MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER
ATTENTIONIn order to ensure longer life of the pressure gauge, after calibrating the sprayer, turn off thecontrol, thus releasing the pressure, and close the pressure gauge valve.
MASTERFLOW SPRAY CONTROLBesides providing great sensitiveness and precision in the adjustments, it has basic
functional characteristics in relation to conventional controls.- LEVERS OPERATIONThe levers can be operated through cables or electric switches.- FLOW PROPORTIONAL TO ROUTINGWithin a same working gear, even if the engine rotation is changed, the application rate per
area sprayed remains unchanged.- KEEPS THE SAME PRESSURE ALONG THE WHOLE BOOM REGARDLESS OF NUMBER
OF BOOM SECTIONS IN USEIt has a system that allows to calibrate the return of each boom section and keep constant
the pressure, regardless of the number of sections on or off.
DIFFERENT CONTROL OPTIONSYour equipment can be equipped with one of the following spray controls.
- MASTERFLOW spray control with cable actuation- MASTERFLOW spray control with cable actuation and JSC- MASTERFLOW spray control with electric actuation- MASTERFLOW spray control with electric actuation and JSC
The instructions for the control calibration are practically the same, except for turning on and offthe chemical flow to the booms, which can be made through cable or electric switch.
Identify in the figures below which is the control installed in your sprayer and proceed asdescribed in the section MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER - CALIBRATING THEMASTERFLOW SPRAY CONTROL.

MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYERCALIBRATING THE MASTERFLOW SPRAY CONTROL
To calibrate the working pressure, proceed as follows:
CABLE CONTROL01 - Engage the PTO and accelerate gradually until reaching 540 rpm.
02 - Set all levers to turn on the chemical flow . (Fig. A)03 - Turn the pressure regulator clockwise to increase the pressure in the circuit. Turn itcounterclockwise to decrease the pressure in the circuit.
NOTE: As a reference for the calibration, keep the pressure at 60 psi, for example.
ATTENTION : Set the presure regulator needle at the reference pressure to calibrate the boomsections (Ex. 60 psi).

NOTE: Once the boom section is calibrated, set the lever back.The pressure must be the sameas indicated previously on the pressure gauge (60psi), when this section nozzles are on.
- Repeat the same operation on the other boom sections in order to keep constant pressurealong the entire boom.ATTENTION: Do not change the engine rotation during the calibration. A change in the rotation willchange the pressure on the nozzles and therefore their flow rate.
CABLE CONTROL AND JSCTo calibrate the pressure on the control with the JSC, the procedures are the same, except for
pressure adjustment, which in this control is not manual but made through an electric system.
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT:- With the pump running at 540 rpm
and the system energized, press theelectric switch until obtaining theworking pressure desired.For this operation, the "Automatic/Manual" switchof the JSC-5000 must beon the "Manual" position.
- To calibrate the boom sections, proceed as described above.

NOZZLE HOLDERS (MODELS: BIJET & QUADRIJET)The BIJET double nozzle holder is mounted with a cone and a flat fan nozzle made of ceramic.The QUADRIJET quadruple nozzle holder is mounted with two cone and two flat fan nozzles
made of ceramic.Both nozzle holders have a nondrip valve which cuts the liquid flow once the pressure drops
to 10 psi, thus preventing them from leaking.
MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER

Positioning a nozzle:- Loosen the nut (1) with two turns. Positionthe chosen nozzle and retighten the nut.Shutting a nozzle:- Loosen the nut (1) with two turns and turnthe nozzle holder to 45º. Retighten the nut.
NOZZLESThe nozzles have the function to generate droplets and distribute them uniformly over the
area being sprayed.Operating with pressure over that recommended by the manufacturer will decrease the
nozzle's life, besides increasing drift , environmental contamination and and changes regardingthe flow rate, angle and droplet size .
The nozzles used in this sprayer are made of ceramic, a material very resistant to wear andchemical action.
The nozzles are mounted as shown in the figures below.

MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER
CLEAN WATER TANK
With the purpose of maintaining the sprayer and discarding chemical containers with safety,
the Advance 3000 has a 52.83-gallons clean water tank that allows to clean the sprayer chemical
circuit and the chemical containers. The chemical container rising occurs through a rinse nozzle
mounted inside the chemicals mixer.
- To use the water from this tank, set the bypass valve (A) turned to the clean water tank (B).
- Engage the tractor's PTO and keep the chemicals control setting to turn on the flow to the
nozzles.
- Attention to this operation because the tank will be drained in approximately 2
minutes and the lack of water in the pump can cause damage to its components.
- Then set the bypass valve back, leaving it turned to the main tank (C), since this is the
position used to spray.
ATTENTION:The water from this tank is not fit for drinking, or even washing hands, faces, tools, etc.It must be used only to clean the chemical circuit and to fill the chemical containers forthe final rinse.

