Note (1) Spray head opening is automatically controlled by the system to achieve Auto Mode Coverage or manual mode flow rate. Spray head opening is automatically controlled by the system to achieve Auto Mode Coverage or manual mode flow rate.
Note (2) The Auto Mode setting controls water coverage and automatically adjusts to the number of spray heads being used — independent of ground speed. This is an exclusive feature designed into the Cat WDS software to help water more efficiently. Water flow is continually adjusted during operation to conserve water and achieve desired coverage and flow rate.
