SYSTEM STORAGE AND START-UP CHECKLIST

This section provides procedures to maintain the system. There are checks to perform before storing the
equipment and also starting the equipment after long periods without use.

PRESEASON CLEANING AND FLUSHING

The system requires a few steps in addition to your sprayer manufacturer's recommended preseason maintenance
and inspection. To prepare the system:
1. Remove and clean all of the product strainers.
2. Replace the cleaned and dried strainers.
3. Fill the product tank with at least 200 gallons [757 L] of clean water.
4. If the boom tubes have a flush valve at the end, open the flush valves and flush the boom tubes with 100
gallons of clean water.
5. Close the flush valves.
6. Remove all of the spray tips or turn the nozzle bodies to an open position (no tips) and flush the booms with
the remaining water.

START-UP INSPECTION

Follow the inspection instructions in the vehicle specific installation manual. Perform these steps with the key on
without the engine running.
1. Verify that 80 mesh or finer screens are installed upstream of the Hawkeye® 2 NCVs (nozzle control valves).
2. Flush the boom plumbing and tank before running liquid through the Hawkeye® 2 NCVs.
3. Ensure the Hawkeye® 2 NCVs are recognized by the RCM - Sprayer ECU.
If not, repeat the Calibration Wizard. If the RCM - Sprayer ECU is not present on the UT screen, check the
vehicle specific Hawkeye® 2 installation manual to verify the RCM - Sprayer ECU cable harness and vehicle
power cable harnesses are installed correctly.
4. Ensure that the boom and flow meter information have been properly entered into the equipment settings.
5. Ensure the pressure sensor(s) are configured properly.
a. Verify the correct sensor value is entered.
b. Relieve trapped pressure in the boom.
6. Ensure the Min and Max PWM have been entered to match the specific value for the application system.
NOTE: Leaving the min at 0 may cause the control valve to respond slowly while the system builds pressure.
If the max is left at 100, the control valve may reduce pressure slowly.
7. Verify that the boom configuration has been imported into the machine settings. Failure to do this will cause
the boom sections to not be recognized in a job. Virtual sections should show up in boom settings. If properly