CHEMICAL CONTAINER RINSE NOZZLE
The chemical container rinse nozzle is mounted to the chemicals mixer and is specifically
designed to remove all chemical residues from the container after preparing the chemical
mixture for a secure disposal of such containers.
On the ADVANCE and ADVANCE VORTEX sprayers, the water used to rinse these
containers comes from an auxiliary 52.83-gallons tank, without contact with the water used in
the spray tank.
Rinse the chemical containers right after using them, before the residues dry.
ATTENTION- Each container should be rinsed at least three times to ensure the residues arecompletely removed.- Watch out for sprinkling while rinsing the containers. Use protective clothing.- After rinsing properly the empty chemical containers, dispose of them in an appropriateplace.- Never leave empty chemical containers anywhere, that is, in places where any untrainedperson has access to .- Prepare an appropriate place for storing empty chemical containers where onlytrained person has access to until having determined the final destination for them.- Do not reuse the chemical containers for any other purpose, whatever it may be.- Always follow the technical recommendation and use the appropriate individualprotective clothing when handling chemicals.
ATTENTIONNever operate the red lever
without a container over therinse nozzle.
As the rinse nozzle rotates,the people standing around thesprayer can get wet.

IN-LINE FILTERFor each boom section there is a filter assembled in the pressure line.The function of these filters is to prevent impurities from reaching the nozzles.
The main characteristics of these filters are the following:
Maximum working pressure ................... 300 psiFiltering element mesh ........................... 80Hose fitting............................................. ø 3/4"Maximum flow rate ................................. 39.62 gpm
LOW PRESSURE GAUGE KIT
GENERAL CARE WITH THE LOW PRESSURE GAUGE KITThe maximum pressure of this kit is 100 psi.The pressure regulators of sprayers can easily reach above 100 psi pressures, what can
damage the pressure gauges.To ensure longer life of the pressure gauge, close the valve after calibrating the sprayer.
ATTENTION:- Clean the filter whenever filling the sprayer, or whennecessary.
- Do not exceed the recommended maximum pressure(300 psi).
The low pressure gauge kit wasdesigned for checking the actual pressureon nozzles.
It can be installed on the sprayersassembled with both universal nozzle capsand fittings and complex nozzle holders,such as double and quadruple units.

CHOOSING THE TRACTOR
ATTENTION:In the above example, the recommended tractor should have minimal gross weightof 11,023.1 lb.
NOTE:The above values are used as an orientation. The correct values must be obtainedusing real data of your equipment.
CHOOSING THE TRACTOR CONSIDERING THE LOAD TO BE TRANSPORTED
Different working conditions lead us to adopt the following criterion for choosing the tractor:
- Check the sprayer weight on the identification plate.
The tractor gross weight should be at least equal to the sprayer gross weight.
Ex.: Sprayer net weight (Advance 3000 AM-18) = 4,409.24 lb
Filled up tank = 792.51gallons (approximately
4,409.24 lb )
Sprayer gross weight = 11,023,1 lb
Tractor gross weight = 5000 kg or more.
For the sprayers with Vortex system (air assisted boom), also follow the table below that
indicate the ideal tractor to work with these sprayers which are provided with a fan and,
therefore, consume more power of the tractor's engine in relation to the ground declivity and
the working speed that will be developed.
This table is just indicative. The value related to the tractor's power can range in other
situations according to the tractor's weight, tire type, ground type among others.

4th - Unfold the booms, both simultaneously or individually.
5th - With the booms aligned (in the horizontal), set them about 19.68 in abovethe target.
ATTENTIONOnly unfold and fold the booms in level areas away from trees andelectricity supply cables.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPERATION
BOOMS POSITION-Through the hydraulic control, actuate the booms angular adjustment cylinder in order to setthe booms in a position so as to provide a good, drift-free coverage.AIR FLOW CHANNELThis part directs the air flow and spray in a way so as to provide a good coverage, even on pre-tillage herbicides applications.The air flow channel must be adjusted in the spraying site, taking into account the folowingfactors:-Treatment type (in pre- or post-emergence applications);-Wind speed;-Wind direction.
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTSSPRAY APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY
A successful spray application does not depend only on a good sprayer or correct use ofthe chemicals but also on factors to be determined in the field under specialized orientation.
Among these factors, some concepts should be part of a criterion of evaluation so thatpositive results may be attained within the pest control program.
- Ideal time - Application rate- Safety - Good coverage
IDEAL TIMEThe ideal time for spraying should be chosen according to the chemical product characteristics,
as well as to the field conditions:
- Infestation level of pests, diseases and weeds;
- Infection level of diseases;
- Growing stage of weeds;
- Weather conditions.
SAFETYWhen spraying your crops, you must make sure there will be no risk to people, animals
and environment. Avoid spraying at hotter times, with humidity below 55% or under windyconditions. Do not allow the operator to handle chemicals and spraying machinery withoutthe proper individual protective clothing.
CORRECT APPLICATION RATEAny type of application requires that the rate be maintained during the whole spraying work.
This will be possible when you have a good sprayer properly calibrated.
This calibration can be obtained through practical methods or formulas. Please refer to thesection OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS - CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER.
GOOD COVERAGEYou have a good coverage when the whole target is sprayed with uniform distribution, with no
risk to the environment and with good results in the pest control.
The application rate does not have influence on the treatment results. Therefore good coveragescan be attained even with different rates, which may vary according to operational and regionalfactors.
IMPORTANT!READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW STRICTLY THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE
CHEMICALS MANUFACTURER'S LABEL.ALWAYS FOLLOW DIRECTIONS OF A TECHNICIAN WHEN HANDLING AND
APPLYING CHEMICALS.ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE SPRAYER IS IN GOOD OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS
BEFORE STARTING THE SPRAYING JOB AND EMPLOY A WELL TRAINEDOPERATOR.

