MAIN COMPONENTS OF SPRAYER
SUCTION FILTER
Located between the tank and pump, the suction filter is specifically designed to prevent dirt or
impurities from reaching the pump.
It has an easy-to-reach shut off valve which stops the liquid flow to allow filter cleaning, filtering
elements changing and/or pump maintenance.
This shut off valve must remain open while the sprayer is running. If it remains closed, you will hear
an unusual noise in the pump.

PRESSURE REGULATOR
MASTERFLOW CONTROL
This pressure regulator control provides great sensitivity and accuracy in the calibrations.
Besides, it has two basic functional characteristics in comparison with the conventional controls.
- FLOW PROPORTIONAL TO TRAVEL
The application rate remains unchanged per sprayed area even if the engine rotation fluctuates
within a same gear.
- CONSTANT WORKING PRESSURE ALONG THE WHOLE BOOM, REGARDLES OF THE
NUMBER OF BOOM SECTIONS TURNED ON
This control has a system that enables to calibrate the return of each boom section, thus
maintaining the same pressure in all sections, independent of the number of sections turned on or
off.
ATTENTION
To ensure longer life of the pressure gauge, close

Masterflow Control
This is a system that automatically calibrates the sprayer and ensures constant liquid quantity
distributed per area, regardless of the speed fluctuations within the same gear.
With the introduction of the JSC-5000, the farmer will save time and chemicals. 10% errors
are practically unavoidable in manual calibrations, which are per trial and error. Besides the error
in the calibrations, the tractor speed fluctuations also affect the result. The JSC-5000 compensates
all fluctuations on the working speed and keeps constant liquid volume per area.

NOZZLES
The job of the nozzles is to generate droplets and distribute them uniformly over the surface
being sprayed.
Flow, angle and droplet sizes vary according to working pressure. Operating with pressure over
that recommended by the manufacturer will decrease the nozzles' life.
This sprayer is equipped with alumina (ceramic) nozzles, which are very resistant to wear and to
chemical action, and fitted as shown in the figure below.

CHEMICAL CONTAINER RINSE NOZZLE
The chemical container rinse nozzle is mounted to chemicals mixer and is specifically designed
to remove all chemicals residues from the container after preparing the chemical mixture for a
secure disposal of such containers.
Some publications show that somewhere around 0.3% of the chemicals remains on the
container after being used. Therefore, discarding the containers without washing out the residues
is extremely dangerous to mankind, animals and enviroment.
Rinse the chemical containers right after using them, before the residues dry.
USE
- Set the lever (1) in the position "Incorporador" ("Chemicals Mixer") (detail of the decal affixed to
the sprayer column).
- The lever (2) must be set in the position for washing inside the mixer .

FLOW BYPASS VALVE
- It bypasses the chemical mixture flow to the nozzles or to the hydraulic agitator.
-After filling the tank and mixing the chemical, engage the PTO on the way from the filling spot to
the area to be sprayed.
-Set the lever of the flow bypass valve to the position "Descarga para o Tanque (agitação)
("Discharge to the Tank (agitation))". In this position, all the mixture will be agitated in the sprayer.
- In starting to spray, set this lever to the position "Comando de Pulverização" (" Spray Control"), in
which the main flow will be directed to the spray boom. The excess on the nozzles will return normally
through the circuit.

HYDRAULIC AGITATOR
The agitator operation is the same of most of hydraulic agitators, in which a water flow passes
through throttling that increases its speed, and it, because of the "venturi principle" in the suction
chamber, draws a great deal of water at a speed lower than the entry speed.
The difference in comparison with other agitators is that this one has two inlets. One for high flow
rate (1" hose) and other for low flow rate (1/2" hose). On the low flow rate inlet, that is always in the
same pressure of the nozzles, there is a ceramic tablet that provides the following flow rates for
agitating the mixture:
-At a pressure of 20 psi on the circuit, around 0.79 gpm of chemical mixture pass by the tablet, that
represents due to the venturi system the circulation of 15.85 gpm of chemical mixture in constant
agitation.
-At a pressure of 300 psi on the circuit, around 2.37 gpm of chemical mixture per minute pass by
the tablet, that represents due to the venturi system the circulation of 52.83 gpm of chemical mixutre
in constant agitation.
The two outlets in the system work in different situation:
- The low flow rate inlet allows a continuous agitation in any situation of operation.
- The high flow rate inlet was designed to give a better condition for agitating the chemical mixture
while it is prepared and also on the way from the filling spot to the area to be sprayed.

FAN ROTATION ADJUSTING VALVE
This valve adjusts the oil flow to run the hydraulic motor which actuates the fan.
The maximum fan rotation is 2,200 rpm.To change the rotation, just turn the knob:
clockwise to increase the rpm and counterclockwise to decrease the rpm.
Spraying grounds covered by vegetation (crops or strange plants) requires maximun
rpm, while for spraying clear grounds (no crop or vegetation) it is necessary to adjust the
rotation in order not to raise dust.
Another important factor is the power consumption: the lower the fan rpm, the lower the
power consumption (maximun power consumption with fan at 2,200 rpm=13 HP).

A successful spray application does not depend only on a good sprayer or correct use of the
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 that positive
results may be attained within the pest control program.
-Ideal time- Application rate
-Safety-Good coverage
-Sprayer operational condition-Well trained operator
IDEAL TIME
The 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.
SAFETY
When 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 windy conditions.
Do not allow the operator to handle chemicals and spraying machinery without the proper
individual protective clothing.
CORRECT APPLICATION RATE
Any 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 the
section OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS - CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER.
GOOD COVERAGE
You 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 coverages
can be attained even with different rates, which may vary according to operational and regional
factors.
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 TRAINED
OPERATOR.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
To calibrate every boom section, proceed as follows:
01-Run the sprayer and turn on the chemical flow to all boom sections.
02-Set the relief lever (1) in the position P [pressure].
03-Set the levers (2), (3), (4) and (5) to point down.
04-Check the pressure indicated by the pressure gauge.
05-Choose one of the boom sections and set the lever aside all the way [to turn off].
06-Other levers should remain pointing down [to turn on].

(P)
23
07-Check if the pressure indicated by the pressure gauge changed. If so, proceed as follows:
-Loosen the fastening screw shown by the arrow (figure E).
-Turn the knob clockwise to increase the operating pressure (figure F).
-Turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease the operating pressure (figure G).
NOTE:The pressure should be equal to that previously indicated by the pressure gauge when
the nozzles of this boom section were turned on.
-After calibrating the pressure gauge, set the lever back in the position "PULVERIZAR"
[SPRAY] (to point down/turn on).
-Do the same on every boom sections in order to maintain constant pressure along the entire
boom, regardless of the number of boom sections turned on.
EGF
ATTENTION:Do not change the rotation while checking the nozzles flow rate. Change on the
rotation will change the pressure on the nozzles and hence their flow rates.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
CALIBRATING THE SPRAYER WITH THE CALIBRATOR BOTTLE
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 FOLLOWS
1-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.
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 move
the 50 meters or 164.04 ft, and read on the column corresponding to the nozzle spacing.

11-Repeat this operation with several nozzles to obtain an average volume.
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.
