Operating Instructions
Follow these guidelines for effective and safe operation of the spray tip.
Pressure Settings:
The recommended operating pressure range for the TeeJet AI11004-VS is 30-115 PSI (2-8 bar). Operating within this range ensures the best spray pattern and drift reduction.
Application Rate Chart:
This image displays a detailed TeeJet Flat Application Rate Chart. The chart provides data for various TeeJet spray tips, including the AI11004-VS, showing flow rates in GPM (Gallons Per Minute) and nozzle output in OZ/MIN (Ounces Per Minute) at different PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) levels. It also includes application rates in Gallons Per Acre (GPA) and Gallons Per 1000 Square Feet (GPM/1000 SQ FT) based on different MPH (Miles Per Hour) speeds. Users should consult this chart to determine the appropriate pressure and speed for their desired application rate.
Refer to the TeeJet Flat Application Rate Chart to determine the correct pressure and speed for your specific application volume. This chart provides detailed information on flow rates and coverage based on various operating parameters.
Drift Reduction:
The air induction technology of this tip is designed to minimize drift. To further reduce drift, avoid spraying in windy conditions and ensure the spray boom height is appropriate for the application.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your spray tip and ensure consistent performance.
- Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly flush the spray tip with clean water to remove any chemical residues.
- Clog Removal: If the tip becomes clogged, remove it from the sprayer and clean it using a soft brush or compressed air. Do not use metal objects or sharp tools, as this can damage the orifice.
- Storage: Store the spray tip in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the tip for wear, damage, or blockages. Replace the tip if the spray pattern becomes uneven or flow rate is inconsistent.
Troubleshooting
Common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven Spray Pattern | Partially clogged orifice; Worn tip; Incorrect pressure. | Clean the tip; Replace the tip; Adjust pressure to recommended range. |
| Reduced Flow Rate | Clogged tip or filter; Low pump pressure. | Clean the tip and system filters; Check pump and pressure regulator. |
| Excessive Drift | Too high pressure; Spraying in windy conditions; Incorrect boom height. | Reduce pressure; Avoid spraying in high winds; Adjust boom height. |
| Leaking at Connection | Loose connection; Damaged gasket or O-ring. | Tighten connection; Replace gasket or O-ring. |
