or modifications may become safety hazards to you and to others and will void all warranties.

DRIVING •

Before moving sprayer, make sure no persons or obstructions are in path of travel.

•

Do not permit passengers on sprayer when it is moving; they may fall off or obstruct operator’s view.

•

Never drive near ditches, embankments, holes, mounds, or other obstacles.

•

Never drive on hills too steep for safe operation.

•

Always drive at a reasonable field speed.

•

Reduce sprayer’s speed before turning.

•

Come to a complete stop before reversing direction.

•

Pull over to side of road before stopping.

•

Additional weight caused from partially full or full solution tanks may cause erratic or increased stopping distance. Do not drive on road with full tanks

•

Do not activate parking brake while machine is in motion or damage may occur to sprayer.

•

Use flashing/hazard warning lights when traveling on public roads, day or night, unless prohibited by local law.

•

Make sure SMV emblem is in place and visible from rear when traveling on public roads.

I. SAFETY/DECALS OPERATING TREAD WIDTH •

IV. PREPARING TO OPERATE WHEEL TREAD AND ROW SPACING With hydraulic tread adjust See pages 32 for information about hydraulic tread adjust operation.

Without hydraulic tread adjust Knowing the row spacing of the field one intends to spray, follow the steps below to properly obtain the desired tread setting.

1. To adjust the tread width in or out, park the sprayer on level ground and shut off the engine.

2. Loosen the leg mounting bolts on both the front and rear legs on one side of the sprayer only.

Loosen leg mounting bolts only enough to allow for free movement of leg on mainframe.

FIG 4.1

DO NOT remove bolts under any condition.

3. Loosen the rear lock nut on the leg brace (fig. 4.1). This will co at ap with pro gre x. a 30 se "

allow one leg to move further than the other without binding while adjusting the tread setting.

4. Lubricate the slide path the leg mount will travel along mainframe (fig. 4.2).

FIG 4.2

IV. PREPARING TO OPERATE 5. Place a suitable block under the air bag mounting plate before raising the sprayer (fig. 4.3). This will prevent the suspension from telescoping.

6. Raise the sprayer until the tires on the side being adjusted are just touching the ground.

Empty FIG 4.3

tanks

before raising the sprayer.

7. To adjust the tread out, place a suitable prying tool under the center of the tire and pry out at the same time that you push out at the top of the leg (fig. 4.4). Carefully lower the sprayer to the ground which, in turn will allow the leg to slide outward.

Repeat the procedure until the desired tread is obtained.

8. To adjust the tread in, raise the sprayer until the tires on the side being adjusted are just off the ground. Carefully lower the sprayer which, in turn will allow the top of the leg to slide FIG 4.4

in on the mainframe.

9. Retighten the leg mounting bolts following the torque specs and sequence on page 95.

10. Retighten the leg brace lock nut.

11. Repeat the above procedures to adjust and set the opposite side legs. When finished, all four legs should be same distance from the mainframe.

V. OPERATING INFORMATION OPERATING THE ENGINE Pre-operational Checks

Page Reference

1. Check the engine oil level. Do not operate the engine when oil is below the low mark on dipstick.

75

2. Check the coolant level in the radiator and the coolant overflow reservoir.

77-78

3. Check the hydraulic oil reservoir level.

75

4. Check cooling air intake screens.

81

5. Check engine drive belt.

92

6. Drain fuel/water separator.

83

7. Check the Filter Minder ®.

80

8. Check for any oil or fuel leaks and correct if needed.

Starting the Engine

Start engine from operator’s seat only. When running engine in a building, be sure there is adequate ventilation.

1. Position hydrostatic control lever to “N” (neutral) position.

2. Put the parking brake switch to the “ON” position (see page 30). When starting procedure is complete, return switch to “OFF” position.

3. Turn key to the “ON” position to check instruments.

V. OPERATING INFORMATION 5. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position to engage the starter. If the engine fails to start after 15 seconds, turn key to “OFF”, wait one minute and repeat the procedure. If the engine does not start after three attempts, check fuel supply system. Absence of blue or white exhaust smoke during cranking indicates no fuel is being delivered.

6. When engine starts, immediately reduce throttle lever setting to 1/3.

7. Inspect indicator lights and gauges for correct operation. If any lights or gauges do not operate, shut off engine and determine cause.

