INTRODUCTION
Note: The use of Aerial Application of Agricultural Chemicals is an area that is very delicate and dangerous if not handled correctly. It is the exclusive responsibility of the operator of the equipment and not of the manufacturer of the equipment to install, maintain and operate the system while insuring all safeguards are adhered to. Properly installed and operated equipment will provide ample benefits to the owner of the equipment, the operator and the environment. The consequences of improperly operated equipment and/or improper use of chemicals are detrimental to both the operator and the environment. This requires that the operator take all precautions to protect ones sight and avoid respiratory and skin exposure and follow all recommendations of the chemical manufacturers Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

BASIC USE AND DESIGN CRITERIA

The Aerial Application Agricultural Spray System is a culmination of more than 20 years of development of Controlled Droplet Application (CDA) technology by such AG companies as Broyhill, Micronair, Aerolites and others. We have, after years of use in the field, taken the system to the next generation with new pump combinations and spray heads designed to be more reliable. First used on Quicksilver s Ultralight in 1982, the technology and the results obtained by it leave no question that low and ultra low volume CDA spraying is a viable alternative in today s environmentally aware world. Better results are achieved with fewer chemicals. Ultra-low volume (ULV) systems have successfully been shown to use as little as 1/10, or less, of the liquid volume that is used in conventional crop spraying. The spray system is unique in that it is designed to produce droplet sizes in a range of 60-250 microns with 95% consistency. This size range is the ideal killing range for most insects, plant diseases and weeds. A controlled droplet spectrum of a narrow range is made possible through use of the high-speed rotating grooved and toothed atomizing cup, air driven by multi-blade propellers. This enables the spray system to be used for all areas of pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, as well as liquid fertilizer, herbicides and maturing agents. The spray system has been customized to fit the Quicksilver GT 500. The GT 500 is equipped with a 24-gallon (91 liter) tank. This allows for more coverage per load. The standard chemical tank of the GT 500 spray system is translucent fiberglass so one can determine exactly how much liquid remains in the tank. The tank and spray system can be removed in about 30 minutes to operate the aircraft with two seats for recreational flying. Standard equipment on the spray system is a high volume, constant speed, 12 volt, electric pump that is capable of a flow rate of over 8 gallons/minute (30 liters/min.) at 15 psi. These flow rates will enable your spray system equipped aircraft to be used in applying liquid fertilizer and some herbicide and fungicide applications requiring higher volumes. The pump system utilizes a remote on/off switch as standard equipment. With a spray speed of 60 mph (52 knots) and an effective swath width up to 60 feet (18.3 meters), the GT 500 spray system will cover an impressive 7 acres/minute (2.8 hectare/min.) when spraying insecticide at a rate of 1 quart/acre (2.4 liters/hectare) of total spray. Carrying a 24-gallon (91 liter) load, the GT 500 spray system will cover 96 acres (39 hectare) per load.

When installing the spray system on the aircraft, these concrete benefits stand out: *Significant reduction in application cost by utilizing an ultralight/light aircraft. *Important time savings due to fewer fill-ups, more acres/hectares covered per load and per day, and no recharging on battery back up. *Notable improvement in coverage and control through consistent application of the best suited droplet size for better penetration of crop canopy, decreased drift potential and evaporation, and greater adherence of chemical to the leaves. *Aircraft performance is at its best owing to the designed low system weight and the Spray System minimal drag. And, according to a NASA study done in the 1960 s, you are spraying at near the ideal spraying speed for chemical application: 44 mph (70 km/h). Larger airplanes and helicopters can not operate near that speed because their downwash disrupts the controlled droplet mist application. Combining the low initial cost of a CDA spray system with the low operating expense of an ultralight/light aircraft, the possibility of tremendous cost savings to the world's agricultural industries is within reach. The spray system was designed to promote economically and ecologically sound spray methods that are the future of agricultural aviation.
CONTROLLED DROPLET APPLICATION

The spray system's nozzles utilize centrifugal force instead of hydraulic pressure to create spray patterns. This technology is referred to as CDA, or Controlled Droplet Application. The objective of CDA is to produce the proper size droplet to effectively apply the chemical. The chemical and its target determine the proper size droplet. The aim when spraying is to uniformly cover the target surface with a given concentration of chemical. The key to this successful application is determined primarily by droplet size. Herein lies the advantage of CDA as compared to hydraulic atomization. CDA is a proven way to produce uniform droplet size. Hydraulic nozzles, on the other hand, emit droplet size that may vary from 10 to 500 microns, or larger. This wide variation in droplet size causes inefficient application of the chemical.

