RightSpot
RightSpot enables automatic nozzle by nozzle swath control while maintaining consistent rate,
pressure, and droplet size at every nozzle. RightSpot can increase productivity, reduce overlap,
and achieve consistent results throughout a broad range of speed all while navigating
challenging terrain such as contours and odd-shaped fields.
General Guidelines
Some products tend to come out of suspension over time causing thick, slimy material to settle
in the boom and inhibit proper nozzle valve functionality. When using these types of products it
is a good practice to flush the boom with clean water when the sprayer won't operate for 6 or
more hours.
Use the recommended chemical mixing order when filling the sprayer to avoid plugging screens
and affecting nozzle valve functionality.
Avoid using wettable powder products in tank mixes and use liquid formulations when possible.
Dry ingredients have a higher tendency of plugging screens and settling out in the boom which
can affect nozzle valve functionality.
Use a minimum of 80 mesh screens to prevent debris from entering the boom that is large
enough to obstruct nozzle valves. Inspect filters prior to starting the season and periodically
throughout the season to ensure they are clean and undamaged.
Avoid cleaning VCMs and RightSpot Hub with high pressure water to prevent water from entering
the connectors and damaging the modules.
Operating RightSpot above 60 psi will increase wear and reduce life expectancy of
NOTE!:
the plungers.

    Maintenance Disassembling and Reassembling a Nozzle Valve Assembly When inspecting and troubleshooting RightSpot, it will be necessary to remove and disassemble nozzle valve assemblies. The following instructions will guide the process. Disassembling Nozzle Valves 1. Remove the nozzle valve assembly from nozzle body by unscrewing the fly nut from the nozzle body.
  • Page 8 3. Remove the orifice insert. 4. Remove the plunger from the coil. Items to Review a. Inspect plunger seal for excessive wear. b. Identify and remove debris located on the plunger seal and the mating orifice. c. Look for debris and built up product residual around the plunger and inside the valve coil.
  • Page 9 3. Slide the fly nut on the coil assembly and insert the U-clip to hold the fly nut in place. 4. Install nozzle valve assembly. Refer to the following section for proper installation. Nozzle Valve Assembly Installation 1. Remove the Drip Check from the existing Nozzle body. 2.
  • Page 10 Cleaning Nozzle Valves RightSpot was designed to monitor valve plunger status and will generate lodged open/closed alarms when the valve plungers aren’t moving as expected. Lodged alarms indicate debris, sediments, or syrup-like residue in the valve is preventing proper operation.