8. Always allow at least a five minute warm-up period before operating the engine at high RPM. This means the engine must reach operating temperature and oil pressure must stabilize in the normal operating range before it is run faster than an idle (1000 RPM or less). Cold oil may not flow in quantities adequate to prevent pump cavitation.

COLD WEATHER STARTING Using starting fluid is not recommended.

Do not move the sprayer until the other person is off the sprayer and a safe distance away.

NOTE: Do not use starting fluid when starting an engine. The use of too much starting fluid will cause engine damage.

When using jumper cables to start engine, make sure to connect the cables in parallel: positive (+) to positive and negative (-) to negative. When using an external electrical source to start the engine, turn the disconnect switch to the “OFF” position. Remove the key before attaching the jumper cables to prevent unintentional starter engagement.

V. OPERATING INFORMATION HYDROSTATIC SYSTEM Hydrostatic Drive 1

1.

Increase engine RPM with the throttle lever (fig. 5.1, item 2) to the maximum recommended engine speed setting.

NOTE: Never operate the sprayer at anything less than full recommended throttle.

2. To move forward, slowly push the hydrostatic control lever (fig. 5.1, item 1) forward. The farther the control lever is moved, the faster the sprayer will travel. To stop, slowly pull the lever to the “N” (neutral) position.

FIG 5.1

3. To reverse the machine, slowly pull the hydrostatic control lever back. To stop, slowly push the lever to the “N” (neutral) position.

4. To engage the hydrostatic system in four wheel drive, pull up on the control knob (fig. 5.1, item 3). To return to two wheel drive, push the control knob down.

V. OPERATING INFORMATION Parking Brake The

brakes

are

controlled

by

pressure. When the engine is shut off or if the charge pressure is below 150 PSI the brakes will become activated. To set the brakes while the engine is running, activate the switch located below the spray system monitor (fig. 5.2).

Lift the RED switch cover as shown in figure 5.3B. To engage the brakes, flip the switch up to the “ON” position as shown in figure 5.3C. To release the brakes, close the RED cover and this in turn will flip the brake switch to the “OFF” FIG 5.2

DO NOT GO NEAR LEAKS. High pressure oil easily punctures skin causing injury, gangrene, or death. If injured, seek emergency medical help.

Immediate surgery is required to remove oil. Do not use finger or skin to check for leaks. Lower load or relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening fittings.

V. OPERATING INFORMATION Operating the Hydraulic Tread Adjust co at ap with pro gre x. a 30 se "

Never adjust the hydraulic tread on a public roadway. Make sure the sprayer is on level ground where there are no ditches or valleys to interfere when you perform the adjustment.

NOTE: FIG 5.5

The hydraulic tread adjust bearing clearance has been factory set. If further adjustment is required for more or less clearance, additional shims will need to be added or removed (see page 96).

Before you hydraulically adjust the tread: 1. Make sure the nylon material on the tread adjustment brackets on both the front and rear legs have an adequately lubricated surface to slide on during adjustment (fig. 5.5).

2. Survey the surroundings and allow yourself enough room to adjust tread between one and two mph either in forward or reverse.

independently be shut off or turned on. The number and location of solution valves varies with boom length. Sixty foot booms are divided into three sections and the valves are mounted on the transom. Eighty and ninety foot booms are divided into five sections with three valves mounted on the transom and one mounted on each boom.

FIG 5.28

Boom Valve Switches The electronic boom solution valves are controlled by a panel of switches mounted under the spraying system’s monitor (fig.

5.28). When the switches are in the “UP” position they are on 1

and when they are in the “DOWN” position they are off.

Main Solution Switch The main solution switch is a floor-mounted “dimmer-style” switch (fig. 5.29, item 2). It controls the power supply to the panel of boom solution valve switches. The main floor switch must be 2

on to supply the panel switches with voltage. This way you can turn all of the boom solution valves “ON” or “OFF” all at once in a hands-free execution such as turning the main solution switch “OFF” as you arrive at the end rows of a field and turn it back

FIG 5.29

“ON” as you enter the field again.

When the main solution switch is “ON” a “GREEN” indicator light mounted at the bottom of the instrument panel will light up (fig. 5.29, item 1). When the light is not lit, the main solution switch is “OFF.”

