I got a great comment this past week from a Turf Manager " A bad cut will grow out but a bad spray application will cost you your job." AMEN! I have seen in my travels where people are rolling the dice with their sprayers. Some things to think about:
1) How often do you recheck your calibration?
2) Is your sprayer up to date with all factory recommended service? (Pump rebuilds)
3) How clean is your spray system? ( Do you have excessive residue in your hoses/agitation)
4) When is the last time you had your Raven and flow meter recalibrated?
5) Don't ignore pressure spikes!
Do you have a cleaning process in place that you follow every time?
Does anyone who uses the sprayer follow the same steps?
I would urge you to take a look at your sprayers this week and all your processes. It is a time investment that is worth it!
Take a look at this link for some calibration info from Toro:
