Agitation; Spray Application - Goldacres Crop Cruiser G6 Operator's Manual

Agitation

TO AGITATE WHILE STATIONARY
1. Add 20 percent of the main tank's volume in
fresh water to the main tank.
2. Add all chemicals.
3. Add the remaining quantity of water required.
4. Turn the 3 way ball valve to Bypass, and ensure
suction handle is on 'Suction Main Tank'.
5. Turn the agitator on.
6. Turn the spray pump on. Check to ensure that
the Supermix agitator is working. There should
be a visible circulation of water near the back of
the tank near the agitator.

Spray Application

After completing the filling process, you are now
ready to start spraying. While travelling from the
fill station to the field, the pump should be running
at 4200-4400 rpm on standard fitment centrifugal
pump or 400-540 rpm on optional fitment
diaphragm pump with the agitator running in order
to ensure that the chemical mix is adequately
agitated prior to spraying.
NOTE: The following information is provided as a
guide only. It is the responsibility of the operator to
assess the conditions in the field where the spray
application is taking place
NOTE: The main pressure station ball valve must be
in the bypass (spray mode) position.
1. Enter the field, unfold boom and set the boom to
desired height above the target and have pump
running.
2. Switch on the console and set to run in self test
mode (while stationary). Information on running
in self test mode can be found in the spray
controller operators manual supplied.
3. Turn on all boom sections
4. Purge all boom lines with product from the main
tank. (If RapidFlow is fitted, then switch on for
approx 2 minutes)
5. Switch off all boom sections.

7. If the tank has been filled and the spray mixture
has been allowed to settle, agitate for as long
as it takes the pump to pump the quantity of
water in the tank. For example: with 6000 litres
in the tank with a 400 L/min pump agitate for
6000/400 = 15 minutes.
TO AGITATE WHILE SPRAYING
Have the bypass ball valve and agitator ball valves
OPEN.
NOTE: The bypass ball valve must be open while
spraying.
6. Commence travel on primary swathe and engage
boom master switch. Auto rate controller will
now control application based on the calibration
information entered by the operator.
7. To avoid overlap it is recommended that
individual boom section switches are used to turn
on/off sections as needed.
8. When you have completed the task at hand,
please follow the flushing instructions to ensure
that all plumbing is flushed.
