Operation
PARTS MANUALS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT smithco.com
OPERATION
Before using the Spray Star, the operator and spray technician must familiarize themselves with all of the information 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.
TOWING UNIT
When it is necessary to move the Spray Star 1750 without the engine running, the bypass valve located on the back of
the hydrostatic pump must be "open" by turning it
1
/
4
turn to open. The valve is located on the bottom of the pump. An
"open" valve allows fluid to pass through the wheels freely. When normal driven operation is desired, valve should be
"closed" by turning it clockwise. Failure to "close" the valve with engine running means no power to wheels.
HILLSIDE OPERATION
Do NOT stop or start suddenly on any slope. Be especially cautious when changing direction. Do NOT operate on
slopes greater than 10°.
BATTERY
Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury. Do not allow flames, sparks or any ig-
nited object to come near the battery. When charging or working near battery, always shield your eyes and always pro-
vide proper ventilation.
Battery cable should be disconnected before using “Fast Charge”.
Charge battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes or 7 amps for 30 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended charging rate. If
electrolyte starts boiling over, decrease charging.
Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and replace it last. Avoid hazards by:
1. Filling batteries in well-ventilated areas.
2. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
3. Avoid breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.
Battery Electrolyte is an acidic solution and should be handled with care. If electrolyte is
splashed on any part of your body, flush all contact areas immediately with liberal
amounts of water. Get medical attention immediately.
JUMP STARTING
Use of booster battery and jumper cables. Particular care should be used when
connecting a booster battery. Use proper polarity in order to prevent sparks.
To jump start (negative grounded battery):
1. Shield eyes.
2. Connect ends of one cable to positive (+) terminals of each
battery, first (A) then (B).
3. Connect one end of other cable to negative (-) terminal of
"good" battery (C).
4. Connect other end of cable (D) to engine block on unit being
started (NOT to negative (-) terminal of battery)
To prevent damage to other electrical components on unit being
started, make certain that engine is at idle speed before discon-
necting jumper cables.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
SPRAYER VALVE SETTINGS AND SPRAY TANK AGITATION
The gate valve on the suction side of the pump, between the tank and the pump must be open before pump is
engaged. Close this valve only when necessary to clean the filter with spray material in the spray tank.
There is one manual flow control valve on the discharge side of the spray system. This valve controls the agita-
tor. This valve may be opened as much as necessary to provide hydraulic agitation through the quadrajet agitator
in the tank bottom. This valve may be partially closed to prevent or reduce foam buildup from the spray materials
inside the tank. When the liquid level in the spray tank reaches a certain level (usually 1-25 gallons (3.8-95 Li-
ters) depending on terrain and other conditions) it may be necessary to close the valve in the agitator line in
order to prevent loss of suction prime.
If your Spray Star is fitted with a hose reel, there is a second ball valve on the discharge system to supply mate-
rial to the hose reel.
The Quadrajet agitation system operates with four venturi jets in the tank bottom. These jets have replaceable
orifice discs which discharge the following amounts of spay material.

You can change orifice disc sizes to enhance spray system performance. Smaller discs reduce amount of agita-
tion (desirable in some foaming materials) and make more dischargeable liquid available for nozzles. Larger (or
none) discs increase amount of agitation and make less dischargeable liquid available for nozzles.
INITIAL SYSTEM SETUP
1. Fill tank with water only.
2. Place Master On/Off switch to On, Boom On/Off switches to Off, and open tank shut-off valves.
3. With Pump not running, fully open main line hand valve and totally close agitator line hand valve.
4. Verify that each boom solenoid valve operates by operating Boom On/Off switches and that no nozzles are
plugged.
5. Place all Boom On/Off switches On.
6. Hold the Pressure Adjust switch in the increase position until the pressure stops increasing and begins to
decrease.
7. Adjust agitator line hand valve for desired agitation.
8. Close the main line hand valve, if necessary, to set the maximum desired operating pressure. (The
maximum pressure should be approximately 10 psi (69 kPA), above the normal spraying pressure.)
9. Hold the Pressure Adjust switch in the decrease position until the pressure stops decreasing and begins
to increase. If desired minimum pressure cannot be obtained, install larger bypass hose.
10. Verify the desired maximum pressure of the sprayer system by repeating step 6.

CONSOLE FEATURES
A. Master Boom Switch - Activates or stops boom spraying.
B. Individual Boom Switches - Used to activate any of up to 3 booms on a sprayer.
C. PSI Gauge - Indicates the pressure of fluid in the system.
D. Pressure Switch - Used to activate the motorized control valve
E. Fuse Holder - The fuse holder holds one 15 Amp fuse.
CALIBRATING THE PRESSURE GAUGE
The pressure tap on the Raven Sprayer Control system is located away from the nozzles, thus, there can be a pressure
difference between nozzle pressure and gauge pressure at the console. Therefore, for best results, Raven recom-
mends the following procedure:
1. When the sprayer is ready and the tank is filled with water (No chemicals at this time), attach an accurate
pressure gauge to a nozzle in place of the spray tip.
2. Start up the pump, turn on the electric shut-off valves and adjust the pressure control valve so that the desired
pressure is maintained on the gauge at the nozzle.
3. Because of pressure drops through the system, the pressure shown on the gauge in the console may read
slightly higher than the gauge at the nozzle. Use this console pressure reading as your reference point for
maintaining the desired pressure at the nozzle.
PROCEDURE TO RE-CALIBRATE FLOWMETER
1. Enter a Meter Cal number of 10 in Meter Cal Button
2. Enter a Total Volume of Calibrating the Pressure Gauge in Total Volume button
3. Switch Off all booms.
4. Remove a boom hose and place in calibrated 5 gallon container
5. Switch on appropriate boom switch and master switch. Pump exactly 10 gallons.
6. Readout in Total Volume is the new Meter Cal Number. Should be within 3% of number stamped on flowmeter.
7. Repeat the procedure several times to ensure accuracy.
8. To verify calibration, fill applicator tank with predetermined amount of measured liquid. DO NOT RELAY ON
GRADUATION NUMBERS ON TANK. Empty tank under normal operatin conditions. If the number under totla
volume is different from the predetermined amount of measure by more than 3% compete calculation in back of
book.
9. Enter corrected Meter Cal before resumin application.

SPRAY OPERATION
SPRAY OPERATION (After Proper Setup and Calibration)
1. Add
1
/2 the amount of water required for the spray operation to tank using air gap filler.
2. Start engine, set engine speed below 2000 RPM, and engage pump after taking all previously described
safety and operation precautions.
3. Open agitator valve.
4. Add chemicals (taking all precautions described in this manual and by the chemical manufacturer).
a. Liquids may be poured directly into tank.
b. Wettable powder chemicals must be pre-mixed with water in a container to form a slurry. The mixture
is then added to the tank through the fillwell strainer.
c. Chemical in soluble packs are place into the fillwell strainer basket and dissolved by adding water
through the basket.
The balance of the water required for the spray operation is added to the tank through the fillwell strainer,
using the air gap filler. This will wash any undissolved chemical into the tank.
5. Transport to sprayer site with and agitator operating.
6. Set Engine speed between 2000-3200 RPM.
7. (Optional) Engage ground speed control.
8. Obtain desired spraying speed before activating spray with switches on spray control console.
9.
The master boom switch, 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 834 Systems
the Master Switch on the computer must be on for the master boom control switch to work. For the 440
System the Master Switch on the computer must be off for the master boom control switch to work.
Review the capacity of nozzles being used. Total capacity of all nozzles plus
agitation system must not exceed pumping system capabilities refer to Spray-
ing Procedure section of this manual. FLUSH PUMP AFTER USE
