Page 9: Setup
SETUP The Spray Star 1000 arrives from setup and ready for service. Depending on freight conditions the tires, wheels, and steering wheel 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 owner, assemble and attach the components in accordance with the parts drawings in this manual. -
Page 10: Controls & Instruments
SET UP (CONTINUED) 11. Machine should be greased before starting, refer to Spray Star 1000 Parts/Service Manual for location. 12. Attach the Spray Boom and any other Optional Equipment to the Prime Mover, in accordance with instructions in the Spray Star 1000 Parts/Service Manual. The nozzles must be the correct distance above the turf as described in Turf Spraying Guide. - Page 11 CONTROLS & INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) I. Spray Boss Control - Engages and disengages speed boss.

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 OPERATION (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 15 OPERATION (CONTINUED) 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 16 OPERATION (CONTINUED) 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 18: Spraying Procedure
This section is intended to offer practical guidelines for the distribution of liquid chemicals over an area of turfgrass 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 19: 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. -

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 21: 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 22: The Nozzle Chart Method
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. -
Page 23: The "128" Methood
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 24 THE “128” METHOD OF BOOM SPRAYER CALIBRATION (CONTINUED) 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.
