Set the Flow Rate
The flow rate from the AU8115MS can be controlled either by the use of an
adjustable restrictor valve or by interchangeable in-line orifice restrictor plates. The
orifice restrictor plates should only be used when the sprayer will remain set to a
constant flow rate for a long period. The adjustable restrictor valve should used
when frequent changes of flow rate are required as it eliminates the need to
disconnect pipe fittings and the consequent risk of exposure to pesticide.
To set the flow rate:
1.
Park the vehicle facing into the wind with the spray head downwind so as to
minimise operator contamination.
2.
Ensure the drain valve is closed and the main tank valve open.
3.
Put at least 10 litres of the actual pesticide to be used into the main tank.
4.
Place a clean bucket directly underneath the atomiser to collect spray liquid.
5.
Referring to the table below, either select the orifice restrictor plate that gives
the flow rate closest to that required and fit it in the outlet of the flow regulator
valve or adjust the setting of the restrictor valve to a position that gives the flow
rate closest to that required. If using orifice restrictor plates, the restrictor valve
MUST be set to the fully open position for both calibration and spraying. Note
that the values given in the tables are for light oil. Actual flow rates will vary
according to the pesticide used and its viscosity. The flow rate must always be
measured with the actual product to be sprayed.
