1-5
R-max.book Page 6 Tuesday, January 17, 2012 3:08 PM
Safety Precautions
Using Registered Agricultural Chemicals
Use nationally registered agricultural chemicals,
and use them properly by reading the usage
instructions and precautions included in the manual
for each respective chemical.
WARNING
Do not use agricultural chemicals other than
those registered. Failure to do so could
expose animals, plants, or people to agricultural chemicals for which the operator will be
held socially responsible.
WARNING
Control and handle agricultural chemicals
strictly in accordance with their manuals.
Negligent control and improper handling of
agricultural chemicals could lead to chemical
pollution or health hazards.
1-6
R-max.book Page 7 Tuesday, January 17, 2012 3:08 PM
Safety Precautions
Spray Chemical
Since the agricultural chemical is diluted at a low
dilution rate, make sure to observe the following:
(1) Agricultural Chemical
● Use nationally registered agricultural chemicals.
● In low-volume liquid spraying, the characteristics
of the agricultural chemical can easily change
when mixed with other agricultural chemicals,
and may produce solids or turn to a gum-like
state. When mixing, use agricultural chemicals
that have been checked in advance for physiochemical change, compatibility with the sprayer,
mixture toxicity, etc.
● Spreading agents (surface active agents) cannot
be added.
(2) Dilution Water
For dilution water, make sure to use tap water. Do
not use agricultural water, as this could lead to
debris clogging or characteristic change in the agricultural chemical.
Label
Tap Water
Agricultural
Water
(3) Dilution Rate
For example, to make 8
of spray solution of an
agricultural chemical diluted to 8x, dilute 1
of
agricultural chemical with 7
of tap water (dilution
water). This will make 8
of spray solution.
Agricultural chemical: 8
× 1/8 = 1
Tap water:
-1
(agricultural
chemical) = 7
Since flowable and water-dispersible chemicals can
easily precipitate, combine and mix them well just
before aerial application flight.

● Check the inside of the chemical tank (into which
the solution will be poured), the check valve, the
strainer section, and the filter for any debris or
sediments. If you find any debris or sediments,
make sure to remove them before pouring the
solution.
● Keep the chemical tank load to 8
or less per
side (16 combined for left and right tanks).

tanks are empty, air pockets will get entrained
inside the sprayer piping, causing the spraying condition to deteriorate.
With the chemical tanks set in place, if the air pockets are not completely released by discharging from
the nozzles, turn OFF the sprayer switch, and
release the air pockets as follows:
1 Facing the rear of the helicopter, turn the threeway cock handle on the rear of the sprayer so
that it points to your left.

Air Releasing Position (pointing left)
2 Turn ON the sprayer switch, and run the spray
pump for 5 to 7 seconds.
3 Point down the three-way cock to the spraying
position, and verify that the discharge condition
from the nozzle is good.

DANGER
When releasing air pockets, do not perform
the task (or allow others to approach the helicopter) until the main rotor has stopped
rotating completely and the engine has
stopped.
TIP
If you are using the speed-dependent function and need to release air after receiving
the GPS signal, set the sprayer selector
switch to “ ”. After releasing air pockets,
return the sprayer selector switch to “
”.

Spraying Method
Using the Speed-Dependent Function
TIP
● The speed-dependent function can be used only when all of the following three conditions are
met:
• Low-volume liquid spraying at 7.5m spray width, 8L/ha
• Left and right nozzles are selected
• The GPS signal reception is good (i.e. the outer GPS indicator lights are ON)
The state of the flight mode selector switch on the helicopter and the GPS control switch on
the flight transmitter are irrelevant.
● When the center nozzle is used, the speed-dependent function does not work, and discharging is
done in proportion to a constant volume set by the spray volume adjuster on the flight transmitter.
1 Switch the sprayer selector switch on the flight
control panel to “ ”.
2 Set the spray volume adjuster and the spray nozzle settings according to “Spray Specifications
Settings” on page 4-7.
TIP
If the flight velocity exceeds 20km/h, only the
outer lights of the YACS warning lights illuminate. If this happens, drop the flight velocity
to 20km/h or less.
Sprayer Selector Switch
GPS
YACS
Warning Light Indicator Light
Only the outer lights
of the YACS warning
lights illuminate
If the GPS signal reception is poor (the outer GPS indicator lights are ON), the speed-dependent function
does not work, and the chemical is discharged at a constant rate set by the spray volume adjuster on the flight
transmitter.
During a GPS-controlled flight, if the GPS signal reception worsens (GPS indicator lights cycles a pattern
“outer lights ON > inner lights ON > OFF”), the speed-dependent function does not work, and the chemical is
discharged at a constant rate set by the spray volume adjuster on the flight transmitter.
In this case, immediately turn OFF the GPS control switch according to the operation manual for the helicopter.

● When you turn all the way towards the (b) direction, and start turning back towards the (a) direction, the first notch you reach is Level 1.
● Turning in the (a) direction increases the spray volume, and turning in the (b) direction decreases
the spray volume.
● Levels between 32 to 40 use maximum current, therefore, do not use continuously.
● After adjusting the volume, make sure to put the rubber cover back on.
● The spray specifications settings above are only to be used as a guideline. Before the actual
spraying task, make sure to check the spray volume for the chemical you are using.
