CAUTION: Do not turn on the machine until you are sure that nobody is in the danger zone.

• All maintenance has been performed.
• Correct nozzle tips are installed and set for the desired spray pattern and row spacing. (See Solution System section for proper nozzle tip and row spacing selection.)
• Wheel tread width is adjusted for row spacing. (See Set Tread Width—Without Hydraulic Tread Adjust Option, and Set Tread Width—With Hydraulic Tread Adjust Option in the Wheels, Tires, and Tread Section.)
• SprayStar™ display has been correctly programmed with the following: (See SprayStar™ System section to program information properly.)
  • Application Rates
  • Tank Volume
  • Minimum Spray Pressure
  • Spray Off Pressure
  • Number of Boom Sections
  • Nozzle Spacing
  • Spray Width
  • Check Flowmeter Calibration Number
  • Calibrate Pressure Sensor
  • Calibrate Wheel Speed Sensor
  • Calibrate Radar Sensor (if equipped)
• Solution tank is filled, solution valves are correctly positioned and agitation valve (if necessary) is open. (See Solution System Section.)
• Perform a nozzle flow check test. (See Nozzle Flow Check Test in SprayStar™System Section.)
• Perform the spray boom air bleed process. (See Recommendations for Eliminating Air from Solution System in Solution System Section.)
• Operator is familiar with all machine controls, their functions, and safe operations. (See Operator’s Station and Safety Sections.)
• Clean water tank is filled with clean water. (See Clean Water Tank in Solution System Section.)
