3.
Use Micronair blade adjustment tool EX4420 or a pair of pliers with cloth
wrapped around the jaws to adjust the fan blade so that the correct setting
mark aligns with the split line of the hub.
4.
Repeat steps 2 & 3 for each of the four fan blades.
IMPORTANT: all four fan blades must be set to the same angle.
If necessary the atomiser speed can be checked with a hand-held optical or contact
type tachometer.

7. SPRAYING PROCEDURE

1.
Before starting to spray, the vehicle must be correctly positioned relative to the
target. If the vehicle is to be stationary, it must be parked upwind of the target
area with the spray head facing in the downwind direction. The spray head
should be raised, lowered or moved sideways in its adjustable mounting as
required.
2.
If the vehicle will be moving whilst spraying, it must be driven upwind of the
target and in a direction at 90˚ to the wind. The spray head should be angled
upwards to achieve maximum effective release height and a wide swath or it
should be angled downwards for a narrow swath closer to the vehicle (see
section 6 Calibration).
3.
When in the spray area, start the engine of the sprayer and then set the throttle
to the IDLE position.
4.
When ready to start spraying, first set the engine throttle control to MAX and
then switch on the pump.
5.
To stop spraying, first switch off the pump and then set the engine throttle control
to IDLE.
6.
At the end of the spraying operation allow the engine to idle for 1 minute before
switching the engine switch to OFF. The engine switch should be left in the
OFF position when the sprayer is not in use.
