Page 9: Setup
SETUP Smithco The Spray Star 1000 arrives from setup and ready for service. Depending on freight conditions the battery may have to be installed. The spray system is normally shipped attached to the 1000 Prime Mover. If a spray system is to be fitted to a Prime Mover by a dealer or end user, assemble and attach the components in accordance with the parts draw- ings in the Spray Star 1000 Parts/Service Manual. - Page 10 CONTROLS $ INSTRUCMENTS A. Hour Meter - The hour meter indicates hours of machine operation. It operates only when the ignition switch is on. Speedometer - The Speedometer indicates ground speed of the vehicle in miles per hour and kilometers per hour.

CONTROLS & INSTRUMENTS N. Spray Boss Control - Engages and disengages speed boss. Forward is engage and all the way back is disengage. When the lever is engaged it sets a stop for the accelerator. The accelerator pedal must be used to maintain this speed. To adjust speed use the knob on the end of the lever, counter clockwise increases speed and clockwise decreases speed. -
Page 12: Operation
OPERATION Before operating the Spray Star 1000, become familiar with all controls and functions. Also complete all mainte- nance requirements and read all safety warnings. Knowing the Spray Star 1000 thoroughly, how it operates, and by doing the prescribed maintenance steps, you can expect trouble free operation for years to come. SAFETY Safety needs to always be the concern of an operator of a moving vehicle or any machine with moving parts. - Page 13 OPERATION (CONTINUED) Before using the Spray Star, the operator and spray technician must familiarize themselves with all of the information on chemical spraying contained in the Turf Spray Guide. All testing and calibrating of sprayers is to be done with water, not chemicals. This insures the safety to all involved in performing the calibration operation.

Page 14: Console Features
CONSOLE FEATURES This Console (PGM F) requires selection of US (acres); SI (hectares) or TU (1,000 sq ft) area and SP2 (radar speed sensor). Hold SELF TEST key to view selection A. POWER - Turns Console power OFF or ON. Turning Console OFF does not affect the data stored in the computer. -
Page 15: Console Calibration
CONSOLE CALIBRATION CALCULATING “BOOM CAL” (BOOM 1, BOOM 2, BOOM 3) Calculate the width of each boom in inches (centimeters) by multiplying the number of tips times the spacing. Write these boom widths down for future reference when programming the Console computer. The Console is capable of controlling up to three (3) booms. -
Page 16: Console Programming
CONSOLE CALIBRATION (CONTINUED) CALCULATING "RATE 1 AND RATE 2 CAL" Determine the application rate at which your chemical should be sprayed. Consult with your Dealer to insure your spray nozzles are capable of applying at this target rate. Using CAPACITY = .35 GPM (1.67 lit/min) and pressure = 30 PSI (20 bar) you would select tip number XR11004 from the Nozzle Charts Section, since it comes closest to providing the desired output. - Page 17 INITIAL PROGRAMMING OF CONSOLE COMPUTER When you first turn on Console power, after all installation procedures have been completed, the Console will flash “CAL” in the RATE display and “US” in the DATA display. This means you must “calibrate” or program the Console before it can be operated.

Page 21: Spray Operation
SPRAY OPERATION (After Proper Setup and Calibration) 1. Add the amount of water required for the spray operation to tank using air gap filler. 2. Start engine, set engine speed below 2000 RPM, and engage pump after taking all previously described safety and operation precautions. - Page 22 SPRAY OPERATION One of the most common causes for faulty-pump performance is corrosion inside the pump. Flush the pump and entire system with a solution that will chemically neutralize the liquid pumped. Mix according to manufacturer’s directions. This will dissolve most residue remaining in the pump, leaving the inside of the pump clean for the next use.

Page 23: Spraying Procedure
SPRAYING INTRODUCTION This section is intended to offer practical guidelines for the distribution of liquid chemicals over an area of Smithco turfgrass such as golf courses, park land, school grounds and lawns. 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 24: 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 aluminum. The handgun fits to a hose of any length from the sprayer allowing operator mobility. -
Page 25: Nozzles
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 concen- trated at the center, then tapering off where it begins to overlap with the next nozzle-approximately . -
Page 26: 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 27 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 combination of nozzle size and ground speed which will deliver the desired application rate.

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 29: The "128" Method Of Boom Sprayer Calibration