Special Air Services rotary spray nozzles break the droplets into a more uniform size.

Droplets from a conventional nozzle range from very small to very large.

10.Connect the brass fitting on the "T" valve to the pressure gauge assembly attached to the instrument control panel using 1/4" clear polyflow tubing, part #AG6012. Tighten the compression fittings. Note: Route the 1/4" clear polyflow tubing along the right side of the cockpit, to the instrument control panel and route along the top of the instrument control panel to the back of the pressure control gauge. Do not kink, bend or crimp tubing during installation. Final Connections Note: Refer to the Electrical Schematic in Appendix 2 for wire connections. 1. Connect the wire from the relay on the pump assembly to the 25-amp breaker located on the aircraft throttle mount plate. The wire should be connected to point 24A of the 25 amp breaker as illustrated in the assembly manual on page 2-237, Main Wiring Harness Electrical Schematic. 2. Connect the wire from the 5 amp breaker on the fumigation control panel assembly to point 24A of the 25 amp breaker as illustrated in the assembly manual on page 2-237, Main Wiring Harness Electrical Schematic.

3. Connect the battery by attaching the two wires connected to the relay to the battery terminals. The cable connected to a power pole of the relay must be attached to the positive terminal on the battery. The cable connected to the relay ground (mounting foot) must be attached to the negative terminal on the battery.

19

4. Connect the wire from the pump switch on the Fumigation Control Panel Assembly to the pole at the top of the relay. 5. Verify the pump is connected with the brown wire to the other power pole of the relay and the blue wire to the relay ground (mounting foot). Preliminary Hydraulic System Leak Check 1. Fill the tank half way with water and close cover on tank. 2. Turn the Master Switch on the Fumigation Equipment Control Panel to the ON position. 3. Adjust the pressure regulator valve to full open. 4. Turn the Pump Switch on the Fumigation Equipment Control Panel to the ON position. System should now be discharging water through the openings in the sprayer tubes on both the right and left sides. 5. Carefully check all connections in the hydraulic system to insure that all connections are tight and no leakage is occurring. If any leakage is evident, check and tighten connections to correct the situation. 6. When the system check is completed, turn the Pump Switch and the Master Switch to the Off Positions. Caution: Take precautions to ensure that no fluid leaks on the battery and/or electrical system.

Installation and alignment of Nozzle Assemblies and Sprayer Tubes 1. Attach the Nozzle Assemblies, part #AG-1001, to the sprayer tubes by inserting the Filter and Check valve into the Mounting Nozzle assembly (part #AG-4005) on the sprayer tube. Insert the Orifice Tapered Cone into the Nozzle Assembly (see illustration for proper orientation) with the Restriction Washer between the Orifice Tapered Cone and the Filter and Check Valve. Then screw the assemblies together tightly. Continue attaching the Nozzle Assemblies onto the tubes in each of six locations per side. Note: Make sure that the filter and check valve are in place on the sprayer tube side of the connection and that the Restriction Washer and Orifice Tapered Cone are in place on the sprayer head side of the connection when attaching. See illustrations below. 20

2. Turn the flow/pressure control valve to the off position. Repeat hydraulic system leak check to test that the sprayer heads are functioning properly. Place an empty bucket under each head to capture spray and monitor that the heads are spraying water in equal proportions. If any heads are not spraying properly, check connections to insure that the flow is not being impeded.

21

3. In order to align the sprayer tubes properly to their final position, the plane must positioned to where the root tube is horizontally level to the ground. 4. Adjust the sprayer booms to a position which is 20-degrees downward, (loosen hose clamps prior to rotating sprayer booms) and the sprayer tubes are fixed in their position below the center of the wings. Securely tighten all connections when the sprayer boom has been properly aligned and then recheck that the sprayer heads are pointing 20-degrees downward and that the sprayer tubes are positioned under the center of the wings.

