Page 9: Set Up
The Model 1600H Prime Mover arrives from conditions the tires, wheels and steering wheel may need to be installed. The spray system is normally shipped attached to the 1600H Prime Mover. If a spray system is to be retrofitted to a 1600H Prime Mover by a dealer or owner, assemble and attach the components in accordance with the parts drawings in the Spray Star 1600H Parts/Service Manual. - Page 10 SET UP (CONTINUED) 10. Check brake fluid in master cylinder by removing round plug on floorboard. Add brake fluid if necessary. DOT 3. 11. Check hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic oil tank is on the right side. Fluid level should be 2 to 2 6.04cm) from the top of tank when cold.

Page 11: Controls & Instruments
A. Oil Light: The oil light should come on when the ignition is on, without the engine running and should go out when the engine is running. The oil light will light when the oil pressure is low. If it does come on, shut off the engine and find the cause immediately. - Page 12 CONTROLS & INSTRUMENTS CONTROL PANEL Located on right side of seat.

Page 13: Machine Operation Instructions
Before operating the Spray Star 1600H, become familiar with all controls and functions. Also complete all main- tenance requirements and read all safety warnings. Knowing the Spray Star 1600H thoroughly, how it operates, and by doing the prescribed maintenance steps, you can expect trouble free operation for years to come. SAFETY Safety needs to always be the concern of an operator of a moving vehicle or any machine with moving parts. -
Page 14: Operation
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Before using the Spray Star, the operator or spray technician must familiarize themselves with all of the infor- mation on chemical spraying contained in Spraying Procedure of this manual. All testing and calibration of sprayers is to be done with water, not chemicals. This insures the safety to all involved in performing the calibration operation. - Page 15 SPRAYER VALVE SETTINGS AND SPRAY TANK AGITATION The gate 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 valves on the discharge side of the spray system.

Page 16: Console Features
CONSOLE FEATURES This Console (PGM F) requires selection of US (acres); SI (hectares) or TU (1,000 sq ft) area and SP1 (wheel drive, etc). A. POWER - Turns Console power OFF or ON. Turning Console OFF does not affect the data stored in the computer. -
Page 17: Console Programming
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. 3. Depress the keys corresponding to the number you wish to enter (i.e. - Page 18 (CONTINUED) (CONTINUED) CONSOLE CALIBRATION (CONTINUED) (CONTINUED) (CONTINUED) 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.

Page 19: Initial Programming Of Console Computer
When you first turn on Console power, after all installation procedures have been completed, the Console will flash “CAL” in the RATE display and “US” in the DATA display. This means you must “calibrate” or program the Console before it can be operated. (This is a one time operation which does not have to be repeated unless you disconnect your battery wires. - Page 20 INITIAL PROGRAMMING OF CONSOLE COMPUTER 8. Enter SPEED CAL of 612 in key labeled: 9. Enter METER CAL calibration number in key labeled: 10. Enter VALVE CAL calibration number (2123) in key labeled: 11. Enter the target RATE 1 (GPA) (lit/ha) (GPK) you want to spray in the key labeled: 12.

INITIAL PROGRAMMING OF CONSOLE COMPUTER 6. To display SPEED, momentarily depress the key labeled: 7. To display VOL/MIN., momentarily depress the key labeled: 8. To display AREA/HOUR, momentarily depress key labeled: HOUR at the present speed you are going. It is not an average over time. 9. - Page 22 INITIAL PROGRAMMING OF CONSOLE COMPUTER ENTER MODE SEQUENCE WITH ACTIVATED DATA-LOCK 1. Depress the key into which you wish to enter data. 2. Depress CODE message will appear. Enter your DATA-LOCK CODE. If code is correct, “E” will appear. Now enter data normally. The DATA-LOCK feature prohibits the entry of data without first entering the DATA-LOCK CODE.

If actual volume Per minute falls below this limit, the Control Valve stops closing, the Alarm sounds and the rate display flashes “LL”. -
Page 24: Console Field Test
CONSOLE FIELD TEST 1. Drive down field or road at target speed with sprayer booms off, to verify SPEED readout on Console. 2. Turn on sprayer and booms and place the RATE 1/RATE 2/MAN switch to RATE 1. Increase or decrease speed by one MPH (2 kph). -
Page 25: Spray Operation
TO PREVENT CORROSION After cleaning the pump as directed, flush it with a permanent type automobile antifreeze (Prestone, Zerex, etc.) containing a rust inhibitor. Use a 50% solution that is, half antifreeze and half water. Then coat the interior of the pump with a substance which will prevent corrosion such as Fluid Film or WD40. If unit will not be used for an extended period of time, disconnect hoses into and out of the pump, seal openings to the pump with caps or tape. -
Page 26: Spraying Procedure
SPRAYING INTRODUCTION This section is intended to offer practical guidelines for the distribution of liquid chemicals over an area of turf grass such as golf courses, park land, school grounds and lawns. SMITHCO makes no representation as to the suitability of any technique or product for any particular situation. This section is suitable for self-propelled spray vehicles or sprayers mounted onto vehicles. -
Page 27: Nozzles
A handgun (hand-nozzle or hand-lance) is used to control and direct the spray pattern to the ground, shrub or tree. They must be constructed of long lasting and noncorrosive materials such as brass, stainless or alumi- num. The handgun fits to a hose of any length from the sprayer allowing operator mobility. The hose should be as short as possible while still permitting operator mobility. -
Page 28: Nozzles
NOZZLES ( CONTINUED) 3. Disperse the material in a specific pattern that will insure even distribution of chemical across the swath covered by the boom. As shown (to the right) the pattern formed by flat fan (TeeJet) nozzles would show most liquid concentrated at the center, then tapering off where it begins to overlap with the next nozzle-approxi- mately... -
Page 29: Calibration Introduction
Calibrating simply means to adjust a set of variables on the sprayer in order to deliver the desired amount of chemical to a known area of turf. The job of calibrating the sprayer consists of balancing these variables so that your sprayer delivers the desired application rate. -
Page 30: The Nozzle Chart Method Of Calibration
THE NOZZLE CHART METHOD OF CALIBRATION The Nozzle Chart Method is useful when the sprayer nozzles are new or nearly new. It is also the most useful method to employ when the sprayer is equipped with an Electronic Spray Control System. The Electronic Spray Control System does most of the calibration work, it is up to the operator to select the proper combination of nozzle size and ground speed which will deliver the desired application rate. -
Page 31: The "128" Method Of Boom Sprayer Calibration
THE NOZZLE CHART METHOD OF CALIBRATION 5. For Sprayer with Electronic Spray Control Systems. On sprayers equipped with Electronic Spray Control Systems such as those manufactured by Raven Ind., Micro-Trak Co. and Dickey-John Co., it is still important to select the right type and size of nozzle for the required operation. -
Page 32: The "128" Method Of Boom Sprayer Calibration
THE “128” METHOD OF BOOM SPRAYER CALIBRATION The carrying or towing vehicle is to be traveling at the desired speed when it crosses the start line of the measured course. Repeat this procedure and determine the average of the two times. 3. -
