Cut a piece of hose to fit between the splitter and the furthest manifold. According to the manifold assembly instructions, all other hoses should be cut the same length as your longest hose. Failing to do so will distribute NH3 unevenly to each manifold, which will result in streaking. - Page 5 Q. Why are people using smaller EVA hose from their manifolds to the ground? What are the advantages? A. Smaller diameter EVA hose will increase the pressure in the lines. This will keep the NH3 liquid for longer which will cause less frost. The increase in pressure will also prevent tubes from plugging up.

Q. Do hoses from the manifolds to the ground have to be uniform in length? A. Yes. Failing to do so will distribute NH3 unevenly to each run, which will result in streaking. Q. Can I plug my splitter ports? A. -

Q. Why does my Raven Accuflow have 2 valves? Why is this advantageous? A. The first valve is a control valve which regulates what rate you are applying NH3 at. The second valve is an on/off valve that allows you to quickly stop or start applying NH3. The advantage of having two valves is that when you turn the system off or on, the valve that controls your rate does not move, and will not have to “search”... -

RAVEN 440 CONSOLE QUICK SET - UP GUIDE Note: A tutorial also available on DyTerra’s YouTube Channel When the console is powered up for the first time it will flash CAL and US VOLUME PER ACRE. This means the console must be programmed before operation. - Page 19 Additional: To learn about other settings like the SELF TEST and AUTOMATIC RATE +/- please see pages 18 and 19 in the 440 console manual. Also NH3 Calibration setting for the Valve Cal, Meter Cal, Speed Cal, Boom Cal, are all found in the Installation and Operation Manual for the AccuFlow System.

9. If the valve will not turn while holding the Increase/Decrease Switch, replace the valve. 3. Are you still having issues? The flow of NH3 through your metering system is solely controlled by tank pressure. When applying in colder temperatures, tank pressure will drop. If tank pressure drops too low, your cooler will be starved for product, which causes rates to fluctuate. - Page 21 Fig. 2 PROCEDURE TO TEST FLOW METER CABLES: 1. Disconnect cable from flow sensor. 2. Hold flow sensor cable so that the keyway is pointing to the 12 o’ c lock position: KEYWAY 10 O'CLOCK 2 O'CLOCK 6 O'CLOCK PIN DESIGNATIONS 2 o’...