VIII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE FLUIDS Engine oil 1

OIL LEVEL - The engine oil level dipstick is located on the left-hand side of the engine (fig. 8.1, item 1). Never operate the

FILL engine with the oil level below the “L” (low) mark or above the “H” (high) mark. Wait at least five minutes after shutting off the engine to check the oil level; this allows time for the oil to drain to the oil pan. Check the engine oil level daily.

CAPACITY - Low to high mark capacity is 2.0 quarts.

FIG 8.1

Engine oil pan capacity is 15 quarts. Refer to Engine Operation and Maintenance manual for maintenance schedule.

NOTE: The engine must be level when checking the oil level to make sure the measurement is correct.

Hydraulic Oil Reservoir OIL LEVEL - Check the hydraulic oil level in the reservoir daily (fig. 8.2). Add just enough fluid so the level reaches the bottom tip of the dipstick. Always check the hydraulic oil level FIG 8.2

when it is cool. Hydraulic oil will expand when heated in a system and measuring the reservoir by these levels allows for expansion.

TYPE - Premium hydraulic fluids containing high quality rust/ oxidation/and foam inhibitors are required. Hydraulic oil must conform to one of the following types: anti-wear hydraulic oil, type F automatic transmission fluid, or agricultural hydraulic transmission fluid. Replace the oil in the hydraulic reservoir at 500 hours or at the beginning of each spraying season, whichever comes first.

NOTE: Cleanliness is standard: Keep area clean when changing filters and oils.

VIII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Torque Hub® Oil OIL LEVEL - Each Torque Hub® should maintain an oil level of half full at all times. Less than that would limit lubrication, and over half full could cause overheating and damage. To check oil level, position Torque Hub® so one of the face plugs is positioned at 12 O’clock (fig. 8.3). The other plug will be either at 9 O’clock or 3 O’clock. Remove the lower plug: if no oil comes out, oil level is too low. Check Torque Hub® oil level daily.

FIG 8.3

If 85-140 oil is needed, remove the top plug and fill just until it starts to come out the lower hole. With the oil at a satisfactory level, re-install plugs.

CHANGE - The Torque Hub® oil should be changed after the first 50 hours of operation, preferably in a loaded condition.

Subsequently, it should be changed every 100 hours after that, or once a year whichever comes first.

To change the Torque Hub® oil, position one of the plugs at 6 O’clock, and the other at either 3 O’clock or 9 O’clock.

Remove the bottom plug to drain the oil. Once all of the oil is drained, re-install the bottom plug and remove the top plug.

Refill Torque Hub® with 85-140 oil as described above.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE - If your sprayer is going to sit for an extended period of time, occasionally rotate the hubs by driving the sprayer forward or backward a few feet to adequately coat all internal hub parts. This will prevent rusting if moisture inadvertently entered the hub during an oil change. Failure to rotate hub and disperse oil may cause rusting and internal damage.

VIII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Cooling System COOLANT TYPE - Your cooling system should always be sufficiently charged with an adequate mixture of antifreeze and water, regardless of the climate, in order to maintain a broad operating temperature range. Your cooling system has been factory-charged with an ethylene glycol-based antifreeze.

NOTE: FIG 8.4

Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze and propylene glycol-based antifreeze should never be mixed.

CHECKING CONCENTRATION - The radiator cap is located immediately behind the rear of the cab (fig. 8.4). Never remove a cap from a hot engine. Always allow the engine to cool before servicing cooling system.

A 50/50 antifreeze/water mixture is a conservative mixture which allows good protection against both overheating and freezing. If a stronger antifreeze mixture is required, be sure not to exceed the engine manufacturer’s guidelines for antifreeze mixing. The table in figure 8.6 gives a few examples of ethylene FIG 8.5

glycol antifreeze/water mixture protection values. Consult the engine manufacturer’s handbook for further information.

Concentration should be checked every 500 hours or at the

Ethylene Glycol

heavy duty diesel cooling systems.

VIII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE COOLANT RESERVOIR - The coolant reservoir is located under the right-hand hood behind the radiator (fig. 8.7). Check its level everyday while the engine is cold. Maintain the coolant reservoir level within the normal cold range marks.

CHANGING COOLANT - Your coolant should periodically be changed to eliminate the buildup of harmful chemicals. Drain and replace the coolant every other spraying season or every 1,000 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Refill only with FIG 8.7

ethylene glycol coolant. Antifreeze should be mixed only with soft water because hard water contains minerals which break down the anti-corrosion properties of antifreeze.

