1. Unfoldthesprayeroveraflat,unobstructedarea(i.e.nopowerlines…etc.).

2. Ensureallboom‐foldoperationsarefunctional(placeacheckmarkinboxesbelow).

3. Bringenginetofield‐operationalRPMandrecordbelow.

4. Recordthetime(seconds)ittakesforafullstrokeforallboomfunctions.Toensurerepeatable

measurements,taketheaverageof3trials.

5. NotallsprayerswillhavethefunctionslistedbelowinFigure2.



Ensuretheboomhassufficienttravelsoitdoesnotcontactthegroundduringthesetests.

5.2. UltrasonicSensorMountingGuidelines

Thefollowingguidelineswillensureoptimalsensorperformanceandpreventsensormeasurementerror.

1. Initslowestposition,thesensormustbe9inches(230mm)ormorefromtheground.

2. Ensurethattherearenoobstructionswithina12inch(300mm)diametercircleprojecteddirectlybelow

thecenterofthesensor.

3. Thesensorshouldbeapproximatelyverticalatnormaloperatingheights.



5.3. LowProfileBracketMountingGuidelines

1. Minimizethedistancebetweentheboltstopreventbendingthebracketandpreventthebracketfrom

looseningovertime.

2. Ensurethebracketismountedtightagainstthebottomoftheboom,minimizingthedistancebetweenthe

boomstructureandtheangledflange.
