Adjusting the height of the spraying nozzles

To adjust the vertical position of the spraying nozzles, the following applies:

• The adjustment of the height C depends on the growth stage of the crop at the time of the spraying procedure: The taller the plants, the higher the spraying nozzles must be set.

• The spraying nozzles must always have a sufficient distance from the tip of the plants. If the plants have reached a height that exceeds the maximum height adjustment of the spraying nozzles, a spray treatment is no longer possible.

• By increasing or reducing the height C, the width B of the spray cone is increased or reduced. The width must be adjusted with the height adjustment such that when hoeing and spraying simultaneously, both the band D where weeds are not removed by the hoe shares and the edges of the hoed bands A adjacent to this area are treated with the spray agent. However, the width may not be so large that the spray agent reaches the parallelograms or mounting parts of the parallelograms.