HIGH QUALITYSeries JA hollow cone nozzles are produced by processes developed for exacting markets of
mechanical engineering, space and aerospace industries. A special mold injection process makesa perfect orifice on the nozzles, giving better quality to the surface finish than that achieved bymachines. And the result is better coverage and more homogenous spraying.
These nozzles are approved by international quality standards, ensuring an outstanding spraycone uniformity and flow rate of nozzles.
HIGH WEAR RESISTANCEThe alumina-sintered nozzles are almost as hard as diamond and resist yet the most corrosive
products. This provides perfect stability for long time concerning all requirements such as flow rate,coverage and droplet size.

Specify nozzle description and part #. Ex.: nozzle JA-2, part # 000026.
The safety of people, animals and environment depends on correct spray appications. Therefore,we list below important operational procedures.
WHEN OPERATING SPRAYERS- Check for the proper working conditions of thesprayer.- Do not blow by mouth nozzles, valves or tubes.- Do not spray against the wind.- Do not spray at sunny times-Use individual protective clothing recommended- Do not eat, drink or smoke.
REMEMBER!You are responsible for the success of the application.
CALCULATING THE SPRAYING VOLUME
ATTENTIONThe numbers shown in the above example are illustrative. The correct calibration
should be done according to instructions of a technician of trust.
CALIBRATING THE SPRAYERThe sprayer can be calibrated through the formula below or through the calibrator bottle as
shown in the next page.
WHEN HANDLING CHEMICALS
- Follow strictly the instructions on the labels.
- Use individual protective clothing.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke.
- Choose a ventilated place.
- Wash with water and soap the parts of thebody touched by chemicals.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER BE SURE:- suction filter is clean.-hoses are not twisted or bored.-pressure regulator components (valve seat, valve and spring) are not worn or dirty.- pump is properly lubricated (oil level and grease) and has no leakage.-nozzles are of the same model, not worn, with correct flow rate and with clean strainers.
AFTER CHECKING, PROCEED TO CALIBRATE AS FOLLOWS1 - Mark off 50 meters or 164.04 ft on the ground to be sprayer.2 - Fill up the sprayer.3 - Choose the working gear.4 - Engage the PTO.5 - Accelerate until reaching 540 rpm at the PTO.
CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER WITH THE CALIBRATOR BOTTLE
6 -Start moving at least 5 meters or 16.40 ft before the initial mark.7 -Note the time it takes the tractor to move 50 meters or 164.04 ft.8 -On irregular ground, repeat this operation several times and take the average.9 -Stop the tractor with the acceleration used to move the 50 meters, open the nozzles and adjust
the pressure according to directions for the different types of nozzles:- Cone nozzles : from 45 to 200 psi- Flat fan nozzles : from 15 to 60 psi
10 -Use the calibrator bottle to collect the nozzle spray volume during the same time taken to movethe 50 meters or 164.04 ft, and read on the column corresponding to the nozzle spacing.
12 -The average obtained will be the spray volume for the gear and pressure already determined.NOTE: 1-If the spray volume obtained is below that wished, increase the pressure, decrease the
speed (but keep 540 rpm at PTO) or replace the nozzles by others of higher flow rate.2-If the spray volume is above that wished, decrease the pressure, increase the speed
(but keep 540 rpm at PTO) or replace the nozzles by others of lower flow rate.

HANDLING SPRAYERS AND AGROCHEMICALS
We warn the owners and users that the UNREASONABLE USE of this sprayer and chemicals it
applies may cause damage to people, properties, animals and environment.
Read carefully and understand thoroughly this manual and the recommendations of the
chemicals manufacturers.
Follow strictly the instructions for proper use of this sprayer and chemicals to ensure more safety
and efficiency when spraying your crops.
AFTER SPRAYING
ATTENTION: If there is chemical mixture remaining from the spraying, eliminate it on the own
crop or in a proper decotamination place.
- Avoid leaving chemical mixture residues in the tank. For the last pass, prepare the chemical
solution in enough quantity to spray the remaining of the crop;
- Disassemble and clean each nozzle assembly with fine brush, water jet or compressed air ;
- Take off the individual protective clothing and wash it separately from other clothes.
GENERAL CARE
MAINTAINING THE SPRAYER
- Maintain your sprayer clean, lubricated and always ready to be used;
- During the use, wash regularly the sprayer to eliminate the dirt and the chemical accumulated
outside it, this will help the use of the sprayer and will keep the operator from touching the tractor;
- When finishing every working day, fill up the tank with clean water and empity it through the
spray to eliminate chemical residue of components. Spray on the own crop or in a proper
decontamination place. Then, check and clean the nozzles;
- Prepare the sprayer to be stored during one crop and another. Wash the inside and outside
of the equipment with clean water and detergent.