Fuel TYPE - No. 2 diesel fuel is recommended for the best economy and performance under most operating conditions. In operating conditions under 32° F, use a blend of No. 1 and No. 2 diesel fuel. The addition of No. 1 diesel fuel may cause loss of power and/or fuel economy.

STORING - See section 9 on sprayer storage.

REFILLING - Always turn off the engine and allow it to cool FIG 8.8

before refueling. Never smoke while fueling. Keep a fire extinguisher within reach while refueling.

Each tank holds 40 gallons - do not fill them completely: fuel can expand and run over. Wipe up all spilled fuel and clean with detergent and water before starting the engine.

PRIMING - If the fuel system should happen to run dry and lose its prime, there is a priming bulb located on the left side of the engine for use in filling the engine fuel filters (fig. 8.9).

FIG 8.9

VIII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Air Conditioning TYPE - The cab on your sprayer is equipped with a R-134a air conditioning system.

RECHARGING - Recharge it only with R-134a refigerant. If your air conditioning system is mistakenly charged with R-12 refigerant, serious problems, such as compressor seizure, may result. Therefore, confirm refigerant before recharging system.

If you do not have the proper recharging equipment, it is FIG 8.10

recommended that you allow an independent service agent service your air conditioning system.

Windshield Washer Fluid The windshield washer reservoir is located toward the front of the sprayer behind the center front shield (fig. 8.12). Check it occasionally and refill it with non-freezing automotive windshield cleaner as required.

VIII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE FILTERS Engine Air Intake REMOVAL - The engine air intake filter element should only be removed if it is going to be replaced. After loosening the air cleaner clamp and removing the end cap, carefully remove the filter so as to not knock any dust off the filter and into the air intake passage (fig. 8.14 A and B).

REPLACEMENT - Your sprayer is equipped with a Filter FIG 8.14 A

Minder® to notify you of filter element efficiency. Follow its guidelines for servicing. (See below.) At appropriate service time, install the new element carefully to ensure proper sealing.

CLEANING - It is not recommended to clean the air filter element. However, a clean damp cloth should be used to wipe dust and foreign material from the air cleaner housing before a new element is installed.

Filter Minder® LOCATION - The Filter Minder® is an air restriction monitoring system that progressively and constantly indicates FIG 8.14 B

how much air filter capacity remains. It is mounted at the top of the instrument panel in the cab (fig. 8.15). Check its reading daily.

SERVICE - Service the air cleaner when the Filter Minder® reads 20” (80% of average dirt holding capacity). Reset the Filter Minder® to zero each time you replace the air filter element.

NOTE: Service the air cleaner before the yellow indicator reaches the red line of the Filter Minder®.

FIG 8.15

VIII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Grille Screens In order to maintain maximum air flow through the engine cooling system’s radiator, oil cooler, and air conditioning condenser, the cooling air intake grille screens must be inspected often and periodically removed for cleaning.

REMOVAL - The side grille screens are easily removed by sliding them up out of their housings (fig. 8.16). The top screen is held in place by two bolts (fig. 8.16) and may also be removed for cleaning.

FIG 8.16 CLEANING - Compressed air will dislodge most large trash or loose dirt after the screens have been removed. Blow out the screens away from the machine. Water from a pressurized hose

1

may also be used, or if necessary the screens may be soaked in soapy water and scrubbed with a brush.

NOTE: When cleaning cooling fins of the radiator, oil cooler, or A/C condenser with compressed 2 2

air or water, be careful not to damage cooling fins which may impair cooling capabilities.

FIG 8.17

Hydraulic Suction Filter Remove and install a new 10 Micron rated suction filter (fig.

8.17, item 1) at the end of the first 50 hours of use; subsequently, replace the filter every 250 hours, or once a year, whichever comes first.

Hydrostatic Charge Pressure Filter Remove and install a new 4 Micron rated charge pressure filter (fig. 8.17, item 2) at the end of the first 50 hours of use; subsequently, replace the filter every 250 hours, or once a year, whichever comes first.

VIII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE High Pressure In-line Filter STACK VALVES - The valves on the boom control stack valve are protected by a 90 Micron in-line sintered bronze filter (fig. 8.18). When the filter element is removed for cleaning, caution should be taken so the gasket is in the proper place FIG 8.18

when re-installing (fig. 8.19). Also, re-install filter paying attention to direction of flow so the end marked “OUT” is oriented correctly.

