Angling of Air and Spray Liquid - Rules of Thumb

To control wind drift, the influence of wind speed and wind direction as well as the horizontal air current around the boom
due to forward speed must be minimised. The following can only be very rough guidelines, because the wind drift is a sum
of two forces with variable direction and size that need to be counteracted.
Angling of Air System
Angle the air system to counteract for the wind direction and high
driving speeds.
• Angling the air system forwards: Up to 40°.
• Angling the air system backwards: Up to 30°.
No angling (neutral setting): 0° = the spray nozzles points vertically
towards the ground.
The angle between the spray nozzles (A) and air channel (B) is fixed.
Wind Direction
• Head wind: Angle the air stream forward.
• Down wind: Angle the air stream backwards (if the forward speed
is higher than the wind speed: angle forward).
• Side wind/no wind: Angle the air stream vertically or backwards.
Only high driving speeds may require forward angling.