22

Final Hydraulic System Leak Check 1. Fill the tank half way with water and close cover on tank. 2. Turn the Master Switch on the Fumigation Equipment Control Panel to the ON position. 3. Adjust the pressure regulator valve to full open so that pressure is low. 4. Turn the Pump Switch on the Fumigation Equipment Control Panel to the ON position. System should now be discharging water through the openings in the sprayer tubes on both the right and left sides. 5. Carefully check all connections in the hydraulic system to insure that all connections are tight and no leakage is occurring. If any leakage is evident, check and tighten connections to correct the situation. 6. When the system check is completed, turn the Pump Switch and the Master Switch to the Off Positions. 7. Adjust the pressure regulator valve to full closed so that pressure is high. 23

8. Repeat steps 4 through 6 to check system at maximum pressure. Caution: Take precautions to ensure that no fluid leaks on the battery and/or electrical system. Final System Check 1. Ensure the security of the installed tank, pump, battery, hoses, control panel and spray booms. 2. Verify that all control operations, such as elevator, rudder, flap, brake and throttle function freely and that no hoses or AG system components interfere with the operation of the aircraft. Warning! Adjustments CANNOT be made during flight to components installed in the aft seat position. Therefore it is imperative to ensure that no components will shift or obstruct the controls during flight which could cause a hazardous condition. Note: The use of Aerial Application of Agricultural Chemicals is an area that is very delicate and dangerous if not handled correctly. It is the exclusive responsibility of the operator of the equipment and not of the manufacturer of the equipment to install, maintain and operate the system while insuring all safeguards are adhered to. Properly installed and operated equipment will provide ample benefits to the owner of the equipment, the operator and the environment. The consequences of improperly operated equipment and/or improper use of chemicals are detrimental to both the operator and the environment. This requires that the operator take all precautions to protect ones sight and avoid respiratory and skin exposure and follow all recommendations of the chemical manufacturers Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

Flight and Application Procedures

1. In order to protect neighboring areas from contamination and/or damage we recommend a minimum of meters of buffer zone between the neighboring fields or areas. 2. Do not turn on pump until ready to spray to avoid the possible discharge of chemicals. The flow/pressure control valve should also be left in the open position until you are ready to begin sprayer application in order for the liquid to be continuously mixed. 3. The area to be sprayed should be properly mapped out beforehand utilizing either a moving flagman (who is properly protected), preset flags indicating the prescribed flight path or a GPS system.

General Maintenance 1. The sprayers will constantly rotate during flight and will determine the size and dispersion of the droplets during application. The sprayers must be properly lubricated before and after each tank of material is applied. The type of fluid recommended is light oil such as transmission fluid. The oil should be applied using an oil can with a tube attached and the oil injected into the opening on the side of the sprayer head assembly as shown in illustration #XXX. The oil should be applied until you visually see the oil coming out of the front of the sprayer. Manually check by hand that the propellers are spinning freely and smoothly. 2. When filling the tank with the chemical solution a manual or motorized pump should be used to avoid spilling any liquid outside of the tank. If any spillage occurs, the spill must be thoroughly and properly cleaned. Note: Some materials may be determined by the manufacturer to be flammable. Special precautions must be taken when using these types of material to avoid any possibility of combustion. 3. It is important that after completion of an application that the plane and equipment be thoroughly rinsed with clean water. This should be done 25

in a manner and location that allows for the collection of the runoff of the solution as this solution is considered contaminated and could potentially cause damage to the surrounding area and environment. 4. The tank and system also need to be thoroughly flushed to insure that all residual material has been purged from the tank, system, tubes and sprayer heads. It is recommended that this purge be repeated a minimal of five times to insure that no residual material remains. Again, the rinse solution must be captured and/or collected to insure that the contaminated fluid does not cause damage to the surrounding area and environment. 5. Once the system has been thoroughly flushed with clean water, it needs to be flushed with a 40 to 1 mixture of water and _________________. 6. If the equipment is to be stored for any period of time, the sprayer heads should be removed and soaked in a diesel oil solution. If the equipment is not to be used for an extended period, the heads should be removed from the diesel oil solution and wrapped in paper and stored in an airtight container. 7. The filter must also be properly cleaned by opening the filter cap and removing the enclosed filter. The filter must be thoroughly rinsed prior to the filter assembly being reassembled. Sprayer Head Assembly Maintenance 1. The sprayer heads are elements of extreme importance to the proper functioning of the system. They contain a pair of ball bearings that need to rotate freely with lubricant to insure high RPM life and during their usage they are exposed to the agrochemical solutions that seep through the dosificator. The aspersor cone is a very delicate component that can not have any damage on the air grooves or teeth at the end of it. The condition of the cone is critical in order to control the size and dispersion of the droplets. The bearings, dosificator and aspersor cones should be carefully cleaned and inspected for damage after each application. Special care should be taken when reassembling to insure that each item is defect free and assembled in their proper order for them to function properly.
