MASTER BOOM SWITCH
The master boom switch (K), located on the left floorboard is used to override the master switch on the computer
console of the spray systems. By pushing down, it will turn on/off the booms. For the Raven 440 System the
Master Switch on the computer must be off for the master boom control switch to work.
Before using the Spray Star, the operator and spray technician must familiarize themselves with all of the infor-
mation on chemical spraying contained in the Turf Spray Guide.
All testing and calibrating of sprayers is to be done with water, not chemicals. This insures
the safety to all involved in performing the calibration operation. Only after all calibration
procedures are completed should chemical be added to the sprayer.
