It is important that the spray operator can access all of the components that require regular maintenance or calibration. This includes the ability to isolate the main tank from the rest of the spraying system when required.

Before purchasing or installing any new component, carefully consider what the flow requirements will be for the range of application volumes (L/ha) and spraying speeds likely to be done. This will help to identify the most appropriate components, such as pumps, flow meters and valves. 

This module has tried to provide an overview of how the spraying system can be set up to ensure each of the components works as it is intended to, along with many tips to make the installation and operation smoother.

For further information on specific components, always refer to the literature supplied by the product manufacturers.