Solution Line Strainer To help maintain consistent application rates, check the solution line strainer (fig. 8.20) daily for blockage. To remove the strainer, close the tank shutoff valves. Clean the strainer screen FIG 8.19

as required. Be sure to wear the appropriate clothing while removing and cleaning the line strainer screen. Confirm the gasket is in place before re-installing the screen. Line strainers for the high pressure pumps are located under each solution tank. Remove and clean them in the same manner.

Air Conditioning System Dryer The A/C system receiver/dryer (fig. 8.21) should be replaced if the A/C loop is ever opened such as replacing a compressor FIG 8.20

nylon

bearings

for

suspension telescoping between the inner and outer leg weldments. These bearings must be lubricated to avoid bearing failure and ensure 1

optimal ride quality. There are grease zerks located on the sides of the leg assemblies, one for the upper bearing (fig. 8.25, item 1) and two for the lower bearing (fig. 8.25, item 2). Greasing all

2

bearings on all four legs daily is very important.

In late season crop applications, the grease may possibly be wiped off by passing crop leaves,

2

so the bearing should be greased at least twice a day. Suggested times are in the morning and at noon. If the crop is mature enough, or plant population is high enough, more frequent leg bearing grease application may be required. This FIG 8.25

will ensure proper lubrication allowing optimal performance.

VIII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Torque Hub® Seal Boot Each leg has a seal boot located between the wheel motor and Torque Hub®. Grease the zerk on the wheel motor (fig.

8.26) every 50 hours.

An over-greased seal boot will leak some grease out around the seal and when heated may cause the appearance of a failed wheel motor leaking hydraulic fluid. Wipe off any excess grease after servicing.

FIG 8.26

Hydraulic Tread Adjust Bearing Slide-Path The slide-path (fig. 8.27) for the hydraulic tread adjust nylon

bearings should be generously coated with an appropriate lubricant. Standard grease applied by hand over the entire length of the bearing’s range of travel should suffice.

Inspect this area often and lubricate as required. Failure to do so may cause one of the legs to hang up while the other is still sliding during adjustment. This will cause damage to the machine. Bear in mind that late season or taller crops may wipe off some or all of the exposed grease on the under-side of the

FIG 8.27

To install wheel and tire assembly on the Torque Hub®, lubricate studs with anti-seize grease. Align the wheel bolt holes FIG 8.47

with the Torque Hub® studs and mount the wheel on the hub.

NOTE: To achieve even torquing consistency, the tire should be completely off the ground.

Start all of the lug nuts on and tighten them until they are just snug. Following the torque sequence in figure 8.48, first turn each lug nut to a torque value of 120 dry foot-pounds. Use slow, even pressure on the torque-wrench. Quick or jerky movements cause inaccurate values. Repeat the same sequence to 150 dry foot-pounds and again finally to 180 dry foot-pounds.

If the wheel turns during lug nut torquing, lower the machine

IX. STORAGE A. Preparing the sprayer for storage.

1. Perform daily level checks, lubrication, and bolt and linkage inspections as required in this manual in section eight on maintenance.

2. Every other season, drain the coolant from the engine and radiator. Probe the drain holes during draining to ensure they are not clogged by sludge, scale, or other deposits. Fill the cooling system to the top with a 50/50 water/antifreeze mixture. Run engine to operating temperature and re-check level.

NOTE: If antifreeze is added, make sure the engine is then run to operating temperature to assure proper mixing of solution.

3. Add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel and fill fuel tank.

4. Run the engine until it is at operating temperature, then drain the engine oil. Refill with fresh oil of recommended weight and install a new lubricating oil filter element.

5. With the engine at normal operating temperature, cycle all hydraulic functions including the steering.

6. Release tension on all belts. For more detailed information, consult the manufacturer’s handbook that accompanies this manual.

7. Use plastic bags and water-resistant adhesive tape to seal the air intake opening, all exhaust manifold openings, engine oil filler cap, hydraulic oil tank breather cap, and fuel tank caps.

8. Disconnect and remove battery or batteries. Completely clean and charge the battery. Coat the terminals with petroleum jelly and store battery in cool, dry place.

9. Thoroughly clean the sprayer. Touch up any painted surfaces that are scratched or chipped. For touch-up paint recommendations contact the Hagie Manufacturing Customer Support Department.

