STARTING

It is important to test the boom and spray gun with
plain water before using chemicals. This will enable
you to check the sprayer for leaks and to set the
spray pattern and nozzle pressure. If a leak should
occur, thread tape may be used to better seal the
leaking fitting.

HOW TO USE YOUR SPRAYER

USING THE SPRAYER
1.

BEFORE STARTING
it is important to test the boom and spray gun with plain
water before using chemicals. This will enable you to
check the sprayer for leaks and to set the spray pattern
and nozzle pressure, if a leak should occur, thread tape
may be used to better seal the fitting.

to help select the tractor speed in the following
instructions.
2.

ON-OFF SWITCH
This switch is connected in line to the wiring assembly and
is used by the operator to turn the pump motor on or off.
PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH
The pump is equipped with a pressure switch. The
pressure switch senses outlet pressure of the pump
and will turn off the electrical power to the pump when
it exceeds a predetermined high pressure point. If the
flow demand is very low, the pump may reach this high
pressure point and the switch will cause "cycling" (the
pump cycles on and off rapidly). This is not a problem
unless the pump is subject to continuous cycling within
one second intervals for long periods of time.
ON-OFF ADJUSTMENT

OF BOOM NOZZLES

The boom valve on the "Y" fitting controls flow to the
boom nozzles. It should be either completely open or
completely closed. The boom operating pressure can be
controlled using the bypass valve on the "Y" fitting.
ADJUSTING SPRAY GUN NOZZLE
Turn the nozzle on the spray gun to adjust the spray from
a cone shaped fine mist to a straight stream. Control
the spray gun operating pressure with the bypass valve
on the "Y" fitting. Maximum spray gun pressure can be
attained when the boom is shut off.

Determine the application rate (gallons per 1,000
sq. feet or gallons per acre) based on the chemical
manufacturers recommendations. Use this rate

Determine the approximate square footage of the
area to be sprayed and estimate the number of
gallons required. This can help avoid unneeded
solution left in the tank.
Determine the appropriate speed at which to travel,
based on the recommended application rate. Use the
table on page 10.
To determine the throttle setting for attaining the
appropriate speed, mark off 100, 200 and 300 feet
intervals. The speed chart at the bottom of page
10 indicates the number of seconds it takes to
travel these distances. Set the throttle and, with a
running start, travel the distances in the number of
seconds indicated by the speed chart. Once you have
determined the throttle and gear settings needed,
mark the throttle location so that you can easily
resume the same speed after stopping.
Add the chemical solution to the tank, following the
product instructions.
Drive to the starting place for spraying. Set the boom
in position for spraying. Set the throttle at the position
determined in step 4. Flip the sprayer's in-line switch
to the "ON" position to start spraying.
Stay clear of flowers, shrubs and evergreen trees
when spraying weed control solutions to prevent
contact of the solution with these sensitive plants.

CAUTION: WEAR EYE PROTECTION,
GLOVES AND PROTECTWE CLOTHING
WHEN HANDLING AND WORKING WITH
LAWN CHEMICALS.

SETTING THE BOOM FOR SPRAYING
The correct positioning of the boom places the nozzles
approximately 40" apart and 14" above the ground. This
gives a spray width of approximately 80" with a slight
center overlap. See figure 11.
1. Slide the boom bars out to the ends of the slots.
2. Swivel the boom bars until the nozzles are
3.

approximately 14" above the ground.
Make sure the nozzles are adjusted so that the
openings point straight down.

FOR LOOSE FASTENERS

CLEANING

THE STRAINERS

At least once a season, clean the strainer in the end
of the intake hose at the bottom of the tank. Remove
the nylon swivel nut from the hose, pull out the screen
and flush it with clear water.

Before each use make a thorough visual check of
the sprayer for any bolts and nuts which may have
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.

FLUSH THE TANK

At least once a season, clean the strainers in the
boom nozzles. Remove the nozzle, pull out the
screen and flush it with clear water.

Remove any solution left in tank. Fill the sprayer
part way with water, start the sprayer and allow
clear water to be pumped through the plumbing
system and out through the boom assembly and the
handgun. Use the handgun to thoroughly wash all
internal parts of the tank, the outside of the tank and
the boom.

LUBRICATION
Apply a few drops of oil to the wheel hubs at least
once a year.

Refill the tank about half full with plain water and
a chemical neutralizer and repeat the cleaning
instructions above. Flush the entire sprayer with
the neutralizing agent. Follow the chemical
manufacturers instructions for disposal of all wash or
rinsing water.

STORAGE

RECOMMENDATIONS

iMPORTANT:
Do not allow chemicals to sit in pump for
extended times of idleness. Some chemicals will damage
the pump valve if allowed to soak untreated for a length
of time. Always flush the pump with water after each use.
Follow the procedures in the Maintenance section for
flushing and disposal.

Drain all water out of the sprayer, paying special
attention to the pump and handgun. These items
are especially prone to damage from chemicals and
freezing weather.
The sprayer should be winterized before storage
by pumping a 50-50 solution of water and R.V.
antifreeze through the entire plumbing. Proper care
and maintenance will prolong the life of the sprayer.

PROBLEM

CAUSE

Pump motor cycles on and off rapidly.
(OK) for short periods of time.

System pressure is reaching maximum
setting of pump's pressure switch.

Decrease the system pressrure by
increasing the opening of the bypass
valve.

Pressure too low

Bypass valve open too far.
Tank strainer dirty.
Nozzle strainers dirty.
Nozzles set too low.

Decrease opening of bypass valve.
Remove strainer and clean.
Remove strainers and clean.
Adjust boom arms. See page _.

Nozzles donlt po!nt straight down.

Rotate nozzle open!ng down.

Pressure OK but boom spray weak
Boom spray pattern does not overlap
enough in the middle
