Operating Instructions

The TeeJet AI11005-VS is an air induction flat spray tip, designed to produce larger, air-filled droplets for reduced drift while maintaining excellent spray coverage.

Application Rate Chart

Refer to the application rate chart below to determine the appropriate pressure (PSI) and speed (MPH) for your desired flow rate (GPM) and coverage. This chart is crucial for achieving accurate and effective spray applications.

This chart provides detailed data for various TeeJet nozzle models, including the AI11005-VS, showing flow rates in Gallons Per Minute (GPM) and Gallons Per Acre (GPA) at different pressures (PSI) and speeds (MPH). It helps users calibrate their sprayers for precise application.

General Operation Guidelines:

• Pressure Range: Operate within the recommended pressure range for the AI11005-VS tip, which is up to 115 PSI, to ensure proper spray pattern and droplet size.
• Spray Height: Maintain the correct boom height to ensure uniform spray overlap and coverage.
• Speed: Adjust your ground speed according to the application rate chart to achieve the desired GPA.
• Chemical Compatibility: Ensure the spray tip material (Stainless Steel, Polymer) is compatible with the chemicals being sprayed.
• Drift Reduction: The air induction design helps reduce drift, but always consider environmental conditions like wind speed and direction.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your TeeJet AI11005-VS spray tip and ensure consistent performance.

• Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly flush the sprayer system with clean water. If chemicals were used, follow the chemical manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning.
• Nozzle Cleaning: If the spray tip becomes clogged, remove it from the nozzle body. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clear any obstructions. Do not use metal objects like wires or pins, as this can damage the orifice and alter the spray pattern.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the spray tip for wear, damage, or excessive abrasion, especially the orifice. A worn orifice will result in an altered spray pattern and increased flow rate.
• Storage: Store spray tips in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
