve and valve seat.
7- Worn nozzles.
Check whether the nozzle flow is within the recommended guidelines. Replace the nozzles when the flow rate exceeds 10% of the specified. Use only nozzles recommended by the sprayer manufacturer.
