Page 9: Set Up
SET UP The Model 1600P Prime Mover arrives from setup and ready for service. Depending on freight conditions the tires, wheels and steering wheel may need to be installed. The spray system is normally shipped attached to the 1600P Prime Mover. If a spray system is to be retrofit- ted to a 1600P Prime Mover by a dealer or owner, assemble and attach the components in accordance with the parts drawings in the Spray Star 1600P Parts/Service Manual. - Page 10 SET UP (CONTINUED) 10. Check brake fluid in master cylinder by removing round plug on floorboard. Add brake fluid if neces- sary. DOT 3. 11. Check hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic power unit is located between the engine and the spray tank on the left hand side.

Page 11: Controls & Instruments
CONTROLS & INSTRUMENTS A. Oil Light: The Oil Light should come on when the ignition is on, without the engine running and should go out when the engine is running. The Oil Light will light when the oil pressure is low. If it does come on, shut off the engine and find the cause immediately. - Page 12 CONTROLS & INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) CONTROL PANEL Located on right side of seat. The following are located on or near the control panel. A. Choke: Pull out choke when starting cold engine, push in when engine starts. B. Ground Speed: The Ground speed control is a device that limits the accelerator movement at the engine.
- Page 13 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Before operating the Spray Star 1600P, become familiar with all controls and functions. Also complete all main- tenance requirements and read all safety warnings. Knowing the Spray Star 1600P thoroughly, how it oper- ates, and by doing the prescribed maintenance steps, you can expect trouble free operation for years to come.
- Page 14 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED) Before using the Spray Star, the operator or spray technician must familiarize themselves with all of the infor- mation on chemical spraying contained in Spraying Procedure of this manual. All testing and calibration of sprayers is to be done with water, not chemicals. This insures the safety to all involved in performing the calibration operation.
- Page 15 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED) SPRAYER VALVE SETTINGS AND SPRAY TANK AGITATION The gate valve on the suction side of the pump, between the tank and the pump must be open before pump is engaged. Close this valve only when necessary to clean the filter with spray material in the spray tank. There are two manual flow control valves on the discharge side of the spray system.
- Page 16 CALIBRATING THE PRESSURE GAUGE The pressure tap on the Raven Sprayer Control system is located away from the nozzles, thus, there can be a pressure difference between nozzle pressure and gauge pressure at the console. Therefore, for best results, Raven recommends the following procedure: 1.

Page 17: Operation
SPRAY OPERATION (CONTINUED) In some extreme situations, it may be necessary to decrease or completely close the flow of material to the agitator system in order to maintain desired pressure. If agitation is absolutely essential, a change may have to be made in some combination of ground speed, nozzle size or system pressure to maintain the necessary application rate. -

Page 20: Spraying Procedure
This section is intended to offer practical guidelines for the distribution of liquid chemicals over an area of turf grass such as golf courses, park land, school grounds and lawns. SMITHCO makes no representation as to the suitability of any technique or product for any particular situation. This section is suitable for self-propelled spray vehicles or sprayers mounted onto vehicles. -
Page 21: Hose & Handgun Spraying
HOSE & HANDGUN SPRAYING A handgun (hand-nozzle or hand-lance) is used to control and direct the spray pattern to the ground, shrub or tree. They must be constructed of long lasting and noncorrosive materials such as brass, stainless or alumi- num. -

NOZZLES (CONTINUED) 3. Disperse the material in a specific pattern that will insure even distribution of chemical across the swath covered by the boom. As shown (to the right) the pattern formed by flat fan (TeeJet) nozzles would show most liquid concentrated at the center, then tapering off where it begins to overlap with the next nozzle- approximately... -
Page 23: Calibration Introduction
CALIBRATION INTRODUCTION Calibrating simply means to adjust a set of variables on the sprayer in order to deliver the desired amount of chemical to a known area of turf. The job of calibrating the sprayer consists of balancing these variables so that your sprayer delivers the desired application rate. -
Page 24: The Nozzle Chart Method Of Calibration
THE NOZZLE CHART METHOD OF CALIBRATION The Nozzle Chart Method is useful when the sprayer nozzles are new or nearly new. It is also the most useful method to employ when the sprayer is equipped with an Electronic Spray Control System. The Electronic Spray Control System does most of the calibration work, it is up to the operator to select the proper combina- tion of nozzle size and ground speed which will deliver the desired application rate. -

THE NOZZLE CHART METHOD OF CALIBRATION ( CONTINUED) 5. For Sprayer with Electronic Spray Control Systems. On sprayers equipped with Electronic Spray Control Systems such as those manufactured by Raven Ind., Micro-Trak Co. and Dickey-John Co., it is still important to select the right type and size of nozzle for the required operation. - Page 26 THE “128” METHOD OF BOOM SPRAYER CALIBRATION The carrying or towing vehicle is to be traveling at the desired speed when it crosses the start line of the measured course. Repeat this procedure and determine the average of the two times. 3.