10. Replace worn or missing decals. See pages 8-13 for proper location of warning decals and their corresponding part number. Warning decals and all other Hagie decals are available through the Hagie Manufacturing Customer Support Department.

NOTE: For replacement decals contact: Hagie Manufacturing Company Box 273, Clarion, IA 50525 Ph. 1-800-247-4885

IX. STORAGE 11. Use a multi-purpose grease to coat exposed hydraulic cylinder rods to prevent rusting which could result in cylinder damage.

12. To winterize the spray system, it is recommended that you use an environmentally-safe type antifreeze and water mixture that will give you adequate protection to minus 30 degrees below zero. Drain any remaining solution in the system and run the antifreeze mixture through the spray system until it comes out all boom openings. Repeat the above process with both the foam marker and rinse systems.

13. If the sprayer must be stored outside, cover it with a waterproof cover.

B. Removing the sprayer from storage.

1. Inspect the condition, and test the air pressure, of all tires. Please see page 100 for information regarding proper tire maintenance.

2. Carefully unseal all openings that were sealed in the storage process.

3. Clean and reinstall the battery. Be sure to attach the battery cables to the proper terminals.

4. Tighten all belts. Inspect and replace any worn belts. For information on belts, see page 92.

5. Check engine oil, hydraulic oil, and engine coolant levels; add, if necessary. A mixture of 50/50 antifreeze and water will cool adequately in summer as well as protect in winter.

NOTE: Protective compounds such as grease can harden under exposure to weather conditions.

6. Completely clean the sprayer.

7. Review section eight on maintenance (pages 71-101), and perform all needed services as instructed.

8. For starting instructions, see pages 27-28 in section five on operating information.

NOTE: See Warranty on page 113 concerning improper storage.

Release the push button and record the value that is displayed. For our example we are going to record the displayed value as 119.2 To convert from MPH to km/h we multiply the value by 1.609 For this example 119.2 x 1.609 = 191.8 The new km/h parameter will be 191.8 for this example.

Leave idle for 5 seconds and the display will return to the normal mode before going on to the next step.

Enter the new speed parameter value for km/h: The display will return to the normal mode if left idle for 5 seconds so the next steps need to be performed quickly.

Press and hold the right MPH push button until all 8’s appear (88:88) and then release.

Use the two push buttons to change the speed parameter to the new value. For our example the new value is 191.8 Leave both buttons idle for 5 seconds and the display will return to the normal mode.

The displayed speed will now be in km/h.

NOTE: The value can be changed faster by first pressing one button and while holding it depressed, press the other button. It can also be sped up by pressing and holding one button down for a couple of seconds.

INTRODUCTION The Raven SCS 460 (SPRAYER CONTROL SYSTEM) is designed to improve the uniformity of spray applications. Its performance relies on the installation and preventive maintenance of the complete sprayer. It is important that this Installation and Service Manual be reviewed thoroughly before operating the system. This manual provides a simple stepby-step procedure for installing and operating.

The SCS 460 system consists of a computer-based Control Console, a Speed Sensor, a turbine type Flow Meter and a motorized Control Valve. The Console mounts directly in the cab of the vehicle for easy operator use. The Radar Speed Sensor is mounted to the frame of the vehicle or implement (wheel drive and speedometer Drive Speed Sensors are also available.) The motorized Control Valve and Flow Meter mount to the framework supporting the boom valves. Appropriate cabling is furnished for field installation.

The operator sets the target volume per area to be sprayed and the SCS 460 automatically maintains the flow regardless of vehicle speed or gear selection. A manual override switch allows the operator to manually control flow for system check-out and spot spraying. Actual volume per area being applied is displayed at all times. The SCS 460 additionally functions as an area monitor, speed monitor and volume totalizer.

NOTE: The SCS 460 Control Console is designed to be used with external Boom switches.

In order for the Console to know when and which Boom is ON or OFF, Boom signal wires are provided.

INSTALLATION 1.

MOUNTING THE RAVEN RADAR SPEED SENSOR See Appendix 1 for Wheel Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.

See Appendix 2 for Speedometer Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.

For mounting the radar, the following guidelines will assure proper installation: It is suggested that a large heavy mounting bracket, (P/N 107-0159-693) be attached to the vehicle frame for mounting the radar.

1)

Park vehicle on level surface.

