Introduction
The TeeJet XR11004VS Extended Range Spray Tip is designed for precision spraying in various applications, offering excellent spray distribution and reduced drift across a wide pressure range. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your spray tip to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Product Features
- Ideal for rigs equipped with sprayer controllers.
- Reduces drift at lower pressures, better coverage at higher pressures.
- Excellent spray distribution over a wide range of pressures.
- Present in 80 deg and 110 deg spray angles with VisiFlo color-coding.
Product Overview
Setup
- Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves and eye protection when handling spray equipment and chemicals.
- Inspect Components: Before installation, ensure the spray tip, cap, and gasket are clean and free from damage.
- Install Gasket: Place the appropriate gasket (e.g., EPDM, Viton) into the Quick TeeJet cap.
- Insert Tip: Carefully insert the XR11004VS spray tip into the cap, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Attach to Nozzle Body: Thread the Quick TeeJet cap onto the nozzle body of your sprayer. Hand-tighten until snug. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the tip or cap.
- Verify Alignment: For automatic spray alignment, ensure you are using compatible Quick TeeJet caps and gaskets. Otherwise, manually align the spray pattern as desired.
- Leak Check: After installation, fill the sprayer with water and pressurize to check for any leaks around the tip and cap.
Operating Instructions
- Pressure Range: The XR11004VS tip is designed to operate effectively across a pressure spectrum of 15 to 60 PSI (1–4 bar). Refer to the flow rate chart for specific application rates at different pressures.
- Spray Height: Maintain the recommended spray height above the target to achieve uniform coverage and minimize drift. Consult application charts for optimal height based on nozzle spacing and spray angle.
- Travel Speed: Adjust your travel speed to achieve the desired application volume. Slower speeds increase application volume, while faster speeds decrease it.
- Wind Conditions: Avoid spraying in windy conditions to prevent drift and ensure accurate application. The extended range design helps reduce drift, but extreme wind should still be avoided.
- Chemical Compatibility: Ensure the spray tip material (stainless steel) is compatible with the chemicals being sprayed.
Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly rinse the spray tip with clean water to remove any chemical residues.
- Unclogging: If the tip becomes clogged, remove it from the sprayer and clean it using a soft brush or a specialized nozzle cleaning tool. Do not use metal objects or wire, as this can damage the orifice and alter the spray pattern.
- Inspect for Wear: Periodically inspect the tip for signs of wear, such as a distorted spray pattern or increased flow rate at a given pressure. Worn tips should be replaced to maintain application accuracy.
- Gasket Replacement: Replace gaskets regularly, especially if they show signs of wear, cracking, or if leaks occur.
- Storage: Store spray tips in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Distorted Spray Pattern | Clogged orifice; Worn tip; Incorrect pressure | Clean tip; Replace tip; Adjust pressure to recommended range |
| Reduced Flow Rate | Partial clog; Insufficient pump pressure | Clean tip; Check pump and pressure regulator |
| Leaks at Nozzle Body | Damaged or missing gasket; Loose cap | Replace gasket; Tighten cap |
| Excessive Drift | Too high pressure; Too high spray height; Windy conditions | Reduce pressure; Lower spray boom; Avoid spraying in wind |
