Chapter 3 Installation Preparation - Raven Hawkeye 2 Installation Manual

CHAPTER
3
Perform the following procedure to prepare for the Hawkeye® 2 system installation.
1. Rinse and fill the tank with clean water.
2. Move the equipment to an open area suitable for testing the application system and rinsing the boom
plumbing.
3. Unfold the boom and enable the application control system. Verify that all control hardware (e.g. control valves,
section valves, etc.) and spray tips function as expected.
4. Operate the system until all chemicals are rinsed from the boom supply lines.
5. Disable the application control system and relieve boom pressure.
6. Replace existing carrier line strainer(s) with an 80 mesh (or finer) strainer. An 80 mesh (or finer) strainer is
required for use with the Hawkeye® 2 nozzle control system.
7. Remove the spray tips from the boom and set aside for later use.
NOTE: If turret style nozzle bodies are installed on the implement, the turret may be rotated to an open
spray position, if available. If an open spray position is not available, remove spray tips from a spray
position and set aside for later use.
8. Enable the application control system and run clean water for at least 20 seconds to rinse any remaining debris
from the boom plumbing and nozzle bodies.
9. Remove the cap and diaphragm from the nozzle bodies.
