Set-up and Maintenance for CP® Sprayer Turbo Nozzles

TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS

CP-65T-S, CP-65-SH and CP-65-SL Sprayer Turbo Nozzles have quarter-turn quick change bodies with two back-to-back dials. They attache to any standard check valve fitting for quick-turn caps. Nozzle bodies are nylon. Selectors (orifice plate) and tip wheels are 30% glass-filled polyproprylene. Deflector tips are 10% glass-filled polyprylene for low and standard models. High volume versions have stainless steel deflector tips.

One dial has six numbered metering orifices with standard flat fan flow rates. The second has three numbered deflector tips which control droplet spectrum for the various orficies. Twist the first dial to the desied orifice and turn the second dial to the appropriate deflector tip. Any deflector tip may be used with any orifice. Changes in use of deflector tips may be made to alter the droplet spectrum to smaller or larger droplets. Overlapping flow rates among orfices provide increased available droplet sizes for a given flow rate over that controlled be the deflector tip selection alone.

On initial use, the deflector tips may show an uneven pattern. This is caused by tiny glass filaments which may be rubbed off with light finger nail pressure. Using the nozzles will smooth the edges very quickly.

TUNE-UP TIPS

Like all precision equipment, CP® Nozzles perform better with good maintenance. During the season, make sure that the stainless steel nuts are tight enought to provide heavy drag on the seals, as nuts may loosen through vibration and repeated orifice changes. This will minimize debris accumulation around seal and detent ball and spring.

We recommend the following be done prior to the beginning of each new season:

• Holding the nozzle upright, remove nut, deflector wheel and selector. Turn nozzle upside down catching the detent springs and balls on a towel. Blow out detent chanber. Throughly wipe all dust residue from seal, selector, deflector wheel and nozzle body.
  
  
• Fill detent spring chanbers with maring bearing grease. Push springs and detent balls into chambers. Install selector, deflector, washer and nut.
  
  
• Tighten nut so there is heavy drag on the seal.
  


This maintenance is especially recommended when the liquic fertilizer has been used. Liquic fertilizer can be drying enough to cause the detent to lock, if not well lubricated.
