    MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER SUCTION FILTER Located between the tank and spray pump, the suction filter is specifically designed to prevent dirt or impurities from reaching the pump. It has a quick shut -off valve which allows easy filter cleaning, filtering elements changing and/or pump maintenance. FVS - 200 shut-off valve CHEMICAL PUMP The chemical pumps used in the ADVANCE and ADVANCE VORTEX sprayers have capacity ranging from 26.41 to 39.62 gallons per minute at 540 rpm at the PTO.

  • Page 17: Spray Pump

    NOTE: The JSC (JACTO SPRAYER CONTROL) is a flow controller that keeps the spraying vo- lume (L/ha) always constant, regardless of speed fluctuations with or without change in the working gear, besides monitoring the spray application. ATTENTION In order to ensure longer life of the pressure gauge, after calibrating the sprayer, turn off the control, thus releasing the pressure, and close the pressure gauge valve.
  • Page 18 MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER CALIBRATING THE MASTERFLOW SPRAY CONTROL To calibrate the working pressure, proceed as follows: CABLE CONTROL 01 - Engage the PTO and accelerate gradually until reaching 540 rpm. 02 - Set all levers to turn on the chemical flow . (Fig. A) 03 - Turn the pressure regulator clockwise to increase the pressure in the circuit. Turn it coun- terclockwise to decrease the pressure in the circuit.
  • Page 19 MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER 02 - Check if there was fluctuation in the pressure registered on the pressure gauge (60 psi). If so, prodeed as follows: fixing screw - Loosen the fixing screw. pressure - Turn the grip clockwise all the grip gauge way and then counterclockwise (60 psi) to set the pessure gauge needle at 60 psi. -Tighten the fixing screw. Take care not to change the grip position.