2)

Select mounting site by considering the following: a) The line of sight from the lens to the ground must not be obstructed by structures or tires. Obstructions must not come closer than 20 inches to the bottom of the radar. See Figures 1 and 2. b) The radar lens must be parallel to the ground from front to back. Radar can be tilted out 0-15 degrees to provide more clearance and miss obstructions. See Figure 2. c) The radar should be mounted so that the length of the radar is parallel with direction of vehicle travel.

3)

Use carpenters level to verify that mounting bracket is parallel to the ground.

4)

Bolt mounting bracket to implement.

5)

Bolt radar to mounting bracket using mounting hardware.

6)

Connect radar with Radar Interface Cable (P/N 115-0159-539), to the Console.

The Red wire should be connected to the Orange cable wire. The White wire should be connected to the White cable wire (See "BATTERY CONNECTIONS").

CAUTION:

The connection of the radar power in reverse polarity could result in damage to the Radar.

CALCULATING "BOOM CAL"

1)

Broadcast Spraying Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips times the spacing.

Write these boom widths down for future reference when programming the Console.

FIGURE 7

2)

Band Spraying Calculate the width of each boom in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips by the spacing. Calculate the Adjusted Applied Rate by multiplying the Broadcast Rate by Band Width in inches [cm] divided by Spacing in inches [cm].

EXAMPLE:

Broadcast Rate Spacing Band Width

Adjusted Applied Rate

= 20 GPA [200 lit/ha] = 40 inches [100 cm] = 14 inches [40 cm]

=

GPA x Band Width Spacing

=

20 x 14 = 7 GPA 40

=

[200] x [40] = [80 lit/ha] [100]

CALCULATING "SPEED CAL" Initial SPEED CAL is 598 [152] when using the Raven radar. Complete Steps 1 thru 6 to refine this number after "INITIAL CONSOLE PROGRAMMING" has been completed.

1)

Set POWER switches to ON, all other switches to OFF.

2)

EXAMPLE:

Assume DISTANCE reads 5000 [980].

Corrected SPEED CAL = Old SPEED CAL x 5280 DISTANCE ENGLISH UNITS: = 598 x 5280 = 631.48 5000

METRIC UNITS: = [152] x [1000] = [155] [980]

The number to enter for SPEED CAL is 631 [155].

5)

Enter the number calculated for SPEED CAL.

6)

Recheck the new SPEED CAL derived in Step 5 by repeating Steps 2 thru 5.

3.

CALCULATING "METER CAL" The Flow Meter calibration number is stamped on the tag attached to each Flow Meter.

Write down this number for future reference when programming the Console.

280 - 16

CALCULATING "RATE 1 AND RATE 2 CAL" Determine the application rate at which chemical is to be sprayed. Consult with a dealer to ensure these spray nozzles are capable of applying at this rate. In determining which spray nozzles to use with the sprayer the following must be known: 1) Nominal Application Pressure 2) Target Application Rate 3) Target Speed 4) Nozzle Spacing

___ PSI [kpa] ___ GPA [lit/ha] ___ MPH [km/h] ___ inches [cm]

From this information, calculate the volume per minute, per nozzle as follows: GPM [lit/min] = GPA [lit/ha] x MPH [km/h] x inches [cm] 5,940 [60,000] EXAMPLE:

1) 2) 3) 4)

Application Pressure Target Application Rate Target Speed Nozzle Spacing

GPM = 20 GPA x 5.2 MPH x 20 inches 5,940

= 30 PSI = 20 GPA = 5.2 MPH = 20 inches = .35

Using GPM .35 and pressure 30 select tip number XR8004 from the chart below, since it comes closest to providing the desired output.

VERIFYING FLOW RATE LIMITS: The flow rate of spraying must be within the range of that specified for the Flow Meter included.

If the actual volume per minute falls below this limit, the Control Valve stops closing, an alarm sounds, and the display flashes LOW LIMIT . The low limit value should be determined with all booms ON. This value is automatically proportional to the percentage of booms that are ON. (i.e. If the entered low limit is 4 and half the total boom length is shut off, the Console automatically reduces the low limit to 2).

NOTE: Go to DATA MENU to silence alarm.

CONTROL VALVE DELAY Depress

until display shows CONTROL VALVE DELAY.

The first digit,

( X 0 0 0 ), is the Control Valve delay digit. This feature allows the user to set a delay between the time the booms are turned ON and when the Console begins to control the flow rate. A value of 1-9 means a delay of 1-9 seconds respectively.

