Agitation
TO AGITATE WHILE STATIONARY
1.
Add 20 percent of the main tank's volume in
fresh water to the main tank.
2.
Add all chemicals.
3.
Add the remaining quantity of water required.
4.
Turn the agitator on with the pump at operating
speed.
NOTE: Check that the super mix agitator is working;
there should be a visible circulation of water near
the back of the tank near the agitator.
Auto Rate Control - Spray Application
After completing the filling process, you are now
ready to start spraying. While travelling from the fill
station to the field, the pump should be running at
400 - 500 rpm with the agitator running in order to
ensure that the chemical mix is adequately agitated
prior to spraying.
NOTE: The following information is provided as a
guide only. It is the responsibility of the operator to
assess the conditions in the field where the spray
application is taking place
NOTE: The bypass ball valve must be open while
spraying.
1. Enter the field, unfold boom and set the boom to
desired height above the target and have pump
running.
2. Switch on the console and set to run in self test
mode (while stationary). Information on running
in self test mode can be found in the Raven
operator's manual supplied.
3. Turn on all boom sections
4. Remain stationary until all boom lines have been
completely purged with product from the main
tank.
5. Switch off all boom sections.
6. Commence travel on primary swathe and engage
boom master switch. Auto rate controller will
now control application based on the calibration
information entered by the operator.
7. To avoid overlap it is recommended that
individual boom section switches are used to turn
on/off sections as needed.

5. If the tank has been filled and the spray mixture
has been allowed to settle, agitate for as long as it
takes the pump to pump the quantity of water in
the tank. For example: with 3000 litres in the tank
with a 170 L/min pump agitate for 3000/170 = 18
minutes.
TO AGITATE WHILE SPRAYING
Have the bypass ball valve and agitator ball valves
OPEN.
NOTE: The bypass ball valve must be open while
spraying.
8. Upon completing the spray task, the booms
and pump should be flushed after spraying. See
'Flushing' section later in this chapter.
