Course Description:
Members that complete this training will demonstrate the theoretical introductory knowledge and introductory hands-on skills for safe work habits and process control procedures of Plural Spray Equipment including plural costing products, start-up, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, deployment, and spray application. The Level 1 (Introductory) course is three days. It consists of ~half classroom, ~half hands-on.

Students must complete daily homework (it is graded), final exam, and practical on both pumps.