A value of 0 means no delay. This delay is active if the time between turning OFF and turning ON the booms is less than 30 seconds.

9.

ZERO SPEED SHUT-OFF This function will be active when C-FC (Fast Close Valve) or C-PC (PWM Close Valve) is selected. This function can not be disabled. When C-FC or C-PC has been selected, the valve will receive a decrease signal and run closed when the speed drops to .7 MPH or less. The only way the console can operate at .7 MPH or less is in the manual mode.

When a zero speed shut-off has occured, the MASTER switch must be turned OFF and then ON to restart the system. If a constant speed greater than .7 MPH is not attained within 10 seconds, the zero speed shut-off will be enacted again.

RIM DRILLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHEEL DRIVE SPEED SENSOR MAGNETS

On wheels which do not have pre-punched mounting holes, proceed as follows: RIMS WITH FOUR OR EIGHT HOLE STUD PATTERN: Choose stud holes that are opposite each other as shown below. Using the center of opposite holes, scribe two lines on the rim web to divide the circumference into four equal parts. Measure in one inch from the outer edge of the web on each of the lines drawn. Mark this point as the center. Drill four 1/2" holes for mounting the magnets.

NOTE: Distance (D) between each set of drilled holes must be equal within 1/8 [3 mm] to ensure accuracy of system.

RIMS WITH SIX HOLE STUD PATTERN: Locate the center of the holes to be drilled by using the rim webbing as a guide.

Obtain a small piece of wood and cut to fit exactly over the web as shown. Measure the length of the piece of wood and mark the center on one edge. Using the center mark on the piece of wood, mark each of the four webs. Measure in one inch from the outer edge of the web on each of the lines drawn. Mark this point as center and drill four 1/2" holes for mounting the magnets.

NOTE: Distance (D) between each set of drilled holes must be equal within 1/8" [3 mm] to ensure accuracy of system.

CALCULATING "SPEED CAL"

1)

Place a chalk mark or tape onto the vehicle tire that the Speed Sensor mounted to it as shown below.

2)

Mark the initial spot on the ground.

3)

Drive vehicle straight ahead counting 10 full revolutions of the wheel. The mark must stop at the same position it was in when the vehicle started.

4)

Measure the distance from the ground starting mark to stopping mark in inches [dm] (Round off fractions).

5)

Write down this distance as the SPEED CAL number; keep it for future reference when programming the Console.

NOTE: This measurement is critical to the performance of the Console. MEASURE CAREFULLY. Be sure tire is properly inflated before measuring. Measure tire in type of soil in which you will be spraying. Circumference of tire will vary when measured in soft soil versus hard packed soil. For best results, measure several times and average the results.

Large tires and very low speed applications may require additional magnets to insure accurate speed readings. Any even number of magnets may be used as long as they are of alternating color and equally spaced. After calculating "SPEED CAL", this number must be adjusted according to the number of magnets used.

Normal Number of Magnets Actual Number of Magnets Example:

4 6

x Speed Cal = Adjusted Speed Cal

x 1200 = 800

SCS 330, SCS 500 and SCS 550 normally use two magnets. All other consoles normally use four magnets.

2)

Enter “0” in key labelled

3)

Enter a SPEED CAL of 612 [155] in key labelled

4)

Drive 1 mile [1 km].

CAUTION:

5)

Do not use vehicle odometer to determine distance. lines or Highway markers.

Use section

Read DISTANCE by depressing key labelled

a)

DISTANCE should read a value of approximately 5280 [1000]. If it reads between 5200-5350 [990-1010], the SPEED CAL for your vehicle is 612 [155].

b)

If the DISTANCE display reads any other value, perform the following calculation: Multiply the SPEED CAL by the target distance reading, then divide the sum by the actual value in DISTANCE display. This will give you the corrected value to enter for SPEED CAL. You must round off to the nearest 3 digit whole number.

EXAMPLE:

=

SPEED CAL = 612 [155] Target distance reading = 5280 [1000] Assume the actual DISTANCE display reads 5000 [980] ENGLISH UNITS: 612 x 5280 = 646.3 5000

METRIC UNITS: = [155] x [1000] = [158.1] [980]

The corrected number to enter for SPEED CAL is 646 [158].

6)

Enter the number calculated for SPEED CAL.

7)

Verify the corrected SPEED CAL number calculated above: a)
